I didn't miss it. Really.

Correct handling of Shift+Ctrl+PgDown helps here, but > not all functionality works if I need to keep some key pressed all the time. Never found this a problem. Probably I'm too minimalistic. Far Manager solves this by allowing all normal navigations while keeping Shift or Alt pressed. Editor is probably like a shoe or coat, everyone has something else which fits perfectly.
