Comment 5 for bug 1089008

Howdy!

Within Byobu, it's much better to use Alt-PageUp / Alt-PageDown, rather than Shift-PageUp / Shift-PageDown.

This is due to the way that screen/tmux and your terminal hand scrollback buffers. With Alt-PageUp/Alt-PageDown, you'll be using the scrollback buffer built into Screen or Tmux, which is far better than the simple scrollback buffer built into your Terminal. This will enable to to accurate scrollback within your Byobu windows, splits, and sessions. If you use the one built into your terminal, you'll have very confusing scrollback behavior (windows, splits, and sessions will all be mixed together).

Now, all that said, you can enable Shift-PageUp / Shift-PageDown in your scrollback easily by adding the following to your ~/.screenrc:
termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@

I'm going to go ahead and add this back into byobu's default screen profile.
