  • Your Windows build number: (Type ver at a Windows Command Prompt)

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.86]

  • What you're doing and what's happening: (Copy & paste specific commands and their output, or include screen shots)

vim /some/large/document.txt
Ctrl+F
Ctrl+B

  • What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

Ctrl+F should cause page down
Ctrl+B should cause page up

These work fine in existing cmd, powershell, etc. but don't work as expected in Terminal.

vim --version
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Nov 3 2014 09:06:12)
MS-Windows 32-bit console version
Included patches: 1-493

(I believe I installed the above through chocolatey at some point.)
