I didn't understand this: do you mean that when you hit arrow down or  
return on the last visible line, the line with the caret shall then  
be centered in the display (like NSTextView does, which I absolutely  
hate), or, that if a document contain 80 lines, it's still possible  
to have line #80 centered, due to virtual lines below #80?

As for the latter, I have on the to-do that cmd-J (center caret in  
display) should add padding to always achieve centering (i.e. also  
when the caret is on the last lines of the document), but I don't  
like always having the padding, since the vertical scroll bar would  
then be wrong.
