Good point. Since caret, text selection and object selection (including frames) are mutually exclusive, and limited to one page
I suppose one might wonder where a paste operation goes to.
Other actions which might usefully operate on the current page if one is active, but currently don't -- e.g. the 'Print sheet'
Print current page would be popular.
As to my other point about the arrow keys returning the window view to the caret (if there is one), I find there are many occasions where (RISC OS) Ovation Pro windows becomes corrupted, either when background font blending goes wrong, or (more often) when parts of a previous text selection are left inverted after the selection is cleared.
More on how not to do the job.
I therefore use F2, the
otherwise-redundant RISC OS 'Load document' key shortcut, for the
macro '{viewrepaint(0,0)}' which forces the window to refresh.
Something like this could be used also to move the viewport to
the current caret/selection.
