[Nano-devel] RFC: stop <Enter> at bottom from scrolling half a screen when --smooth is used?

[Benno Schulenberg]

Hello all,

Currently, when --smooth or 'set smooth' is used, and the cursor is on
the bottom row of the edit window, then, when <Enter> is pressed, the
screen is scrolled half a page.  The same behavior occurs when you're
just typing along and automatic hard-wrapping kicks in while the cursor
is on the bottom row: the screen scrolls half a page.  Neither of these
behaviors I experience as smooth.  But: pasting a line-break instead of
pressing <Enter> behaves differently -- it scrolls just one row.

To see what I mean, run:  nano --ignore --smooth +1 README
Then type:  M-6  M-/  ^U  ^U  ^U
Note that for each pasted line-break, the screen scrolls one row.
Now press <Enter>.  The screen scrolls half a page.

I propose that <Enter> (and automatic hard-wrapping), when the cursor
is on the bottom row, scrolls just one row, when --smooth is used.

What do you say?

Benno
