Well, you got a point there. I remember that for some time I simply used
something like
(global-set-key (kbd "<down>")
(lambda () (interactive)
(progn (next-line) (redisplay t))))
which also prevents the jumping. But obviously, if you do that, Emacs
will start to lag behind the input, so that it continues scrolling even
when you're no longer pressing the key, which is worse than jumping.
What I would like is that the input is somehow limited to Emacs'
speed, but maybe this simply isn't possible?
