Can this script be used to make the cursor always stay in the middle (except at beginning/end of file of course) ? If smooth-scroll-margin is set to half the window size, that is exactly what happens. I figured I could just set it to an arbitrarily high value so it would work with any window size, but apparently if smooth-scroll is larger than half the window size, emacs will only scroll at the edges, and by more than one line at a time, as if smooth-scrolling hadn't been loaded at all. A workaround would be to make emacs change smooth-scroll-margin to half the window size every time a window is opened/resized, but I don't know how to do that. To demonstrate the behavior I am looking for, try scrolling in vim after doing ":set scrolloff=1000". Hi.

I got the script from the emacsWiki page. Exactly what I've been looking for. The one margin problem I still have with emacs is lack of sideways smooth scrolling *while selecting with the mouse*. This makes it very hard to highlight what I want if part of it goes off the edge of the window. I don't like wrapping sentences. Any ideas? This works great, thanks for the link.
