Indeed, creating a file is of little use in a file viewer, and is [p]age up old enough?

I don't, the question is how you justify that in the search for consistency? I don't get the C-j, the issue with consistency is J/K, why do digraphs matter, are they more important than basic navigation?

I'm not sure the first programs could handle more than one, and (neo)vi(m) just uses :e, for edit. New or existing is irrelevant, it's not Microsoft Word.

Is this a real thing? I only know of [f]orward/[b]ack and [d]own/[u]p.

Don't put words in my mouth, but sure in insert mode you're not supposed to navigate, but this discussion is getting off-topic.
