If someone can bind this to a key that would be FANTASTIC! It would just need to find the current location, and then add or subtract a few to that number, and then finally go to this new location to go up and down lines. If no one will I might have to see if I can do it, but I have no Kindle hacking experience as of now.
The Kindle keyboard is indeed underutilized. I want hot keys not just to scroll up/down but to (as another example) navigate directly to pages with bookmarks, highlights, notes, hyperlinks, and then navigate directly to highlights/notes/hyperlinks. Sadly this will never happen, and while touch screens and multitouch 'gestures' are a nice try, they can't approach the efficiency and mind melding possibilities of hotkeys.
