Make page up and page down function in scroll-able game menus

I have bound page up and page down to buttons on my mouse, to reduce fatigue when scrolling through webpages.

With the addition of factoriopedia and logistic request groups, I find there are now a lot of menus with a page too tall for my screen, so there is a scrollbar that I can navigate with mouse wheel. I tried using my normal keybind to press page up and page down because I am so used to it, but it sadly did not work.

My feature request is that the page up and page down button should have their typical function in scrollable areas in game. In windows, pg up and pg dn affect the active window, while mouse scroll wheel affects the window that the cursor is over. I'm not sure what the right way to translate this into factorio might be. At times, there is more than one scroll-able area on screen in-game.

I couldn't find anywhere in the controls/keybinds part of settings that would allow me to set this up (though I would assume the default keybind would be set up in the expected way). Nor did I find any default keybind to pg up and pg dn. So, I don't think this should collide with any existing keymapping.
