Might be personal preference whether page like spacebar, or arrow keys,
or I've liked full page when using as a previewer.  The way to do it
could be described somewhere.

I experimented with that a bit.  I like the following .Xresources if
these might go the right place in the base translations.  With the wheel
otherwise unused it shouldn't upset anything.

GV*newtoc.translations: #augment                \n\
<Btn4Down>:             GV_Page(page-1)         \n\
<Btn5Down>:             GV_Page(page+1)

GV*newtocFrame.translations: #augment           \n\
<Btn4Down>:             GV_Page(page-1)         \n\
<Btn5Down>:             GV_Page(page+1)

I wouldn't mind if the toc scrollbar had some mouse wheel too - just
moving the widget the same as pressing the arrow buttons I'd think.
Is that scrollbar from xaw?  I couldn't tell how to persuade it.  Newer
xaw doesn't seem to have mouse wheel by default either, but perhaps it's
left to the application since you might not want when horizontal.
