Currently, in git 7ee07af0, Backspace is supposed to act as PageUp in both the help viewer and the file browser. However, this is not actually the case in all terminals.

No problem.
You have a point on Backspace. However, as for hypothetical problems' not being problems... in terms of design, they most certainly can be. But this isn't the place to discuss that further.
