In emacs, if you hit the down arrow key, the cursor will go to next line in the text, i.e., the part after the first next '\n'. However, sometimes when the line is long and is wrapped into several lines on the screen, I wanna move between the screen lines, instead of the text lines, just like what happens when you hit the down arrow key in gedit or the notepad in Windows. How to do that?
The best way I know is to use isearch (C-s) for two or three characters before the one you want the cursor moved to and then isearch-exit which I have bound to M-s. (I use a Dvorak layout so you may want to bind to some other keychord) M-s is center-line in textmode but this is overridden in the context of isearch.
