#46 Page up/down shouldn't move cursor

[Michael Sullivan]

Use the page up/down keys shouldn't move the cursor
(i.e. they should behave like scroll up/down works).

Currently, the cursor keeps repositioning itself every
time you press page up/down. I don't understand why
you would want your cursor to keep moving around on
you just because you want to look somewhere else in
the file briefly.

I actually modified my private copy of 5.2 to behave this
way, but when I upgraded to 5.3, I never got back
around to making the change again. Now that I'm
working with 5.4RC1, I decided to try to get this change
added in officially. I can try to dig out my 5.2 changes
if it would help.

If not everybody likes this change, perhaps there could
be a preferences that could turn it on/off.

That's why NEdit has a macro language and lets you redefine
the keyboard at your wishes. What can be the problem
of assigning the page down key to next_page("scrollbar")
and the page up key to previous_page("scrollbar")?

This is even quicker than making a feature request :-)

I absolutely disagree with this as it is completely contrary
to the way every application I have ever used works. I agree
with Joerg, do it as a macro!

This request should be denied. This would change a basic
behaviour to something no other application does.

It is also easy to configure NEdit locally to do it.
