When composing a mail on Windows, shift+Pagedown will select a pageful of text. There appears to be no equivalent keystroke combo on OS X. I'm not sure if this is  due to compatibility with Apple's Interface guidelines, but it is sure a pain for keyboard only users. The closest thing is Option+ downarrow, which selects all text to the bottom of the mail, including signature. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Reply to a mail
2. in main message window, press shift + PageDown


Actual Results:  

nothing

Expected Results:  

a pageful of text should be selected, and the focus jump down a page.

I think so - it's not supposed to fixed.

OTOH, this is just WFM for me with current SM/TB trunk on a PowerBook under 10.4.11 with full keyboard access enabled: Shift-Fn-Arrow does PageDown with Select...
