?    (Do consider that one must repeatedly hit ESC between "v" strokes
?    to page up, but not to C-v down through a file.)

? Remember that the separate-key ESC prefix is a crutch to help poor
? folks without a real META key.  So-equipped, a terminal or workstation
? keyboard renders both these operations (scroll-up and scroll-down)
? into single-keystroke operations, the only difference being which
? other key you hold down while you press "v".

Good point about the meta-key, but ^V is still a bit of a reach, even
for a guitar player. I swap the bindings of ^A and ^V, and bind ^Z to
scroll-down for a bit of an easier reach. Suspend is on ^X^Z anyway.
