Hi,
I am new to Plan9. This request sounds quite simple/naive. Don't think that
I dislike the Plan9 ways. I enjoy it a lot. But it doesn't mean that it
needs no improvement/fix, right?
OK, here is my suggestion. We shall fix the use of Up/Dn arrows, I mean,
instead of using it to go one page up/dn, use it to move the cursor up/dn
one line. Here are two reasons for this:
1. We use Lf/Rt arrows to move the cursor, don't we? Then use Up/Dn to do
the same kind of task is symmetric, and thus more reasonable.
2. We already have PageUp/PageDown keys which do the task of paging up/dn,
and symmetrically, Home/End to move to the first and last page.
EOT
