Details

it would be very comfortable to be able to scroll the browser window
with 'j/k', ala less or vim.

pageup/down with 'space' (alaready there) and 'backspace' (to be implemented ;)
would be nice, too...
but thats not really import, if one would like backspace to go back, etc...

that would make it possible to use mozilla without moving my hand ;)

perhaps it should be possible to configure keyboard bindings
thanks :)
sorry, we have enough issues with keyboard navigation not to make "j" scroll
too...and it might confuse users if they think focus is in a text field, and
start to type, only to have the page jump as soon as they type "k"

what about making key bindings configurable?
is that already possible (perhaps only through conf-file)

then i could update this myself
