-=== Entering Scrollback Mode and Navigating === 
- 
- 
-To enter scrollback hit C-a [. A status line will indicate that you've entered copy mode. To exit scrollback mode, hit the escape button. 
- 
-Navigating in scrollback mode will be pretty familiar to VI users. Here are some of the most common navigation keys (taken from the screen manpage): 
- 
-<code text> 
-h -    Move the cursor left by one character 
-j -    Move the cursor down by one line 
-k -    Move the cursor up by one line 
-l -    Move the cursor right by one character 
-0 -    Move to the beginning of the current line 
-$ -    Move to the end of the current line. 
-G -    Moves to the specified line  
-       ​(defaults to the end of the buffer). 
-C-u -  Scrolls a half page up. 
-C-b -  Scrolls a full page up. 
-C-d -  Scrolls a half page down. 
-C-f -  Scrolls the full page down. 
-</​code>​ 
- 
-I often use the page up and page down commands to quickly scroll back through the window'​s history. 
- 
-In addition to traditional navigation, Screen allows you to search the scrollback buffer using the following commands: 
- 
-<code text> 
-/ -    Search forward 
-? -    Search backward 
-</​code>​ 
- 
-Search is a very useful feature. For example, you could run a script and search for keywords in the output (such as Error), without having to redirect the output.
