When I want to map PageUp and PageDown key in my i3 config file I have to use terms Prior (PageUp) and Next (PageDown), so I am able to remap keys like this for exemple on my laptop :

bindsym --release $mod+Prior exec --no-startup-id xdotool key --clearmodifiers Home

bindsym --release $mod+Next exec --no-startup-id xdotool key --clearmodifiers End

Note: the remap key trick requires to install xdotool program.

On a lenovo laptop pageup and pagedown are too close to the arrows so I accidentally type them when I don't intend to.

I use the following:

bindsym Prior nop
bindsym Next nop
