page up/down moves through cmd history, instead of scrolling

and if i press shift+pg+up/down, 2~ is printed

Those keys are sent to the shell. You could bind them yourselves:

keybind = page_up=scroll_page_up
keybind = page_down=scroll_page_down
keybind = shift+page_up=adjust_selection:page_up
keybind = shift+page_down=adjust_selection:page_down

The latter two don't seem to work for me, but they are listed in the source code, so I'm not sure about that (I see warning(gtk): unimplemented action=apprt.action.Action.Key.key_sequence when it's triggered).

Thanks. Very strange. It was working fine before. I didn't change anything.

Those keybindings help, but not perfectly.

Eg, if I open fzf via ctrl+r, page up doesn't navigate history. adding shift doesn't help.

page up doesn't navigate history

Yes, because those rebind them. This is something a shell would do, so consider checking your shell's documentation on how to rebind things instead of rebinding it in Ghostty.

adding shift doesn't help

What is adding shift meant to do? I assumed you wanted it to select an entire page, which is why I added the last two lines in that snippet.

Sorry for butting in, but; your intention is to swap behavior?

It's my understanding "traditionally" Page Up/Page Down scrolls command history and with shift the terminal emulator scrolls.

You want to reverse that? So that Ghostty scrolls on page up/ page down and readline/bash reacts to shift-page up,shift-page down?

If that's true; then (unless there's something weird in ghostty, still coming to grips with it stomping in with bashpreexec etc :D) you probably want to adjust your inputrc? Couldn't find a list of fzf default binds, so no idea if you need to tweak that too.

(I realize I just assumed bash/readline, no idea what other shells use)

It's my understanding "traditionally" Page Up/Page Down scrolls command history and with shift the terminal emulator scrolls.

The Mac terminal is the opposite. pg up/down scrolls position, and shift + pg up/down scrolls cmd history. Ghostty did the same when first installed. Then after a few days of usage, its behavior changed as described above. I don't remember changing anything. I don't have an inputrc file.

I was also bitten by that, coming from macOS Terminal.app. I realize that inside screen/tmux, most terminals, this is how it works, so I'm willing to change my habits. Particularly since I quickly found out that one can use command+page up/down to scroll the view.
