Extend API to Support PageUp/PageDown Button Press #10

Open vishaldialpad opened 4 months ago

We successfully utilized the current API to control Slides, achieving a working MVP. However, it would be highly beneficial if the API could be extended to also support passing PageUp/PageDown button presses. This enhancement would improve functionality and usability in our application.

While this would be useful for several use cases, it has been decided that keystrokes are beyond the scope of this API since it would raise serious privacy issues.

Passing the keystroke of PageUp is indeed out of scope. But it might be possible to skip that and tell the captured tab to "scroll the viewport upwards by a fixed amount" or something similar that maps not to the key, but to the concept of scrolling "the main target" or something similar.
