I find it very convenient to have operations that I need often close to the home row on the keyboard. As scrolling through a document with the keyboard is the one thing I do most
frequently in okular (and pdf viewers in general), I'd like to be able to rebind the actions of PageUp/PageDown to e.g. h and l.

The related existing actions that can be bound to custom keys via Settings -> Configure Shortcuts.., all do something slightly different:

"Forward/Back in document" only move by one line.
"Scroll down/up" start some automated scrolling movement.
"Next/Previous page" always skip to the next/previous page, whereas PageUp/PageDown jump to the next/previous non-visible portion of the document, even if it is on the same page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Settings -> Configure Shortcuts.
2. Notice that there is no action corresponding to PageUp/PageDown.



I'm not sure if this is also the case for some other default keybindings, but if so, I guess they should also be rebindable; I haven't noticed anything else that I'd want to remap though.
