Getting the cursor to page in TextWrangler

When you hit Page Up or Page Down in TextWrangler, the cursor doesn't move with the view. The result is that once you find what you are looking for, and you hit one of the other keys, the view goes back to where it was before you started paging. This behavior can be very frustrating.

To make this work correctly, you need to hold down the Alt key before you start paging. If you do this, the cursor focus will move along with the view when you Page Up or Page Down.
