It have nothing to do with MSWindows at all, I have not used windows since ~95 and honestly do not know how things work is that world. As I mentioned before, I wanted to point out that Option+Up/Down functionality is now horribly broken. And that functionality is _standard_ on mac, all Apple products have it: Apple TextEdit, Pages and XCode etc. - they all have action that allow you to jump one page up/down while moving the cursor and _keeping_ it relative screen position. Just open standard TextEdit, load long file and try using option+PageUp/PageDown (if you using MacBook it will be fn+option+up/ down) and you will know what it mean.
And just to be clear - I am not asking to change keybindings. All i want to point out that BBEdit behave in non standard (from Mac user point of view) way and it would be much better is that will be fixed. Best, Erni.
