CTRL-B and then PgUp is working fine. Then I can use PgUp, PgDn or ArrUp, ArrDn. To leave and auto scroll to the end hit Esc

To escape, type in Q or Ctrl + J.

@DennisWilliamson thank you! Makes sense, $echo $EDITOR #=> vim what did you search for in the man page? For example, :/foobar

| Apr 5, 2017 at 16:30 | comment | added | Dennis Williamson | @mbigras: From the man page: "mode-keys [vi | emacs] Use vi or emacs-style key bindings in copy mode. The default is emacs, unless VISUAL or EDITOR contains 'vi'." | |
| Apr 5, 2017 at 16:18 | comment | added | mbigras | @DennisWilliamson does that mean tmux is in vi mode by default? Or does it only have some of the functionality? Line by line scrolling in this case. | |
| Apr 5, 2017 at 16:16 | comment | added | Dennis Williamson | @mbigras: It seems to be. | |

Is Shift-j and Shift-k line by line scrolling enabled by default? It seems like it is on my machine.

@CharlieParker: I've expanded my answer to include some navigation key bindings. Note that you can use numeric count prefixes like you would in vim so (set to vi key bindings) you could press 2 then PageUp (or Ctrl-b (twice)) and you'd move up two screen fulls.

| Jan 26, 2016 at 0:34 | comment | added | Charlie Parker | Isn't there a better way than just up and down arrows to scroll tmux? Like batch scrolling as in ctrl+b similar to VIM? | |

| Jul 29, 2013 at 12:07 | comment | added | wik | With vi mode-keys you can also use it's typical: C-y and C-e to scroll up/down line by line | |
| May 18, 2013 at 17:51 | comment | added | Nick Hammond | On a macbook if you're in scroll mode you can use fn+Shift+LeftArrow to scroll up a page. | |

Added alternative to page scrolling. If you want to immediately scroll up/down line by line (instead of page at a time) you can use the Shift-j/k combination (in scroll mode).

@chadoh: Try these on your Macbook: Home: fn-LeftArrow; End: fn-RightArrow; Page Up: fn-UpArrow; Page Down: fn-DownArrow. To make keycaps: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>

Correct, my tmux has no scroll-mode. You need to C-b [ to enter copy mode and then use either the emacs or vi key-bindings to scroll around. This seems like a lot of steps just to scroll, but the benefits of tmux still outweigh these annoyances. I'm on a macbook and there is no PageUp key :-\. (Also, how do I make keys with markdown like you did, Dennis?)

Ahh, that explains it. I think I started with 1.1 which was already after scroll-mode had been subsumed. The OP says ‘only two instances of the word "scroll" [in the man page]’, so the version is probably one without scroll-mode.

@Chris: In my tmux 0.8 (and its man page), C-b = is scroll-mode. Apparently, newer versions have dropped that.

I think C-b = is choose-buffer by default. Did you mean C-b [ (which is copy-mode by default)? Also you can also use C-b PageUp to start copy-mode directly on the previous page (very handy when you know what you want to view/copy has already scrolled off the current page).
