Hi,
I know that I can "center" my cursor with C-l. But sometimes it would be
really useful to do the following: have the contents of the buffer move
up or down a couple of lines, with the cursor staying in the same place.
What function would do that? Then I could bind it to a key.
Thanks,
Tamas

scroll-up and scroll-down
C-u 3 M-x scroll-up RET
C-u 6 M-x scroll-down RET
Also, since they're often bound to and you can just type:
C-3 or C-6

(defun scroll-down-in-place (n)
(interactive "p")
(previous-line n)
(scroll-down n))
(defun scroll-up-in-place (n)
(interactive "p")
(next-line n)
(scroll-up n))
Far more on this list.

Look at C-h f scroll-up and scroll-down. For a demo try:
C-u 1 M-x scroll-up
Maybe this works, I don't know. Evaluate it and try it:
(global-set-key [(super q)] (lambda () (interactive) (scroll-up 1)))

I think so. To confirm it, type C-h k PgUp and see if its name is

There isn't really a decent existing Emacs function, but it's very easy
to write them. In fact, these commands were the first I ever wrote.
Here they are: I've bound them to - and -, so
they'll only work if you're in a GUI system (or you've already enhanced
your terminal keyboard setup).
Additionally, - moves point 6 lines up, and
-- scrolls the screen 6 lines; just the same for
.... And quite a few other goodies, too. Try them!
Enjoy!

One of emacs's problem that set back today's programers from adapting
it is obsolete terminologies. The key names such as , ,
RET, is one of them. (and Meta, of course)
It would be good, if a major new release of emacs, support and use
throughout names like or etc instead (The
is already supported by at least emacs 22, but not used or widely used
in emacs documentations). With this, user don't have to go “huh?” when
reading web pages, guides, blogs, or discussions about typing some
keystrokes or keybindings, etc. (whenever we get a question about
this, we can probably assume 10 or more users had the same question
but didn't bother to ask)

Like Alan Mackenzie, i also defined a keystroke to scroll screen up or
down by just 1 line. Had this for like 10 years.
basically i just have this:
(global-set-key (kbd "C- ") (lambda () (interactive) (scroll-down
2)))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-") (lambda () (interactive) (scroll-up
2)))
However, this week i actually took them off. :D
Relying on mouse scroll wheel instead, or recenter (default to C-l),
just for a fresh change. If mouse is not available, well possibly i
don't need to scroll screen in such way since as far as i looked, vast
majority of major editors (X-code, Visual Studio, Eclipse) don't have
it (i might be wrong since i haven't yet checked in detail). (so this
is to experiment)
Part of the other reason is that i can free up the modifier+arrow
keyspace for more consistent use for, say, sexp navigation or other,
havn't really decided what.
