No. I want scroll-behaviour to be Continous. Using only
scroll-forward should show me all of the nodes, not just the
few first levels nodes. But then: it should stop at the end.
(Or loop to the top, configurable, whatever the user prefers.)

Well, higher hackers like you probably think in structures, in
hierarchies, in graphs, and you have no problem with hitting the
appropriate keys to move around in them. But for simple persons
like me, everything is soup. And I wish to just swim around in it
without having to step over sills, climb over hedges, or jump
through hoops. It should be possible to read any document with
just a single key: <CursorDown>. And when reaching the end, it
should be possible to configure it so that it simply restarts at the
beginning without having to scroll all the way back up. Why force
the user to adapt to the program or the document? Why not give her
the possibility to configure the program to her liking?
