I stopped using my xterms' scrollback buffers a while ago, because when I
switched screen windows a lot the xterm's scrollback got very jumbled.
Still, I missed the convenience of just pressing Shift-PgUp to get to that
scrollback buffer. I finally figured out a nice solution, which I'm
documenting here in case anyone else is interested. I put the following
in my ~/.Xresources:
XTerm.vt100.translations: #override \n\
Shift <Key>Prior:string(0x1b) string("[5;2~") \n\
Shift <Key>Next:string(0x1b) string("[6;2~")
That forces xterm to pass the keys through to apps running within. I then
put this in my .screenrc:
bindkey "^[[5;2~" eval "copy" "stuff ^b"
bindkey -m "^[[5;2~" stuff ^b
bindkey -m "^[[6;2~" stuff ^f
Outside copy mode, Shift-PgUp enters copy mode and does a page up. Once
in copy mode, it merely does a page up. A simple solution, once I
remembered bindkey's -m option.
