BTW, should we bind S-SPC in some read-only modes to the same command
as is bound to DEL? In most browsers S-SPC is a synonym of DEL which
scrolls the page backwards, and possibly users might expect it to work
the same as in Emacs, particularly in Info and view-mode. What I propose
is at least to add two following bindings:
(define-key Info-mode-map [?\S- ] 'Info-scroll-down)
(define-key view-mode-map [?\S- ] 'View-scroll-page-backward)
to info.el and view.el. Currently S-SPC is translated to SPC in these modes
which is useless.
