Tmux 3.6 terminal multiplexer adds pane scrollbars, Mode 2031 themes, new variables, and improved query handling across pixel size, palette, cursor, and clipboard data.

I did notice that there are no scrollbars in tmux (version I'm using).

To scroll using keyboard:
"C-b ? enters view mode to show text. A pane in view mode has its own key bindings which do not need the prefix key. These broadly follow emacs(1). The most important are Up, Down, C-Up, C-Down to scroll up and down, and q to exit the mode. The line number of the top visible line together with the total number of lines is shown in the top right."

In otherwords Control + b then you can scroll up and down with page up and down. FYI for any other noobs.

I'm actually a screen fan

Thread 'Using screen - the basics'

May 10, 2017

When you're connected via ssh on a remote server, a sudden disconnection will likely wreck whatever you're working on and make it difficult to find where you left off. This is where screen comes in handy. It's like working in a virtual terminal that will stay open until you exit out of it. If you suddenly lose Internet connectivity at your workstation (power loss at home, office, etc..) you can reconnect to your server, enter your screen session and continue where you left off.

screen isn't the only option, there's other popular ones like tmux and byobo, but being an old schooler, i'm...

Actually this is to see a list of keyboard shortcuts. I misread.
