14 Controlling the Display
Since only part of a large buffer fits in the window, Emacs has to show only a part of it. This chapter describes commands and variables that let you specify which part of the text you want to see, and how the text is displayed.
• Scrolling: | Commands to move text up and down in a window. | |
• Recentering: | A scroll command that centers the current line. | |
• Auto Scrolling: | Redisplay scrolls text automatically when needed. | |
• Horizontal Scrolling: | Moving text left and right in a window. | |
• Narrowing: | Restricting display and editing to a portion
of the buffer. | |
• View Mode: | Viewing read-only buffers. | |
• Follow Mode: | Follow mode lets two windows scroll as one. | |
• Faces: | How to change the display style using faces. | |
