Terminal Page Down and Page Up For Laptop without PgDn and PgUp Keys

Question

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

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.

Well, there is an answer there, and the answer is that it's not possible. — wjandrea, Oct 11 '16 at 01:51
Cygwin is not Linux. While this feature is generally possible to have, it looks not be implemented in any terminal emulator in Linux (for whatever reasons). — David Foerster, Oct 11 '16 at 07:11

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")

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