Good stuff! (I was also thinking of making this myself)

I added a pull request to the extension here:
https://github.com/tanwald/gnome-shell-extension-arrow-key-window-selector/pull/5

But thought I'd also float the idea here: using pageUp/pageDown for
workspace navigation in the overview mode. It seems like a very
natural feature to me, any reasons against it?

Cheers,
 - Tim.
