A frequently used dictionary or reference book has a dog-eared, well-thumbed appearance and falls open naturally on often-used pages.
I'd like this to happen to word-processor documents too - the scroll-bar should 'stick' slightly at parts of the document you frequently visit.

I am happy to re-bun this idea (following the crash of 1994). A positive effect of this idea is that, when passing through 100 occurrences of the same search word in a document to find the one you want, you could use the grease stains/yellowing of the page around the commonly looked-up entry to more quickly tell whether you are at the right one. |

I'd like it, sometimes. But, sometimes, I'd definatley want to shut it off. It should be a toggle switch in the word processing application, or I would always have it disabled. [+] |
