I've grown quite weary of shift-pgup to page up in gnome terminal, the command line, terminator, and guake, etc.
Any way to easily make these apps use the straight page-up and page-down keys for paging around?
I am afraid this is not possible, as no PgUp/PgDown will be sent to command-line applications, which will render some of them unusable. This is a good old days Unix feature.
If you want more user-friendly scrolling, I suggest using the less command. It's used this way:
command-with-lot-of-output | less
This will start the less command with output of your original command. (*More about piping output to other programs can be found here.
less can be navigated using arrows or PgUp/PgDown. For your convenience it also provides searching and more (see man less for more). You can quit less by pressing the q key.
