Hello

Is there any hotkey way to get the current line to be in the middle of the screen?

Background 
If while one is looking at one's tasks, one accidentally hits say the [Home] key, then the top task on your view gets focus.
What is useful is that [Alt]+[BackArrow] will get one back to task one was looking at. 

However, now your task is at the bottom of your screen. (But this is irritating because you can't see the neighbouring tasks below it that are coming up...)

If one then hits [PgDn] then [PgUp] you task will now your task to the top of your screen.  (But this is irritating because in Hierarchical view you can't see where you are...)

Obviously, you could use the mouse wheel to scroll the current line into the middle of the screen, but this is slow because it requires one to use the mouse. 
How can I quickly get the current task to be (vertically) in the middle of my screen, just using the keyboard.

Cheers

J

I second this request.
It can be frustrating, as long as there is no touchscreen handle to quickly move the list with fingers.

Hi,

you can use autohotkey and binding a key to act as mouse scroll

^PgUp::
Send {WheelUp 3}
Return
Ctrl+Pgup will act as sroll mous up 3 times.

To make hotkey work only in work only in MLO:
#IfWinActive ahk_exe mlo.exe

^PgUp::
Send {WheelUp 3}
Return

return
#if

Yes, you reach out with your arms and move the computer over.
