I know it's a little late in the game to complain, and I'm sorry, but is 
shift modifier really the best choice? Mozilla uses shift+wheel keys to 
scroll the page by the smallest possible margin and we use shift+arrow 
keys for automatic scrolling already. It would seem to me like the 
shift key is always associated with some type of scrolling behavior. 
Couldn't we use a different modifier? Like alt ?
