GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 624857
shift+spacebar should scroll back, like in epiphany and friends.

spacebar over an open mail makes the scrollbar of the mail-preview-pane jump. however, shift+spacebar doesn't jump-back, it jumps-forward just like regular space. In webkitgtk/epiphany we make shift+spacebar jump back, and spacebar jump fwd. IMHO it's predictable to try shift as a modifier to the spacebar action, hence, this fits naturally. And in any case, I just think it's a good idea :).
