Is there a way to configure emacs in order that when I scroll (usually with the mouse wheel), the point (the cursor position) stay at the same position in the buffer, even if this point is not in the visible part anymore? this could be usefull to see a matching parenthesis or the beginning of a region, etc...
For finding a matching parenthesis, I'd recommend using `forward-sexp' or `backward-sexp'. These commands should be bound to some convenient keystroke, since they are just so useful. In general, I think the answer is probably either "no" or "there's a better way"... but using a trick I just learned from David Kastrup here, how about C-SPC C-g <navigate to wherever you want>, then C-u C-SPC (or alternatively C-x C-x), to return to where you set the mark? (C-g is only inserted in this sequence to prevent the region from being highlighted in `transient-mark-mode'). (Sorry that this advice has nothing to do with your mouse wheel, but you could probably set things up to set/restore the mark etc. all with the mouse - then you'd be totally set!) _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
