Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
I'd like the element I've highlighted to stay highlighted when I page-up/down. IDA muscle memory is hard to retrain.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Perhaps not widespread, but I'm constantly paging up/down via keyboard when looking at a large function. When I've highlighted a variable of interest, it gets deselected when I use page-up/page-down keys.
Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
I can use the scrollbar / scroll wheel / touchpad to scroll without moving the cursor, but that requires that I take my hands off the keyboard.

No file or test is named. Start by locating the keyboard handling for Page Up/Page Down and the selection state in Binary Ninja, then reproduce the issue in a large function with a highlighted variable. Done means paging changes the viewport without clearing the highlighted selection.
