I have my laptop keyboard a bit old and my pageup key is damaged. hence this key works itself continuously creating problems even while opening fedora. is there a way to disable this key alone? or changing key board is the only solution?
If you use X then xmodmap is your friend:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 112 = '
to disable PageUp key.
Under Wayland I don't know.
It'll take a good bit of poking around in Wayland to figure out how to do this. As per this thread on askubuntu, Wayland still uses X keyboard layout files but you don't have nice utilities to remap specific keys. You'll have to find whichever layout you're using and edit that file to remove the reference to pgup. The key is referenced as "PGUP" in each file, so use that to narrow down the possible files to modify.
