[Feature] Add keyboard shortcuts for next _slide_ / previous _slide_

The current shortcuts (left) and (right) only switch to the next or previous Step, which can be e.g. a text fading in.

Description

When there are a lot of steps in slides, navigating the deck can be quite slow.

Proposal

Add a pair of keyboard shortcuts for switching to the next or previous slide. I would suggest to pick one among:

  • A1. Arrow Up (back) and Arrow Down (next)
  • A2. PageUp (back) and PageDown (next)

Further ideas

  • B. While we are at it, we might want to add shortcuts to go to the first or last slide of the deck. I would suggest to use the keys "Home" and "End".
  • C. Further, I find the navigation dots are quite small. I believe it would make navigation easier if all of the navigation bar was clickable, and not just each small dot: Each click would be mapped to the closest dot.
