Doesn't "Forward in Document" and "Back in Document" have this
behavior in facing pages mode?? I configured mine toshortcuts and it
works perfectly for me ( same behavior as Page up and Page Down, as
well as up and down arrows).

IMHO, we should not remap NextPage and PrevPage to have the ability to
move the viewport up and down to the next set of pages. This action
would do just as bad of a job at describing what is actually
happening. Forward in Document/Back in Document is much better at
explaining this behavior.
