           Summary: Next/Previous Page should keep position on page
           Product: okular
           Version: 0.6.5
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kjetilho at ifi.uio.no


Version:           0.6.5 (using KDE 4.0.5)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

When the page does not fit (too large zoom), choosing Previous/Next Page don't
have the behaviour I want -- the top of the next page will be centred
horizontally, rather than keeping the position on the page intact.

As an example when this is useful, in some cases the document has wide borders,
and it would be very convenient to zoom in so the actual text is visible and
nothing else.  However, this is foiled by the viewport position being reset
when switching pages, so the user (me) has to recentre the viewport on the
text.  (BTW, I think it's hard to automate this, since headers and footers
should be ignored.)

I'm not sure if this could replace the current behaviour without others
complaining, so it might be preferable to add it as a separate action available
for the user to add a shortcut for, or to make it an option in settings.

For what it's worth, in good old gv, PageUp/PageDown behaves like this.  Not
quite enough to make me switch back, though ;-)
