Moving Play Head to clip edges with keyboard shortcut?

PageUp/PageDown shortcuts in the Timeline panel no longer work.

In earlier versions of Premiere Pro, I used the PageUp/Down buttons to move the play head in the Timeline panel. It would jump to each clip beginning or end. That shortcut doesn't work in the current Premiere Pro CC 2018. I Checked the Shortcuts dialog, but I could not find a "move play head to clip edge" command to assign to the PageUp/Down buttons.

I know that I can Shift-drag the play head to make it do what I want. But I want a keyboard-only method, not to have to use the mouse and the keyboard together to jump to clips edges in the timeline.

Has anyone restored this shortcut, can tell me how to do it? Or another method to do the same thing?

By the way, I did turn on "Snap playhead in Timeline when Snap is enabled" at Preferences > General. This does make the play head snap to clip edges, without holding down Shift, when dragging the play head.

Mine is the up and down arrow if the tracks are selected.
