Ah sorry, I understand what you mean.

What is happening is that PageUp/PageDown keys are always sent to the program running \
in the shell.  This means that they work as expected in Vi,man etc.

In order to scroll the output up and down, a separate key combination is used which \
is interpreted by Konsole (which then scrolls the output) instead of being sent to \
the terminal.

One possibility might be to treat PageUp/PageDown as "Shift+PageUp / Shift+PageDown" \
when the output is scrollable or just send it to the application if the output is not \
scrollable (eg.  in Vi,man,less where the scrollbar becomes unmoveable and the \
program itself handles the PageUp/PageDown keys).  

I'm concerned that this might cause problems in some terminal applications though.
