Vim

Edit the file ~/.vimrc and add the following options:

map <Esc>[H <Home>
imap <Esc>[H <Home>
map <Esc>[F <End>
imap <Esc>[F <End>
map <Esc>[5~ <PageUp>
imap <Esc>[5~ <PageUp>

imap <Esc>[5~ <PageUp>
map <Esc>[6~ <PageDown>

Cocoa Keybindings

Put the following lines in ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict:

{
    /* home */
    "\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLine:";
    "$\UF729" = "moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:";

    /* end */
    "\UF72B"  = "moveToEndOfLine:";
    "$\UF72B" = "moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:";

    /* page up */
    "\UF72C"  = "pageUp:";
    "$\UF72C" = "pageUpAndModifySelection:";

    /* page down */
    "\UF72D"  = "pageDown:";
    "$\UF72D" = "pageDownAndModifySelection:";
}

Firefox

Install the following Firefox extension.

Textmate

I strongly recommend to Textmate users to disable the “Smooth Scrolling” option in System Preferences->Appearance->Use smooth scrolling. This option cause a strange behaviour with Page Up/Down on Textmate.
