But sometimes there is a line height, o developer of this code. ;-)

Your objections above make perfect sense for the ink of the hand-written notes, but the underlying stationary has a distance between the lines. Could the stationary selection also set a corresponding sensible scrolling size?

I was thinking that the person asking for this might have been using Xournal as I have sometimes, taking pages of TYPED notes, but clicking inside the text widget and using arrow keys.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was trying to say. Scrolling by exactly one line wouldn't be optimal, but if you scrolled by, say, 2-1/2 lines (just an example), it would be better. The problem isn't so much a matter of how far the button/key/gesture/whatever scrolls it by, but the fact that until now it's been (as far as I can tell) arbitrary. If we assume the user writes more-or-less within the lines on the lined paper, then a reasonable step size based on the lines would be a lot more useful. Unless someone comes up with something brilliant, it's probably only practical to ignore the case of someone that disregards the lines completely, however.

Good thought, but actually no. I just have messy writing, and thus when taking written notes at the speed of the lecture, I spend almost more time panning (due to the zoom level) than I do writing. The current state kind of ruins my use-case. :P
...That does bring up another point, though. Xournal's capability for annotating PDFs is one of its best features, in my opinion - especially for filling out forms or the skeleton notes some profs distribute in advance. In these cases, there are often no visible line markings, but the concept of a "line" is actually more important than when writing freely. I don't know if it would make sense to allow adjustment of line spacing in general, but that would make a big difference for this sort of use. I'm mentioning this just so you can keep it in mind as you design this and then next-gen UI, but I'm not too concerned about it.
Anyhow, great work so far.

Is there a hidden menu somewhere? The Diablo version seemed to be much more complete. What am I missing?

Is the version available now in Maemo Extras optified yet? Thought all apps in Maemo Extras (now maemo.org) are optified?

I believe Anidel sort of gutted it at the beginning, to ease the port. He's been adding features back in along the way, but Maemo 5's HIG is substantially different, and I would guess that Xournal probably isn't the easiest app to redesign to fit that.

Yep and sorry for the lack of updates !!

Any idea when the next version will be released?
Thanks

Fabulous tool. Two questions:
1. is there a shortcut for zoom-in/out in small amounts?
2. can I map the volume keys to next and previous page?

Anidel,
I'm really excited about xournal for the N900. Currently, I could use the features in the chinook version. Is there a way to get that version to install? (It says it needs libhildonhelp0 and won't install it.) Also, any news about the N900 version? I keep checking here and on your blog. It's going to be awesome!

Thanks again!

Bruce
