Not that I use it while programming, but it could be useful to navigate through long orgfiles that span across the available emacs width (without needing to use wrapping). The only way I've found was to actually go to the long line and press C-e, which is totally not what I would like :) As a side note, scrolling in MacVim seems to be much better implemented than in Cocoa emacs. Cocoa emacs jumps the lines (i.e it's not smooth) making you loose track of where you are. MacVim has smooth scrolling, not sure if it's pixel based but works much better and integrates seamlessly with the Mac trackpad. Now, I've already talked about this on the emacs mailing list, unsurprisingly, most of the folks just said "why would you want that". Sad. Anyway, what I would like is just a way to scroll horizontally in emacs using the Mac trackpad. Does anyone know if it's possible? Cheers, Marcelo.
