emacs -Q C-h r C-s pageup C-s C-s... Nodes Notation Used ---- ------------- Moving Point, Completion Commands `<PageUp>' Minibuffer Edit `M-<PAGEUP>' Scrolling `<PAGEUP>', <PageUp> (both) Insert in Picture `C-c <PAGEUP>' Key Index PAGEUP Likewise, for pagedown. These two key names should be mentioned only once, as synonyms for `<next>' and `<prior>', which are preferable because the Emacs-Lisp symbols used for these function keys are `next' and `prior'. In any case, we should not use one term (e.g. `<next>') in some places and in other places use another term (e.g. `<PAGEDOWN>'). That is confusing and impedes learning. Also, sometimes we write `<prior>', sometimes (e.g. nodes `Scrolling', `Completion Commands') we write `<PRIOR>'. We should be consistent. We should always use `<prior>', both for readability and to reflect the Emacs-Lisp function-key symbol, which aids learning. Also, in node `Moving Point', `M-v' is written also as <M-v>. This is non-standard, AFAIK.
