[Wishlist] Scroll Lock state in keybinding context

#1

Since scroll-lock is not really used by anything anywhere and is still present on most keyboards, having it available as a boolean state in context for keybindings could be useful.

An obvious use for this would be turning the keyboard arrow keys into scroll keys (like ctrl+arrow typically does already), but it allows for a sort of second layer of keybindings.

I don’t really know where I would use this right now, but I’m sure I’ll find some silly thing to do with it.

Are not they removing this Scroll Lock key on the new keyboards? Then create new things would not be worth. Also, I would not like this kind of context switch. I already got scrolled by the Num Lock key several times. Perhaps a new modifier key would be welcome.
