(function () {
  document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
    var t = e.target;
    if (t && (t.tagName === 'INPUT' || t.tagName === 'TEXTAREA' ||
        t.isContentEditable)) { return; }
    if (e.key === 'j') {
      window.scrollBy({ top: 400, behavior: 'smooth' });
    } else if (e.key === 'k') {
      window.scrollBy({ top: -400, behavior: 'smooth' });
    }
  });
})();
