Ask YC: Any of you use Dvorak?
"The keys either have English mnemonics (C-b/C-f = back/forward), or are completely arbitrary (C-v = page-down)."
Bad example for a completely arbitrary key... v looks like a down arrow. Hence, page down.

The funny thing is that I always thought (just like you) that C-v was an arbitrarily assigned key before you mentionned it. I guess we could call this "contradiction intuition" or something.
Consider applying for YC's Spring batch! Applications are open till Feb 11.
