  24 ;;; Commentary:
  25 ;;    This mode allows multiple buffers to be 'locked' so that scrolling
  26 ;;    up or down lines in any buffer causes all the buffers to mirror
  27 ;;    the scrolling.  It hooks into the post-command-hook to check for
  28 ;;    potential scrolling commands and if we're locked, mirrors them in all
  29 ;;    windows.  This allows us to grab line-at-a-time scrolling as well as
  30 ;;    screen-at-a-time scrolling, and doesn't remap any of the keyboard
  31 ;;    commands to do it.
  32
  33 ;; You can enable and disable this mode with the 'scroll-all-mode' command.
