Emacs: how can i just show the next line when i reach the last line of the view?

Question

Hi,

when i move the cursor upwards or downwards and it reach the first/last line of the view (the part of the file that is been showed) it "jumps" so it shows the before/next half page of the view instead of just showing the before/next line (like in vi).

So how can i just show the next line?

Regards

Javi

There are a few different ways of controlling this. Have a look at the documentation for variables scroll-step and scroll-conservatively. Also the manual here.

Something like:

M-x set-variable<RET> scroll-conservatively<RET> 3<RET>

Or more permanently:

M-x customize-variable<RET> scroll-conservatively<RET>
