And A Counter From The Emacs Camp

I hate when you try to move down one line and your editor decides that you really wanted to scroll down ten lines but only move your cursor down one line. I can understand what they think they are accomplishing, since only scrolling your view one line doesn't provide you with much new information and so they move it a bunch so you can see a lot of new stuff. I have two problems with that. One, I am not terribly good at finding myself again when it jumps; I can't get used to the distance it jumps and it takes me forever to locate the line I actually wanted to read (you know, the next one). Two, I often want to shift the view up or down one line to expose as much of a given block of code as possible, as opposed to moving on to an entirely different block. If I wanted to move a lot, I would have used page down. The default behavior in Emacs is to jump some chunk of lines. I hate it.

BUT.

Three minutes of googling, the insertion of 30 characters into my .emacs file, and one config reload later everything is exactly how I want it to be. I didn't even have to quit my running session. That is how things should work.
