scrolling shortcuts in Cygwin terminal less output

What keyboard shortcuts can I use to scroll up and down in an output that has been piped to less in the Cygwin terminal application?

I like being able to scroll in less using 'Shift'+'PgUp/PgDn', but when working with a large piped output today, I could not use the same commands. I couldn't find a specific answer to this in Google or stackoverflow.

less in Cygwin, at least when used with minTTY, responds to PgUp / PgDown (no shift) correctly. It also handles the mouse scroll wheel.
