I already did that :-)

But Kai suggested to add some convenient bindings to compilation-mode-map
(using single key/letter commands) and I suggested this as a quick -
and to me useful - toggle.

Anyway, I don't understand the following response from Richard:

SPC and DEL (127) are already bound to scroll-up and scroll-down
in compilation-mode-map, so *that* won't work now!
By *that* I mean "editing input to send to the compiler" - but what
does that have to do with compilation-mode-map ?

    * view-mode like bindings (SPC, DEL for scrolling, possibly keys for
      scrolling by lines)

I can see why you would want this, but it won't work.
SPC and DEL need to have their ordinary editing meanings
for editing input to send to the compiler.  For the same reason,
letters like t and m cannot be given other definitions.

I can see why you would want this, but it won't work.
SPC and DEL need to have their ordinary editing meanings
for editing input to send to the compiler.  For the same reason,
letters like t and m cannot be given other definitions.
