Author shortcut to scroll the timeline window vertically

Anyone know a keyboard shortcut to scroll the timeline window up and down, please? Say a page at a time?

AE7's interface lag is driving me nuts when trying to use the mouse wheel, and the only other method I know is to go over to the timeline window's scroll bar and drag it up and down, which is fiddly and becomes a bit tedious when you're navigating through
lots of layers.

You can hold down the space bar and it turns into a pan hand.

I can use the page up/down keys when my cursor is in the timeline area.

Yes, it moves the current time marker for me too. I'm on a PC - perhaps that works on the Mac?

I'll give the space bar pan method a try, but it's still the same problem with the sluggish update (of AE7 displaying the layer list in the timeline window - the more layers, the slower the update...)

Thanks for the ideas though!

Really? It still moves the current time indicator for me.

I'm on a Mac, so it's not a platform difference.

Don't know if it helps but I use the x key to put the active layer on top. To see all the layers again I hit the u key (maybe there's a better key to "show all". That's my way to navigate vertically.

My mistake. Of course Page Up/Down moves the time marker in one frame increments.
