        what i meant is a dedicated key that when pressed will trigger a page-up/page-down event. on the mac you have to press a modifier key to make it go. most of the time this is ok (and i don't really mind it whilst in emacs ctrl-v/meta-v are basically the same thing) except that you can press ctrl-pageup/down on firefox to toggle the tabs. on the mac you have to press ctrl-mod-pageup/down ... same goes for gnome-terminal. i don't feel like turning my fingers into a pretzel for no good reason.

  Yeah, not having home/end, pgup/dn, is a huge pain in the butt. I never realized how much I used them for navigating within textboxes. Especially in combination with shift and control. In general expect to spend a good amount of time reacclimatizing on keybindings when going from PC to mac worlds. I find myself constantly guessing what modifier (shift, fn, cmd, ctrl, alt) to replace in this keybinding to get it to work.
