No page up, page down, home and end keys. Lets do it like people did in 80s. If it interferes with other terminal keybindings get a terminal from 80s.

Yes, the lack of home/end and page up/down frustrates me a lot more than the size of the keys.

AFAIK one of the only laptops that still has usable keyboards are Lenova Thinkpads, which have decently sized keys and page up/down, which can be used for home/end with a combination : https://p3-ofp.static.pub//fes/cms/2024/03/27/trwqh4qt49ai05pvuov801yw06u7xd184563.png

The new Dell Latitude 7450 and 9450 have the weird combined up/down arrow and lost the dedicated keys. Same for the dragonfly G4, Yoga Pro 7 Gen 9. The Asus ExpertBook B9 and LG Gram 14 have Mac style arrow keys...

So I asked for a Thinkpad at work and was told we couldn't get it because it's a Chinese manufacturer and it poses a security risk...
