Integrate easing on mouse wheel with arrows

Question

I use this script to "fix" the problem of IE and Chrome not having a continous smooth scroll when using mouse wheel:

if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', wheel, false);
window.onmousewheel = document.onmousewheel = wheel;

function wheel(event) {
    var delta = 0;
    if (event.wheelDelta) delta = event.wheelDelta / 120;
    else if (event.detail) delta = -event.detail / 3;

    handle(delta);
    if (event.preventDefault) event.preventDefault();
    event.returnValue = false;
}

function handle(delta) {
    var time = 1000;
    var distance = 260;

    $('html, body').stop().animate({
        scrollTop: $(window).scrollTop() - (distance * delta)
    }, time );
}

(JSFIDDLE)

What I'd like to have is integrate also the arrow keys in this. How do I rewrite this script adding the eventListener of arrow keys "scrolling" and applying the easing?

You just have to play with the keydown event and the animation of the scroll. Note that now the variables time and distance are globals:

if (window.addEventListener) window.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', wheel, false);
window.onmousewheel = document.onmousewheel = wheel;

var time = 1000;
var distance = 300;

function wheel(event) {
    if (event.wheelDelta) delta = event.wheelDelta / 120;
    else if (event.detail) delta = -event.detail / 3;

    handle();
    if (event.preventDefault) event.preventDefault();
    event.returnValue = false;
}

function handle() {

    $('html, body').stop().animate({
        scrollTop: $(window).scrollTop() - (distance * delta)
    }, time);
}


$(document).keydown(function (e) {

    switch (e.which) {
        //up
        case 38:
            $('html, body').stop().animate({
                scrollTop: $(window).scrollTop() - distance
            }, time);
            break;

            //down
        case 40:
            $('html, body').stop().animate({
                scrollTop: $(window).scrollTop() + distance
            }, time);
            break;
    }
});
