Right now screen navigation only functions via j and k for down and up respectively. Adding more movement options might be a good call. I have noticed it feeling annoying to go line by line on longer pages.

The proposed solution is to add hot keys for J and K (the uppercase being a reasonable mnemonic for a bigger up or down). Rather than full page up or page down I am thinking half or three quarters makes good sense. That way you can still have a sense of where you were in a page.

The other thought I have is to do d and u, similar to vim's ctl-d and ctl-u. Not sure which way would be best to go.

Page up is done with u and page down is done with d. This is close to in line with Vim's ctl-u and ctl-d.

Having tried a few distances, the only one that felt comfortable was a full page up/down. 3/4 did not have a good feel and felt unpredictable. As a result a full page was used. This is an easily modifiable thing if it needs to be revisited later.
