Add option to disable reader-based key scrolling

Hi there,

I currently use an extension that modifies how my browser handles scrolling via keys and I was hoping you could add an option to disable scrolling on the reader itself, as it "stacks" with my current extension that provides a smooth key scroll.

Thanks.

Do you have the Keyboard scrolling method setting set to Browser native? If yes, I don't really know what to tell you because the arrow keys up/down should just behave completely normally.

I should have mentioned that it only seems to interfere when I'm using the "wasd" layout.

So when I press s or w the screen first jumps a bit (what I assume is related to the site's keyboard scrolling) and then resumes the expected smooth scrolling behaviour based on the Smooth Key Scroll extension.

Everything works fine if I use the up and down arrows (there's no jump) but I have bad RSI in my right wrist so I prefer to use the wasd layout.

Thanks for the response.

Obviously wasd doesn't natively scroll the screen at all, so I had to implement scrolling for those keys regadless of the setting so that they would work. It kinda stings to have to make yet another option, especially because of some extension, but I guess I'll do something about it for the next update.
