[TxMt] Re: cursor doesn't follow page up / down

It seems to me that the primary use case when you scroll to a new location in an editable document is to "start editing", so it would be logical for the cursor to follow along. Is there some UI interaction pattern / use case that I don't understand?

For me, it allows the cursor to serve as a temporary bookmark: if I need to, I can examine another part of the document, then start typing and immediately jump back to what I was working on.

If I need to edit something after paging, I'll probably want to use the mouse anyway to move the cursor, rather than stepping through with the arrow keys to the right line and column.
