Hi François, Keys them-selfs work fine (I am using fn-Up/Down combinations on Mac keyboard). But default editor action is to just scroll page up or down without moving cursor up or down - that would be fine is the was other combination of keys that will scroll text along with moving cursor position.
I am guessing Option+Up/Down was intend to be used in that way but it does not work as expected: instead of jumping one page up/down and _keeping_ relative screen position of cursor it move cursor to the very top line or to the very bottom line. But this is a really very bad move: as user I almost _never_ need my cursor on top line of screen or on last line of screen - because for editing I need to see context of editing area and having cursor or top or bottom line effectively hide half of the context. So if I press say Option+Up (two times btw because first will just move to top line, and only second one will scroll text) - I most likely will need to move cursor at least few lines down before I can edit anything. So in the end I will have to press at least 5-6 keys just to jump to previous page and start editing. Please note that 99.9% of other text editors have this operation bind to just one key press, including Apple standard TextEdit and Pages (fn+option+up/down will trigger that action). So from user perspective this functionality is clearly broken in BBEdit. Thanks, Erni.
