Well at heart I'm a powerbook guy. I want to hit Fn+Up/Down to get page up and down on my iMac too, but my iMac doesn't have a Fn key. So if I could program Control + Up/Down to do this system wide, I'd be very happy. uControl looks like it can do this but doesn't look like it's compatable with Tiger yet.

I checked out the keyboard system prefs, but it doesn't look like it does this either.

Can anyone suggest a tool to do this?

What's wrong with Page Up and Page Down? I find it more convenient than two keystrokes.

Cause I'm already trained to use the function + up/down keys from my powerbook usage.

Plus it's nice to scroll slowly with up/down and then press Fn (or control on my iMac) to scroll quickly, without moving my hands back and forth between arrows and page up/down keys.

Yes, I know it's dumb, but old habits die hard.
