i don't believe you've counted correctly:
JP wanted the above syntax, KD PW were strongly opposed
& i didn't see any other comments on syntax (KW discussed something else).

I (emphatic) recommended a different change after testing things,
ie  3p+  (etc), which says `3 pages further-down' (intuitively)
& falls under the fingers better: the first  2  strokes are reached
from the standard touch-typing position, then you have to reeeaaach
for the `+' key (while shifting); your (old/new) way, you have to reeeaaach
in the middle of things, then reset your fingers in standard position.

please review the votes cast so far: anyone else have preferences?
