Location of the down button



Well reading some pdfs today, I found the location of the down button
rather irritating. Usually, when you most often want to go to the next
page your eyes (and for me, my cursor) are at the bottom of the page,
and it is awkward to have to move them to the upper left corner to find
the back button. I often found myself wanting to click the next button on
the find bar instead of the down button. The amount of eye/cursor travel
also gets worse when you have the sidebar enabled, and you have to move
from the bottom right to the top left and then to the start of the page.

I am not really sure what the best way to fix this would be. Continuous
scroll eliminates the problem easily, but doesn't help for single page
view. Xpdf solves it by having the scroll bar switch pages when it gets
to the top or the bottom. This works better, but is not really intuitive
scroll bar behavior. Small up/down buttons at the bottom would help, but
might look ugly or just plain wrong.

Any other ideas or comments?
