PageUp/PageDown in a text field

The PageUp/PageDown keys should move the cursor up/down by a bunch of lines. Currently, they don't do any thing at all.

To reproduce

Run any app with a multiline text field, such as the one below.
Focus the field and enter a couple of lines of text.
Press PageUp.

Expected: The cursor jumps up by one page, or to the top.
Actual: Nothing happens.

Vice versa for PageDown.

Code

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: const MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyHomePage({Key? key, required this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(title),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            TextField(minLines: 4, maxLines: 4),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Related: It also looks like our scrollables don't properly respond to pageup/down either: #93521

I can reproduce the issue on stable and the master channel. Pressing page up/down (fn/ctrl + Arrow keys on mac/windows) does not move the cursor as it happens in other native desktop apps.
