Page Up / Page Down are effectively a jump tool for the cursor position. When I'm in Safari I hit Page Up / Down in order to scroll the viewport, then can switch to the arrow keys for fine tuning the view. Even when doing this the behavior is different: Windows and Ubuntu keep the cursor position in the same place relative to the window as you scroll down Mac places the cursor in the middle of the screen. The way to move the cursor and the screen view on a Mac one screen at a time is to use Option-Page Down / Option-Page Up. The Mac Page Down / Page Up keys (fn-Down Arrow / fn-Up Arrow on a MacBook) only move the screen view, not the cursor. This is different than the behavior on a Mac. If however you are in an editable surface (like a text editor) and hit Page Down/Page Up it moves the screen and the cursor. On the Windows and Ubuntu based systems I have handy the Page Up and Page Down key perform the following action: Page Down/Page Up in a non-editing viewport (web browser, help system, etc) and the viewing window scrolls Down or Up by a screen.
In spite of all this attention there was one key stroke combination group that I missed and it didn't get to me until very recently: the behavior of the Page Up and Page Down keys. Windows to Mac keystroke mapping - a quick guide Mac: Have you tried using the Option key? In the past I've written that among the more difficult things I encountered in the switch was the behavior of the keyboard: It has been nearly a year since I switched from Windows to Mac.
