interesting that i just saw a bug closed on this same behavior, perhaps as a
result of this discussion (or not)...

    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234177

as the bug fix describes, the PageUp / PageDown keys work appropriately, as
do the ArrowUp / ArrowDown keys.  however, as i ask in my previous reply,
what actions are these keys bound to?  since there is a nice, easy facility
for shortcut examination & (re-)mapping, it seems as if the user should be
able to view & modify the shortcuts for this behavior.

the original bug report's account was not dissimilar to mine, where the user
remapped certain keys to what seemed like the logical actions --- Next Page
/ Previous Page --- but the behavior was inconsistent from what he expected
in Facing Pages mode.  i don't recall any other similar actions listed in
the shortcut dialog.
