I expect that it is too late to change > this, however. I think that most users of info will be delighted when <Down> finally does what they expect it to do: *scroll*. (And if they expected it to jump to the next link, they now immediately know that they will have to use a different key for that.) So no, it's not too late to make info do the right thing. The best would be to let scroll-behavior affect also also the down-line and up-line commands, and bind those by default to the arrow keys.
