Shift-PageUp/Down to scroll through the terminal

[arno01]

I am using a physical keyboard and would like to scroll through the terminal output using Shift-PageUp/PageDown combination.

Ctrl-LeftArrow/RightArrow is working for jumping between the words. Home & End buttons working too.
PageUp/PageDown is working in vim/less/... fine.

Let me know if I could help debugging this.

You can use tmux as a workaround, you can then use ctrl + b followed by pgup or pgdn to scroll

Also interested in this. Just bought a BT keyboard for Termux and realized FN-Shift-UpArrow (which should send Shift-PageUp) did not scroll. I'm using the F-Droid version of Termux.

This is an amazing and expected feature

As a workaround, one can start shell in emacs. Page up and page down keys work there.

This feature is greatly needed. What kind of terminal has a scroll buffer that can't be scrolled with a keyboard.

Fixed locally, will be available in next release.

@agnostic-apollo Could you give an estimate when the fix will be released? I don't want to uninstall all the addons to get this working. Thank you!

[agnostic-apollo]

I'm sorry, my estimates are usually wrong, release has already been delayed by many months due to the amount of work, so can't give any short term date.

[ristomatti]

I know the feeling. Thank you for the quick reply!

[agnostic-apollo]

You are welcome. Thanks for understanding.
