Do you refer to the browser?
Only using J or K might interfere with type-ahead search functionality.
Which browser do you use?

No. I'm not refering to the browser. I'm proposing a new function for the Mediawiki software.

As far as I know, the MediaWiki software is run on a server which is accessed by a browser (or by other tools accessing its API, like RSS readers). Still you end up with some software and a device that you need to access the Mediawiki software.

Please elaborate and provide steps (step by step) to reproduce the situation in which you would expect such a shortcut, so others could follow your steps.

I mean if you press the "j" key, the browsing area goes to the next section. if you press the "k" key, the browsing area goes to the previous section.

As I wrote before such a proposal would for example collide with type-ahead search in Firefox.
