Remember scroll lock? It would allow you to keep your cursor in the middle of the screen as you edited. I have missed that feature for a million years.
I do a lot of text editing and it often involves search and replace, or just quickly going through a lot of text. I always end up with my cursor at the bottom, wishing that I could know what was in front of me so I could work faster, and without messing with controlling the pages.
Could QM automatically keep the cursor (I really mean the insertion point, not the mouse cursor) in the middle of the Y axis of the screen so I can see what is below it all the time?
My workaround has been to use a macro that moves the text up so many lines at a time, but it's a crude solution, just doing 20 Ds and 20 Us.
I'd love to know of any better solutions, whether or not they are exactly like scroll lock.
