Is it possible to force vim/vi to not place the cursor at the bottom of the screen when searching? For example, if I search for "some_func()" and match the example below, vim will more often than not place the cursor and the first line of some_func() at the bottom of the screen. If I want to see all of the arguments to some_func, I have to scroll down. Pine has a setting called "scroll-margin" that forces the cursor into a zone <n> lines from the top and bottom of the screen. Does vim have something similar?
some_func(a, really, long, list, of, arguments, that, spills, over, into, several, lines, and, will, likely, be, hidden, from, view, thereby, requiring, a, bit, of, scrolling);
