I find that evil-previous-line doesn't behave well with smooth-scrolling (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/SmoothScrolling). That is, if you press "k", when the cursor reaches the top of the window, a new page will appear. It should stop at e.g. 5 lines before window edge and smoothly scroll the text. evil-next-line works as it is supposed to, so I suspect this is a bug of some sort. The second issue I've been wondering about is the following: in my config, I have 14 lines that make sure that <return> in a particular mode does what it was originally bound to, e.g. (evil-declare-key 'motion completion-list-mode-map (kbd "<return>") 'choose-completion) (evil-declare-key 'motion completion-list-mode-map "RET" 'choose-completion) (evil-declare-key 'motion browse-kill-ring-mode-map (kbd "<return>") 'browse-kill-ring-insert-and-quit) (evil-declare-key 'motion browse-kill-ring-mode-map "RET" 'browse-kill-ring-insert-and-quit) Is there a better way to make sure that <return> always falls through to the current mode's binding, instead of evil-ret? --Leo
