So looking at the documentation from old versions, it looks like
it was intended to be 'scroll-backward-page-only'
<PREVIOUS> (arrow key) (`scroll-backward-page-only')
<PRIOR> (arrow key)
`M-v'
`b', vi-like operation
`C-b', vi-like operation
Shift the text in this window down. The inverse of
`scroll-forward-page-only'. Does not scroll beyond the start of
the current node. The default scroll size can be changed by
invoking the(`scroll-backward-page-only-set-window') command, `w'
under `--vi-keys', with a numeric argument.
I will change it accordingly.
