There is currently no counterpart of “z”, but there are commands 
to scroll up and down by less than a page:
– scroll-up and scroll-down scroll by the number of lines defined in 
Document > Browsing > Scrolling > Vertical step (2 by default). 
scroll-up is bound to Insert and Ctrl-P by default, and scroll-down to 
Delete and Ctrl-N.
– move-half-page-up and move-half-page-down, with no default 
keybindings.

There is also the option Document > Browsing > Scrolling > Vertical 
overlap that allows you to specify a number of lines from the bottom/top 
of the former page to repeat at the top/bottom of the new page after 
a PageDown/PageUp.

It would not be difficult to define a function to put a given line at 
the top, we just need the line’s y-position. Have a look at 
src/viewer/text/view.c, or just at commit 
6211b8e725f95c3c0851e13a93dec4afdb6c1d4e where I added the 
move-half-page-down/up commands.

There are already functions to move the cursor up and down even if there 
is no link so they could be used to select a line with the cursor and 
put it at the top.

There are functions that give the mouse position so I guess it would be 
possible 
with the mouse too.

[elinks-users] How to get desired line at the top of the screen

[Mayuresh]

To cut the long story short: I am looking for a counterpart of "z"
in vim editor.

Would be immensely useful to read long articles paragraph by paragraph by
taking the first line of the para at the top of the screen. Would avoid
the feeling of momentary visual discontinuity that a PageDown key crates.

This seems difficult to achieve with just keyboard in elinks unless a
cursor is provided to choose a line of interest and then some key
combination to take the same to the top.

I think it should be possible with a mouse scroll wheel, though A. Some
laptops don't have one (like mine). B. It is still a little irritating on
the eyes.

Would it be possible to make a mouse gesture such as click or double click
on a line to make it become the top line of the view?

Any other suggestions for para-by-para reading?

Mayuresh.
