To get them them working “properly” again open up Terminal and go to the Preferences dialog. Click on the Settings button at the top and then the Keyboard tab. Change the action for each of the keys as show in the following table.

Key Old Action New Action
home scroll to start of buffer \033[1~
end scroll to end of buffer \033[4~
page up scroll to next page in buffer \033[5~
page down scroll to previous page in buffer \033[6~
