Hi.
I've just discovered strange thing in Lister. When You scrolling text using CTRL+ARROWS carret stays in the same position (OK), but when You rich the edge of the screen cursor disappears. It should stay on the first line (top) or last line (bottom). It looks like carret is always on 0 line (if You count from 1) or in the n+1 line (if n is first line from bottom).
P.S. Sorry for my english, if I mixed to much

I agree with that. It would be very convenient.

I'm not sure I understood correctly... Do you mean that on Ctrl+arrows the cursor should change its position instead of moving out of the visible area? If yes, then I strongly disagree! The cursor should move only when I explicitly make it move by the cursor movement keys or mouse click. Else I could not e.g. scroll for several pages and then select all these pages from the current cursor position with Shift+click.

Hmmm, you got a point there.
CTRL + arrows and ALT + arrows seem to do exactly the same thing at the moment. Perhaps one of them should be altered to act like fenix_productions described. What you describe is not convenient in all cases...

Cursor should change position (always in 1st/last line) only if rich the edges. This is working now, but it is not perfect. The current solution is that cursor is hidden from user's view. It stays in 0 and n+1 position. Please check it and scroll some text using CTRL/ALT+ArrowKey. No matter how far You scroll text up, only one ArrowDown key press is needed for caret to be visible.
One press should takes you back to one line more than place where You've started moving.
The best solution could be to have two different cases for ALT and CTRL.

Ah, now I see what you mean. But this looks more like a bug. Please, try the following: scroll down with Ctrl+down for many lines, and then do not move the cursor, but just scroll up with Ctrl+up. You will see that the cursor position did not change, and this is absolutely correct behaviour (look at Notepad, MS Word, Wordpad and many other editors. I assume there are editors which keep the cursor in the visible area, but they are definitely not a majority).
