CTL+HOME (Top Of Document)

[bigfan]

As much as I like Atlantis, there is one "feature" I would change:

In other Word Processors, when the user presses Ctl+Home,
it sends the view back up to the very top of the document, with the
vertical scroll bar going all the way back up to its edge, and the
top of the document in full view.

With Atlantis, the Ctl+Home places the first line of the document
at the top of the window, not the actual top of the document. I find
this a bit awkward, as I would like to see the top of the first page
instead of simply the first line.

The view of the page when starting a new document, with the upper
edge of the first page visible, is what I'd like to see whenever I press
Ctl+Home.

Thanks for reading this.

The Ctrl+Home and Ctrl+End commands of Atlantis will be adjusted. A new behavior will be included in any next official build or release of Atlantis.

Thanks.

While I hate being fussy, sometimes I think the best suggestions
toward updating a product are just little "pet peeves," things we're
used to on other products but need to be "tweaked" into place to
make good quality software (like Atlantis) right up there with the rest.

Also, they're probably an easy enough fix for the programmers,
so I consider them more like "minor cleanups" than "new features."

Once again, thank you for your considerate response.
If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.

OK, I thought of something else.
Or maybe I should say I noticed something else.

When I open up a document, I like to see the very top
of the document... the top edge of the page. That is not
currently what happens.

In other words:
The view of the document when opened should mimic
the view of the document when Ctl+Home is pressed...
The very top of the doc should be visible i.e. the top edge.

I'm not saying this is "law," but rather how I think about it,
as a matter of being logical.

Thanks.

PS: The Ctl+Home fix is nice!
I'd just like to see the same view when I open a document.

When you open a document, Atlantis might scroll the document window if the "Tool | Options > Load/Save > Save cursor position" option is on. Also extra scrolling might be performed in some cases depending on the document zooming factor, page margins, formatting of the first paragraph, and the document window size. But in a vast majority of cases when you open a document the top edge of the first page should stay in view.

Thank you for your response.

I have been experimenting with different settings lately,
including both Page Settings and Formatting.

I went back and opened a couple of documents I worked on
recently, and I'm happy to report they all opened with the
very top of the page in view. Everything's working fine.
