I know I used to be able to scroll in the terminal window with SHFT+PgUp, SHFT+PgDn, but now it’s not working. I’ve tried also CTRL + SHFT + PgUp/PgDn/Up/Dn .

…
I’ve noticed that Linus dropped support for it in Kernel 5.19. and somebody mentioned to use screen, which I always do, but I didn’t see any option to scroll in the screen

It is in the screen manpage:

   C-a [,             (copy)            Enter copy/scrollback mode.
   C-a C-[,
   C-a esc

I use C-a plus Esc key since it is easier to type.

Thanks, I see C-a [ gets in this copy/scrollback mode. Then I can go up/down with arrow keys or PgUp/PgDn can even select text with enter on each side, just can’t seem to figure out how to paste it.
C-a ESC is even easier to remember, that works great.
