Bug Description

Dear Developers,

If Evince 3.10.3 version the caret navigation support is enabled (require this if a visually impaired user want reading a PDF file with screen reader support), CTRL+HOME, CTRL+END, CTRL+SHIFT+HOME, CTRL+SHIFT+END, PAGEUP, PAGEDOWN keys doesn't doing proper cursor movement operation.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch evince, and opening a PDF file.
2. Press F7 key to enable caret navigation support, the popup dialog click enable button.
After this, normal arrow keys doing proper cursor movement operations, SHIFT+ARROW keys doing normal selection operations, CTRL+SHIFT+ARROW keys selecting the proper direction of the text (word, paragraph).
3. Try pressing CTRL+HOME, CTRL+END, CTRL+SHIFT+HOME, CTRL+SHIFT+END, PAGEUP, PAGEDOWN keystrokes.
Expected result if caret navigation support enabled: happening the proper cursor movement operation. CTRL+HOME jumps top of the document, CTRL+END jumps end of the document, pageup switch I think one page back, PAGEDOWN switch next page. CTRL+SHIFT+HOME need selecting from actual cursor position to top of the document, CTRL+SHIFT+END need selecting from cursor position to the end of the document.
Actual result: this keystrokes nothing doing.

If PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN related not possible goto the next or previous page, enough to large parts scrolling the caret.
