It looks very good.

I've chacked your patch and I think you can do without 1) nor 2).

  You can scroll with Cmd Modifier + scroll keys (the Linux behavior). 
  AND you can use the behavior of FreeBSD : You need to press HoldScreen, 
  then use scroll keys to scroll up / down.

...please feel free to ignore this mail because I remember the war about
key bindings and I know that your idea is more flexible than mine.
But it's just that I'd like to have simple one.
