This is what I have in settings.json

        {
            "command": "scrollUpPage",
            "keys": "pgup"
        },
        {
            "command": "scrollDownPage",
            "keys": "pgdn"
        }

It seems when pgup/pgdn is overlapping between the main terminal and a tool started in it I have the issue. I solved it with configuring shift+pgup/shift+pgdn settings.json, so pgup/pgdn keys started working also in the tools like tmux, less, etc.
