482 @section Scrolling | |
483 | |
484 If a buffer contains text that is too large to fit entirely within a | |
485 window that is displaying the buffer, Emacs shows a contiguous portion of | |
486 the text. The portion shown always contains point. | |
487 | |
488 @cindex scrolling | |
489 @dfn{Scrolling} means moving text up or down in the window so that | |
490 different parts of the text are visible. Scrolling forward means that text | |
491 moves up, and new text appears at the bottom. Scrolling backward moves | |
492 text down and new text appears at the top. | |
493 | |
494 Scrolling happens automatically if you move point past the bottom or top | |
495 of the window. You can also explicitly request scrolling with the commands | |
496 in this section. | |

580 Another way to do scrolling is with @kbd{C-l} with a numeric argument. | |
581 @kbd{C-l} does not clear the screen when given an argument; it only scrolls | |
582 the selected window. With a positive argument @var{n}, it repositions text | |
583 to put point @var{n} lines down from the top. An argument of zero puts | |
584 point on the very top line. Point does not move with respect to the text; | |
585 rather, the text and point move rigidly on the screen. @kbd{C-l} with a | |
586 negative argument puts point that many lines from the bottom of the window. | |
587 For example, @kbd{C-u - 1 C-l} puts point on the bottom line, and @kbd{C-u | |

660 The command @kbd{C-x <} (@code{scroll-left}) scrolls the selected | |
661 window to the left by @var{n} columns with argument @var{n}. This moves | |
662 part of the beginning of each line off the left edge of the window. | |
663 With no argument, it scrolls by almost the full width of the window (two | |
664 columns less, to be precise). | |
665 | |
666 @kbd{C-x >} (@code{scroll-right}) scrolls similarly to the right. The | |
667 window cannot be scrolled any farther to the right once it is displayed | |
668 normally (with each line starting at the window's left margin); | |
669 attempting to do so has no effect. This means that you don't have to | |
670 calculate the argument precisely for @w{@kbd{C-x >}}; any sufficiently large | |
671 argument will restore the normal display. | |

813 The hidden lines are still present in the buffer, and most editing | |
814 commands see them as usual, so you may find point in the middle of the | |
815 hidden text. When this happens, the cursor appears at the end of the | |
816 previous line, after the three dots. If point is at the end of the | |
817 visible line, before the newline that ends it, the cursor appears before | |
818 the three dots. | |
819 | |
820 To make all lines visible again, type @kbd{C-x $} with no argument. | |
821 | |
822 @vindex selective-display-ellipses | |
823 If you set the variable @code{selective-display-ellipses} to | |
824 @code{nil}, the three dots do not appear at the end of a line that | |
825 precedes hidden lines. Then there is no visible indication of the | |
826 hidden lines. This variable becomes local automatically when set. | |
