When the focus is in a translation section(editable), pressing up or down arrow will not make the page scroll. Instead the cursor will go up and down and stop and the section boundary(for example - a paragraph)
This is because the every section is individual contenteditables. Special key handling may require to get the focus to the section above or below.

I proposed supporting arrows to move across sections at T109056#1872607.
I think the expected behaviour should be:
"New functionality", because this may require significant coding effort (and it's great if I'm overestimating), and because it is a bit of a departure from the strong focus on isolated paragraphs that we had till now.
Checked in wmf.6 - up-down arrow buttons allow users to scroll moving between (and within) translated paragraphs. User can navigate up and down a page even without translated paragraphs.
