Shift+PgUp/PgDn scrolling in GNU Screen in XfceHi, I can't figure out how to scroll using Shift+PgUp/PgDn when running screen in a Terminal in Xfce. Everything works fine on the Console. Any ideas? Thank you. Bookmark/Search this post with:

Debian Screen Q&A
-----------------
Q: shift+page up in xterm/gnome-terminal/konsole used to let me scroll back a
bit, but now it doesn't. How can I make it work with scrollback?
A: It doesn't scrollback consistently because screen (the program) displays in
xterm's alternate screen buffer.
To have screen use xterm's normal screen buffer (which includes scrollback),
you can add the following to your .screenrc:
termcapinfo xterm|xterms|xs|rxvt ti@:te@
Copy mode
An alternative would be to go into copy mode in screen, i.e. 'Ctrl-A Esc'. You may then use PgUp/PgDn or arrow keys etc. as you like. Exit the copy mode by pressing Esc again, or Ctdl-C.
