Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to this. Thank you for the suggestion. I'll look into this a little more. > I generally like the way Vim adjusts the screen after a jump: > short, on-screen jumps don't scroll; long jumps center the cursor. > I usually don't like it, though, when the jump puts the cursor on > the first or last line of the screen. I want a little context for > that line. Hmm. I actually don't like the same screen jumps avoiding the scroll, but I could live with that. What I've noticed is that using CtrlP and jumping to a tag tends to put my cursor all over the place when jumping to another buffer. I wonder if that's because the tag is within the visible data at that point, so Vim doesn't scroll? I'll have to investigate that more. > 'scrolloff' is not the solution.

Good point. Thanks for the example! -John -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
