I also want to move the cursor anywhere on the screen while also
wanting some context around search hits. I have this mapping and
function in my vimrc which enables 'scrolloff' briefly at the end
of n and N commands.

nnoremap <silent> n :call ScrolloffCmd('nzv')<cr>
nnoremap <silent> N :call ScrolloffCmd('Nzv')<cr>
function! ScrolloffCmd(cmd)
try
exe 'normal!' a:cmd
catch
echohl ErrorMsg
echomsg matchstr(v:exception, ':\zs.*')
echohl NONE
endtry
let l:scrolloff = &scrolloff
set scrolloff=2
redraw
let &scrolloff = l:scrolloff
endfunction

I've done similar corrections for tag jumps and quickfix jumps.
That doesn't cover every case where it would be nice to have context
following a jump, but it covers the most annoying ones.

Gary
