Re: [Skim-app-users] Open Skim-enhanced PDFs (feature proposal)

[Bruce G. S. Ph.D. <bru...@ma...>]

This reminds me of features I would importune relative to navigation 
within a pdf. I just can't get around a pdf the way I would like and 
feel frustrated and impatient with most readers lack of navigation 
options. I like Skim a lot. This is no criticism of Skim, and I would 
like to see it get even better.

I grew up using EMACS and eschewing mice. I love key chords that get me 
around and go cross eyed with agitation relying solely on mice, page 
down, and scroll keys.

I use a trackball but don't like to take my hands off the keyboard. 
Apparently Steve Jobs does not like buttons. Key chords  have been ruled 
anathema  and  contrary to the Mac aesthetic.

That said, I would love something similar to the key chords in EMACS to, 
for example, go from the start to the end of a file. Chords to jump 
paragraph to paragraph, page to page, beginning of sentence, end of a 
sentence, etc. The more the merrier.

Or maybe I am missing something and should RTFM (read the manual). No, I 
just came back from the manual. I really can't get from here to there 
using key chords the way that would be optimal and efficient.
