Press 'K' for 'keys'

Just about the middle of the screen....

In addition... in my tests just completed...
Shift+End is more than 3 times the speed of the RightArrow key

RightArrow == 39sec
Shift+End  == 12sec

And if you would like to 'jump' instantaneously to the right.

Place you cursor anywhere along the length of the 'empty space' to the
right of the scrollbar along the bottom and press the enter key or the
left mouse button. (same to 'jump' to the left... click or press the
enter key anywhere to the left of the scrollbar)

To scroll let's say 25% to the right ... Press and hold the left mouse
button on the bottom scrollbar and 'drag' it 25% across before releasing.
