For the pager in the GUI, the Home/End/arrows keys all work but the Page Up

E.g., try

Page Up and Page Down work in the CLI version of the pager. Now, it could
be that this PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN is non-standard and something that the
Linux bundlers used, as I don't see these keys listed in the 'h' help when
inside the pager. (There is every key, but those two.)
I miss those keys when in the GUI, though. Is there a startup file for the
pager in which key meanings can be defined?
Confirm here, and appears to be a difference between Qt 4 and Qt 5.
When I build the latest with --with-qt=4, I get Page Up/Down passed
through to the terminal and less handles them. When I build with Qt 5,
the keys never make it to the terminal, probably being captured by a Qt
scroll widget or something (even though they do not scroll the command
window, Shift + Page Up/Down do).
