Autohotkey is pretty great. I can't code at all but I've been able to use it!
My 2020 Zephyrus G14 didn't come with page up, down; home and end keys so I used an ahk script to make up some macros. This is useful for other laptops or 60% keyboards as well.

Here's what I'm using:

Code: 
>^Down:: Send {PgDn}

>^Up:: Send {PgUp}

>^Left:: Send {Home}

>^Right:: Send {End}

>!-:: Send {Home}

>!=:: Send {End}

ctrl+[arrow keys] or alt+[- and =] work as page up, down; home and end keys
