1) That’s scrolloff, `set scrolloff=0` to remove this function altogether (I keep mine set to 2)

Oh sure, but it means having to have a .vimrc for consistency.

My own desktop's vimrc has a few useful shortcuts (F5 for example to "compile" a graphviz file to dot -T x11 -- my VB3 roots showing), but the majority of vim use across the estate has never needed it before.

Fortunately I do have a facility to distribute .vimrc to undo these disastrous changes, but changing the default behaviour was rather annoying for an editor that is so ubiquitous.
