Description
The data view didn't seem to respond to arrow keys or page up/page down. This makes traversing very large data sets extremely difficult. Adding support for keyboard navigation to the data views would make analysis of large unknown/mixed-data binaries much easier. Something like Up/Down shifting by 256 bits at a time and page up/page down shifting by a scrollbar notch each time?

Research direction
Start by locating the data-view implementation and its existing scrolling or input handling. Check how arrow keys and Page Up/Page Down are currently processed, then define the navigation increments and scrollbar behavior described in the issue. Done means the data views respond consistently to those keys when traversing large binary datasets.
