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.
