No terminal scrolling with Shift+PgUp

[NathanZachary]

Hello,

I'm working on a new laptop install, and I can't seem to figure out why I have no terminal scrolling with Shift+PgUp. The keys seem to work just fine as pressing them without shift will call from bash history, but I can't get any type of scrolling when combining with shift.

Any thoughts regarding where to start troubleshooting?

Thank you.

Cheers,
Nathan Zachary

If you're talking of the normal terminal rather than a graphical one and using kernel 5.9.x, that's likely because it removed support.

Doesn't work for me anymore either on efifb, I'd suggest using tmux, screen, or similar to get a scrollback buffer.

Wow, thank you for the link; I'm not sure how I missed that announcement. Sad, really, but I guess I understand the rationale for it.

Cheers,
Nathan Zachary

An interesting note is that it works on install cd (5.15)

I extensively used shift PgUp in Linux console.
My strong vote to reintroduce this option. It is very useful with a text-based Gentoo
