Terminal Page Down and Page Up For Laptop without PgDn and PgUp Keys [duplicate]

  • 772

I understand Terminal by default doesn't support PgDn and PgUp but is there an alternative to the linux terminal that supports this?

Cygwin has an option to enable this so I would assume linux does also.

EDIT:I have changed the location of my page down and page up on my keyboard and this appears to not work there. I do not have page down and page up keys on my keyboard.

  1. If you are running a terminal within Xwindows Place the mouse pointer over the window and you can use the scroll button to navigate. Otherwise your stuck with piping your output through more or less With more you can get a screen full at a time but there is no going back. With less you can cursor up and down which may be helpful to you. (Hence the phrase "less is more")

  2. gnome-terminal supports scrolling using Shift+PgUp and Shift+PgDn instead of PgUp and PgDn.
