Description Alexander Potashev 2021-07-12 20:13:01 UTC 
SUMMARY
Please implement this feature: Scroll back to the previous shell command invocation. I'm not the first person to want it - see also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17212643/how-to-scroll-back-the-terminal-to-where-the-last-command-was-given.

CUJ:
 1. Run a command that prints out something useful, and then a lot of detailed debugging information (thousands of lines).
 2. After the program has terminated, you want to scroll back to review the output of the command from its start.
 3a: Without this feature: Either Shift+PgUp repeatedly, or use scrollbar (hard to position precisely), or search for a substring of the command you know you typed in.
 3b: With this feature: Press one keyboard shortcut (or click a menu item.)

Konsole v22.08 added semantic shell integration, which, among other things, allows this.
