I run Fedora 24 and sometimes use a virtual console.
(I use Ctrl+Alt+F3 to switch to the virtual console, so it’s not a terminal in X).
In the past I could use Shift+PgUp or Shift+PgDown to scroll but today it stopped.
In the manpages and in vim the PgUp and PgDown work fine; furthermore the same shortcuts work fine in Xterm.
Does anybody know why I lost the shortcuts to scroll the screen in the virtual consoles?
Scrollback via Shift+PageUp and Shift+PageDown is no longer supported on console terminals by newer kernels. See this post: software scrollback support removed. Alternatives are to use screen, more or less. (Of course, there will be times that the message we wanted to read will have gone past before we were able to run screen, more or less!)

Usually stty sane does the trick but check man stty for full info.
(sane is not on all systems exactly the same)
