More Emacs functions

With these two functions you can scroll in a buffer up or down leaving the cursor at the relative position:

(defun move-up ()
  "moves the buffer up one line, leaving cursor at relative position."
  (interactive)
  (forward-line 1)
  (scroll-up 1))
(defun move-down ()
  "moves the buffer down one line, leaving cursor at relative position."
  (interactive)
  (forward-line -1)
  (scroll-down 1))
(global-set-key "\M-n" 'move-up)
(global-set-key "\M-p" 'move-down)
