Still, key presses that do that would be good. I tried now all of the 
combinations (arrows or pgDown with modifier keys) I could think of and 
none of those brought the cursor outside the session. I remember finding 
that I could not move the cursor as I wanted with the keyboard in 
another case---I have to check, it is perhaps the "Menu" markup of the 
"Notes" style.

These are of course small things but on the other hand helpful when they 
are there; perhaps the concept of "uniform control of cursor movement" 
helps users to edit their documents---as one can go outside a display 
math environment with right and left arrow and it seems "helpful"  (to 
me) if this were valid for all environments.

Besides, it is possible to enter a Scheme session with "left arrow" when 
coming from the right, but not to exit it towards the right (right 
arrow), while (with left/right arrows) it is possible to exit towards 
the left, but it is not possible to enter coming from the left. And it 
is possible to exit with down arrow if there is some text afterwards, 
but not possible if there is no text (still falls under the concept of 
"uniformity" IMO).
