I am using MacOSX Snow Leopard.

How do I achieve page-up and page-down?

If you have a full keyboard you can use the pgup and pgdown keys on your keyboard, near the numpad.

If you are not using a full keyboard, function, labeled fn on your keyboard, plus the up and down arrow keys will give you a page up and down.

-1 actually FN+Up/Down is not the same as FN+PageUp/PageDown. For example, the traditional PageUp/PageDown does not work in irssi. – hhh Mar 19 at 8:53

It's ⌥ + Up/Down arrow keys.

@hobs not sure, but I'm actually on Lion, works either way for me, with fn and ⌥ – Artem Pakk Oct 8 '11 at 21:00
Same here, Macbook 13 inch running 10.7, I will look into it. – hobs Oct 9 '11 at 13:03

On OS X 10.6.8 I get about a 3-line scroll w/ opt+arrow versus actual PgUp PgDn behavior with the fn+arrow. – sholsinger Oct 13 '11 at 18:57

On my (Danish) keyboard layout (under 10.7.5) it is [fn] + [left shift] + [up]/[down].

I have an US English keyboard and this is what works for me under terminal if I'm SSHed. – Tyler Collier May 11 at 4:55
