Sorry, I misunderstood your comment. Having read it more carefully, I
agree with you. (My NetSurf ButtonBar already has the same PageUp/Down.)

I don't know about Keystroke but that's not true for Buttonbar. If a
keypress is understood by an application but not in its menu, it still
works. Just tested it with PageUp/Down for NetSurf and they work but are
not in the menu structure.

My mistake I downloaded #812 but ran #789 inadvertently.

A menu option would be needed for ButtonBar, or Keystroke, to work.

Why? I'm currently on #809, downloaded this morning by the invaluable 
Fetch_NS.

A wee handy-feature suggestion (if it's not a lot of programming 
effort):
A "Javascript on/off button" on the toolbar.

Basically a handy shortcut to the iconbar "Choices > Content > Disable 
Javascript" tickbox.  It would be good to have the on/off handier, 
because the user needs it on a "per site" basis rather than "per 
application".  (In days of yore, Fresco had such a button, for that 
reason.)

The presence of such a button would also make it visually obvious to 
the user that a Javascript-enabled version of Netsurf is in use.  At 
present the existence of Javascript is seen only several layers down 
in Choices.

Using build 797 at the moment, on both RiscPC 4.39 and Iyonix 5.18.
