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.

OK, here is my suggestion. We shall fix the use of Up/D= n 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 us= e 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 pag= ing up/dn, and symmetrically, Home/End to move to the first and last page.<= /div>
