First off, it's recommended that you use ''screen'''s scrollback buffer instead. Since you can have multiple windows in a ''screen'' session, if you switch between those windows, your terminal scrollback will mix lines from all of those windows, but ''screen'' keeps separate scrollback buffers for each one. Just use ''[[commands:copy|C-a ESC]]'' or ''[[commands:copy|C-a []]'' to enter [[commands:copy]] mode. (See also the [[interface#xterm-style_scrolling|interface examples]] for a description of how to make ''xterm'''s keystrokes work on ''screen'' instead.) But if you do want scrollback in your terminal window (usually ''xterm''), read on. | First off, it's recommended that you use ''screen'''s scrollback buffer instead.
