How to change scroll behaviour of Opera keyboard shortcuts?

In versions prior to Opera 12, the last line on the page becomes the first line when using keyboard shortcut Page Down or Space. But scroll behaviour was changed in Opera 12 to show last 6 lines due to the following reason.

Some time last year it became very popular to have position:fixed bar on top of sites (examples are Facebook and Twitter). Soon bug reports came trickling in about scrolling in Opera being broken - hiding content. Dozens of reports, including from active, experienced my.opera members but mostly from normal users.

You can use Scroll Marker extension to easily locate the last read line or change the keyboard shortcut action as shown below to bring back old scroll behaviour.

Search keyboard setup for PageDown & Space and change action under browser widget to the following. 

Delay, 10 & Go to page,"javascript:(function(){window.scrollBy(0,window.innerHeight-20)})()"
Search keyboard setup for PageUp and change action under browser widget to the following. 
Delay, 10 & Go to page,"javascript:(function(){window.scrollBy(0,-window.innerHeight+20)})()"
The above will work only if JavaScript is enabled, otherwise add Enable javascript at the beginning and & Delay, 100 & Disable javascript at the end of the above codes.

What to do this with the position:fixed? Olak is wrong. The position:fixed bug no releated to percentage of scroll. I believe my eyes more than the developers. bigsmile
