PageLeft(), and PageRight().

scrolling, they include ScrollToEnd() and ScrollToHome(), which take you to the top
or bottom of the scrollable content, and ScrollToVerticalOffset(), which takes you to a
specific position. There are horizontal versions of the same methods, including
ScrollToLeftEnd(), ScrollToRightEnd(), and ScrollToHorizontalOffset().
