;;; Commentary:
;;    This mode allows multiple buffers to be 'locked' so that scrolling
;;    up or down lines in any buffer causes all the buffers to mirror
;;    the scrolling.  It hooks into the post-command-hook to check for
;;    potential scrolling commands and if we're locked, mirrors them in all
;;    windows.	This allows us to grab line-at-a-time scrolling as well as
;;    screen-at-a-time scrolling, and doesn't remap any of the keyboard
;;    commands to do it.

;; You can enable and disable this mode with the 'scroll-all-mode' command.
