I'm glad to hear that since I suspect PAGEBOTTOM/PAGETOP/PAGEMIDDLE
will be more often useful for most.

That said, could the ability to change the view by pushing a button be
retained by using PAGELEFT/PAGERIGHT? I mention those bindings, with
PREVVIEW/NEXTVIEW being already used for the similar ability to move
through multiple presets in places like Search Words|Stored Search. If
PAGELEFT/PAGERIGHT are made available, there would ideally be some
sort of on-screen indication of the current view ("Title," "Reverse
Time," etc.) much the way that the current preset search is displayed.

I take back what I said above. Are PAGEBOTTOM/PAGETOP/PAGEMIDDLE going
away?
