What I was trying to say is that simple-scan needs those keyboard shortcuts on the right, like what you have done with the rotate items.

My main reason for having a border is when the page is zoomed in, it just looks strange not to have a border there (see screenshot) I don't know whether you agree. About the multiple pages thing, if there are more page than is currently being viewed, I would have two arrows either side of the side of the DrawingArea, facing outwards. If there is space on the respective arrow's side, then I think it should become sensitive and then if the user clicked this, it would then scroll towards this direction.

Maybe make them a toolbar? And then have the ability to have that hidden from the view menu?
