In that case there are two ways feature could be activated. 1) Using a special symbol for `scroll-preserve-screen-position'. Setting it e.g. to 'always would preserve screen position of point for any scroll command, even those which would not move point out of the visible portion of the buffer. The behavior you get when setting the variable to t would stay as is. 2) Using a new variable for activating the new feature, e.g. `scroll-preserve-screen-position-always'. Personally I'd prefer the first approach because the current behavior and the new one are mutually exclusive, so it doesn't make much sense controlling them with two independent variables. -- Ralf _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
