Hmm... Probably I completely missed the point, but is not ‘scroll-restore-jump-back’ an option that enables the title functionality of scroll-restore-mode — restoring the point position after scrolling, thus simulating the behaviour of most editors, which does not have that limitation of Emacs — that cursor position can be on-screen only.The aim of ‘scroll-restore-mode’ was much more modest: To move the cursor to the position of ‘window-point’ after a sequence of scroll commands have made that position invisible and then visible again. ‘scroll-restore-jump-back’ is much more aggressive: It forces the position of ‘window-point’ to become visible again and move the cursor to it after the first command which is not part of a sequence of scroll commands that have made that position invisible. If you are used to the behavior of "most editors" where such behavior is the default, you might like this. Note, however, that the behavior I just described is not precisely the behavior of these editors because, in addition to moving window-point when it is scrolled off-screen, Emacs may also move window-point when it enters the scroll margin. Such movement is left alone by my algorithm.
Thank you for explanation.
How would you recommend to use it? To write an advice around ‘keyboard-quit’ (like below), so scrolling would be ‘cancelled’ only with ‘C-g’? (defadvice keyboard-quit (before scroll-restore-jump-back activate) (scroll-restore-jump-back))It depends on what precisely you want to accomplish (or what you are used to). But why on earth would you want to advise ‘keyboard-quit’?
To make ‘C-g’ and other keys that I bound to ‘keyboard-quit’ to ‘quit’ scrolling (if I may say so) too, of course. Should I redefine these keys instead?
I'll attach my latest version of ‘scroll-restore-mode’. Please try it. If you confirm that this version worksYes. My appreciations to you.and doesn't break anything else,I could not try anything, of course, but at first sight it does not.All you have to do is use it for a sufficient amount of time. I'm confident that there are unresolved issues left.
And you are right. There is one of them: now it breaks macros that involve isearch. Suppose that macro:
C-x ( C-s sit RET SPC bar C-x ) By executing it on a line: ¦Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. instead of: Lorem ipsum dolor sit bar¦ amet. I get: r¦ab Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet. (‘¦’ denotes point).
