Comment(by pgf):

 this ticket was starting to confuse me, so i just looked at and tried Read
 to see how it works.

 Read already has some key actions that it performs regardless of focus --
 it will zoom in or out if you use the "check" or "square" gamepad keys.
 the latter actions (presumably -- i'm no python expert) happen because the
 KP_Home and KP_End keynames are handled in
 ReadActivity._key_press_event_cb(), and cause zoom_in/_out() routines to
 be called.

 it seems to me that the d-pad keys could be similarly bound in a focus
 independent way by having the same routine look for KP_Up, KP_Down,
 KP_Left, and KP_Right.  this will catch just the d-pad keys, and not the
 "regular" arrow keys, and of course they should somehow be bound to
 scrolling operations.

 my assumption is that there is no reason that the d-pad keys should ever
 be used for field or tab selection -- i.e., the regular arrow keys would
 probably be used for that.  so it's okay for the d-pad keys to always
 scroll, no matter what the focus, and, more importantly for this ticket,
 no matter whether the laptop is in ebook mode or not.

 (disclaimer: i'm looking at the code for Read-86)
