The Page Up and Page Down keys among other keys

The Page Up and Page Down keys (sometimes abbreviated as PgUp and PgDn) are two keys commonly found on computer keyboards.

The two keys are primarily used to scroll up or down in documents, but the scrolling distance varies between different applications. In word processors, for instance, they may jump by an emulated physical page or by a screen view that may show only part of one page or many pages at once depending on zoom factor. In cases when the document is shorter than one screenful, Page Up and Page Down often have no visible effect at all.

Operating systems differ as to whether the keys (pressed without modifier) just move the view – e.g. in Mac OS X – or also the input caret – e.g. in Microsoft Windows. In right-to-left settings, PgUp will move either upwards or rightwards (instead of left) and PgDn will move down or leftwards (instead of right). The keys have been dubbed previous page and next page, accordingly.

The arrow keys and the scroll wheel can also be used to scroll a document, although usually by smaller incremental distances. Used together with a modifier key, such as Alt, ⌥ Opt, ^Ctrl or a combination thereof, they may act the same as the Page keys.

In most operating systems, if the Page Up or Page Down key is pressed along with the ⇧ Shift key in editable text, all the text scrolled over will be highlighted.

In some applications, the Page Up and Page Down keys behave differently in caret navigation (toggled with the F7 function key in Windows). For a claimed 30% of people[according to whom?], the paging keys move the text in the opposite direction to what they find natural,[1] and software may contain settings to reverse the operation of these keys to accommodate that.

In August 2008, Microsoft received the patent #7,415,666 for the functions of the two keys – Page Up & Page Down.[2][3] Microsoft office standard mac.

The wireless keyboard for my iMac omits many common keys found on full size keyboards.
One application I am running (Battlefield 2142) requires the use of 'page up' and 'page down' among others.
By random effort, in happens that 'Control' + 'up arrow' worked for 'page up'.
Does anyone know where I can find a resource showing these built-in key board sequences.
In System Preferences there are the keyboard short cuts that can be configured, but many are missing. The control 'up arrow' was not listed here for 'Page Up:, nor are others like 'Home', 'End'.
My assumption is that these are not officially considered keyboard short cuts.
Any help, appreciated.
