Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evince
The keyboard navigation in evince is very counterintuitive.
When you press uparrow and downarrow, evince moves by one page. When
you press page down and page up, evince scrolls down/up the current page
(or jumps to the top of the next/previous page).
I propose instead the following behavior:
When you press page up and page down, evince jumps to the top of the
next/previous page.
When you press uparrow and downarrow, evince scrolls a little (a lot less than
page up and page down currently).
Also, note that when you cross a page boundary from cur to prev with a
small movement (i.e. the arrow keys in my suggestion, or page up and
page down as it is currently), it's more sensible to put the user near
the bottom of the newly entered page, not the top---i.e. next to where
they came from instead of far away.
Here's the output of some commands (the localhost repository is apt-
cacher-ng)
