added scrolling
I agree with @angrybacon. Seeing the defun-statements here kind of gives me the wrong vibes...
I also agree that this is more of a custom setting that someone would prefer, rather than an OOB default.
Besides the poor implementation, do you guys really like the full scrolling? that was the worst part of default emacs for me. But oh well.
I would use it all the time if there was some sort of animated scrolling. It's really hard to keep track of the context, even with a higher value for the variable I mentioned earlier.
It's still in my todo to be perfected but one use I have of it is to scroll the preview of the candidates in a Helm session and when using isearch.
@mguzmann I don't like full scrolling I use half window as well, I use that via evil-mode's 'evil-scroll-up nil' and 'evil-scroll-down nil'. I still think that this is something more individual than global. (aren't most of users using the mouse wheel anyway?)
The question what the expected default behavior should be. I don't think any new user expects full scrolling by default.

I must admit I do find it confusing (even as a seasoned Emacs-user), and I seriously doubt I'm alone in that.
As I understand it, the main criticism in this thread has not been about the intent, but the implementation. Or did I misunderstand anything?
@mguzmann I presume that you have taken your code from here . Looking at the wiki it does seem like the most sane solution without any external packages (next-screen-context-lines is height of window dependent, so you'll need a defun anyway).... In that case I suggest a merge.
@mguzmann Well, I can't test what Page Down and Page Up do with less or more but if they behave like Space, they scroll full page don't they? After all the key itself conveys full page scroll.
I think recent changes to Emacs (eglot, tree-sitter, etc) has helped make Emacs much more usable OOB. Considering repo-purpose obsolete.
Closing all issues and archiving repo. Thanks to all contributors!
