Hi there,
to me, mcedit is a hidden gem. It struck the right balance between ease
of use, advanced features and simplicity. However, I miss an important
function: The ability to center the current line in the middle of the
screen. I could not find it anywhere, maybe someone from the community
can help?
I could image writing a work-around macro but before spending effort
on this I was wondering if there are best practices. Also, the macro
would not be so simple because I could not find a directive or definition
to get the current line number. Doing this externally via `tput` or
other tricks seems wrong and would it be even possible to combine
external commands with internal instructions?
Both while programming or writing longer texts, I often want to "center"
my view and cursor and not being stuck on the last line of the screen.
Most basic editors I know so far have this functionality on board (eg.
nano --> C-L).
Thank you for help on this in advance!
Kind regards,
Martin
