You are absolutely right. I use this way of navigating in the preview page, where the cursor is not actually used, unless one uses synctex. Sorry for not reading your post more carefully.

I tried to combine the arrow keys with any of the `special' keys, but I haven't found it. If there's none, one should be able to bind some key to the command, provided that one knows the command (I don't).
