Makes the cursor stay vertically in a defined position (usually centered). The vertical position can be altered, see key definition below. To load put that in .emacs: (require 'centered-cursor-mode) To activate do: M-x centered-cursor-mode for buffer local or M-x global-centered-cursor-mode for global minor mode. Also possible: put that in .emacs (and (require 'centered-cursor-mode) (global-centered-cursor-mode +1)) to always have centered-cursor-mode on in all buffers.
