Assume you are using xterm (which use VT100).
Try put the following in your .Xdefaults file on your HOME directory.
*VT100.Translations: #override\
Shift<KeyPress>Prior: scroll-back(1,halfpage)\n\
Shift<KeyPress>Next: scroll-forw(1,halfpage)\n\
<KeyPress>Prior: scroll-back(1,page)\n\
<KeyPress>Next: scroll-forw(1,page)
Note, there is a Tab character at the front of each line except the first.
This should make both your xterm and vi using PageUp and PageDown keys
to scroll up/down one page. Add SHIFT before PageUp/PageDown for scrolling
up/down half a page.
