Description

Hello and thanks a lot for the wonderful tool!

I mostly use Web UI on hoogle.haskell.org. I like it a lot, but one thing that I'd like to see improved is that it'd be nice to have Page Up / Page Down keys work in the package filter box.

Also, arrow keys work strange: the Down Arrow key works fine for me, but the Up Arrow key moves focus back to the search input. That's on recent Firefox + Ubuntu.

Research direction

Start at the Web UI's package filter box keyboard handling and reproduce the behavior in recent Firefox on Ubuntu. Done means Page Up and Page Down work in the package list, and Up and Down Arrow keys move through it without unexpectedly returning focus to the search input.
