Scroll half page up / down

copy mode

// what it does

In vi copy mode, Ctrl+u runs `halfpage-up` and Ctrl+d runs `halfpage-down`, scrolling the view by half a screen each press. Half-page jumps keep a few overlapping lines visible, which makes it easier to read continuously than full-page paging.

// shortcut

Ctrl + u
Ctrl + d

// gotcha

These are copy-mode-vi bindings, distinct from the shell where Ctrl+u kills the input line and Ctrl+d sends EOF — same keys, completely different effect depending on whether you're in copy mode.
