MacOS – PageUp and PageDown keys for Irssi (IRC) in Macbook

command linekeyboardmacbook promacos

I cannot find the keys on my mackbook. I need them to go page-up and page-down in irssi (IRC). I have tested the tips here but they do not work. They model some different Up/Down, not the traditional Up/Down as on larger keyboards.

How can I press PageUp and PageDown buttons with Macbook? Irssi is running behind ssh and GNU Screen with UTF8 support.

Best Answer

fn + shift + Up/Down

IIRC in previous versions of Mac OS X (Lion or perhaps earlier), fn had to come first. But I just tested fn vs. shift first and neither had a different effect.

This may be Terminal.app specific, and may not work in iTerm 2. YMMV
