These keys are the ones which you use as arrow keys on
certain (older) terminals (ADM?). On newer terminals you use

PS. Also the CTRL sequences are mnemonic: ^B=Back one page, ^F=Forward
one page, ^D=Scroll down, ^U=Scroll up, ^E=Expose one more line,
^N=Next line (EMACS!), ^P=Previous line (EMACS!) and so on. Are there
any more "easy ones" to pick?
