Hotkey(s) to scroll up/down ...

Post by AEN007 »

14March2012

Greetings.
As far as I can tell,
Atlantis does not have hotkey options
to scroll the active document up/down 1 line at a time ...
ScrollLock (which would not be an equivalent substitute) seems to have no effect.
It seems the only way to scroll up/down 1 line at a time
is to move the cursor to the top/bottom edge of the active document window & move/up down ...
Syntax editors (as some readers of this posting might know) commonly have that feature ...
... might make Atlantis a uniquely endowed text editor ...

Which is strange, as this is what this key is meant for. It is funny that it is disregarded by many software products including Atlantis.

Here is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scroll_lock:

“Scroll lock is an antiquated keyboard button (often with an associated status light) on some computer keyboards. The key is not frequently used and therefore some keyboards lack Scroll Lock altogether.[1]

The Scroll Lock key was meant to lock all scrolling techniques, and is a remnant from the original IBM PC keyboard, though it is not used by most modern-day software. In the original design, Scroll Lock was intended to modify the behavior of the arrow keys. When the Scroll Lock mode was on, the arrow keys would scroll the contents of a text window instead of moving the cursor. In this usage, Scroll Lock is a toggling lock key like Num Lock or Caps Lock, which have a state that persists after the key is released.

Today, this particular use of Scroll Lock is rare. Only a few modern programs still honor this behavior, such as Lotus Notes, and Microsoft Excel. Most GUI environments neglect Scroll Lock, which means scrolling must be accomplished with a computer mouse, using means such as scrollbars or scroll wheels. Some text editors (notably, Visual Studio) exhibit similar behaviour when arrow keys are used with control key depressed.”

Ctrl-Arrow(s) is not equivalent to nor a substitute for this 1 line at a time scroll functionality ...
à mon avis ...

Nonetheless it could be a very useful function, and I am surprised to see Atlantis developers take Wikipedia which is notorious for wrong information as guidelines for software feature. I would greatly appreciate the possibility to scroll the text using arrow buttons rather than the mouse. So please implement it.
