Gmail – Scroll without using arrow keys or mouse in Gmail with shortcuts on

gmailkeyboard shortcuts

I do not want to have my hands leave the traditional typing position to navigate Gmail via shortcuts. I can do everything I need to do except scroll through really long e-mails. For that it requires my right hand drop down to navigate the arrow keys on my keyboard, which are off to the side. This is annoying.

Can anyone suggest a way to do this?

My page up and down keys are also off to the side.

Scrolling up and down a page isn't a GMail-specific shortcut but the browser/OS default. You can use Space bar to scroll down, and Shift + Space bar to scroll up.

If the conversation has multiple long messages, you can use N & P to jump to the beginning of the later/earlier message respectively.
