Control the scroll of the pages you are viewing with a keyboard combination in OS X

Up-down-pages-keyboard-0

If you come from the PC world, you have probably noticed that on the Mac there are no keys on the keyboard that do reference to "Page Up" and "Page Down"Both on the MacBook range and on desktop Macs, however this does not mean that you cannot use the same feature on Mac as there are two ways to achieve the equivalent of such paging keys on any Mac keyboard.

Let's quickly review the options available to us below. with some keyboard shortcuts to carry out this daily action without constantly having to use the mouse.

Up-down-pages-keyboard-1

  • fn + Up Arrow: The "fn" key is found at the bottom left of all modern Mac keyboards, and when combined with the up arrow, which is located at the bottom right of the keyboard, the equivalent of "Page Up »
  • fn + Down Arrow: Like the previous one, we invoke the pagination function but this time down "Page Down".

These two combinations will only lower or raise the corresponding percentage of the screen, that is, they will scroll only once to view the next piece of content, if what we want is to go down or up completely on the page we will have to use the same combination but this time with the left or right arrow keys, so we will raise or lower the page completely.

Even if we press Shift + Spacebar or just the spacebar We will also achieve the same effect, although this method is not compatible with all applications but almost all web browsers support it. As you can see there are many combinations to achieve the same functionality as on PC, and even some more advanced.
