Re: Scroll lock

[Richard M. Stallman]

    The mode does two things: First, it fixes point at its vertical
    position during scrolling and second, it turns commands for vertically
    moving point by lines or paragraphs into commands which scroll the
    buffer by the respective amount.  This results in a more pager- or
    browser-like (as Miles put it) behavior.  Like this it becomes very
    easy to incrementally scroll the buffer up or down.

1. If people like this as an option, I won't object to it as a minor
   mode.

2. scroll-preserve-screen-position should not affect anything
   but scroll commands.

3. Do you want this in all buffers, or only in read-only buffers?
