 The "fn" and arrow keys are on opposite sides of the keyboard.  While
 normally a good thing, if you have one hand occupied, you can't press "pg
 dn" and friends.  Making it harder to work with one hand.

 If the "alt gr" plus arrow key combinations are not otherwise used,
 perhaps they could be made equivalent to "fn" plus arrow keys.  Then you
 could pg dn with one hand.

 Counter arguments:
 -The motivating use case was an adult carrying the laptop with one hand,
 and typing in Write with the other.  I'm unclear on whether there is a use
 case for kids.
 -Perhaps game key scrolling could be used instead?
 -Arrow autorepeats, so you can just use that instead.  Having now
 discovered this, I'm tempted to scrap the ticket.  But not quite.
