Description

Hi!

I'm missing one thing: to scroll within PDF previews (and other files) without a mouse.
The arrow keys change to the next file, and pgup/pgdown also skip to another file instead of inside the preview :(
Maybe you could keep the up/down keys for changing the file and left/right for changing the page?

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing keyboard handling for previews and the existing next-file navigation. Check how PDF and other preview types distinguish scrolling from file or page changes. Done means keyboard navigation scrolls within the active preview without unexpectedly switching files, while the intended file navigation remains available.
