I am not sure about what you're asking for or commenting on. Please always state clear description of the problem or issue, explicit steps to reproduce, expected results, actual results, an URL if possible and/or a reduced testcase if suitable. Bug writing guidelines: http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html Empirical discoveries in Windows XP: Home/End will navigate to beginning/end of an element, inside an element. Ctrl+Home/Ctrl+End will navigate to beginning/end of the editable section of a document currently in Composer.
Help/Help Contents/Contents tab/Mozilla Keyboard Shortcuts/General Mozilla Shortcuts gives (for Windows): Go Up One Page: Page Up Go Down One Page: Page Down Go Up One Line: Up Arrow Go Down One Line: Down Arrow (...) Move to beginning of line (in a text editing field): Home Move to end of line (in a text editing field): End and these general Mozilla shortcuts apply to Composer. Ctrl+End will move caret to the end of document in Composer. Rolling the mousewheel also navigate up/down in the document in Composer. I'm resolving this bug as INVALID because, as I understood your bugfile description, there are keyboard hotkeys to navigate up/down in the document while in Composer.

The first part of the message was cut off. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041101 Problem: There is no way to page up/down in Composer without moving the cursor. Sometimes I have text selected at the top of the page then want to have a look at something at the bottom of the page. The only way to do so using the keyboard results in losing the "selection-ness" at the top of the page as the cursor moves around. I could scroll down with the mouse but I try to avoid using it. Netscape 4.8 uses CTRL+PAGE UP/DOWN to move the page but not the cursor. I guess that this is a request, not a bug.
