"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.




Ah, you must be one of those visual-learner types!


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.
