SUMMARY In normal conditions, Shift+PgUp/Shift+PgDn allow traversing the scrollback buffer. However, when a client application enables the alternate screen buffer, scrollback is not available. In this situation, Shift+PgUp/Shift+PgDn keystrokes could be propagated to the client instead of being discarded by Konsole. Alacritty, for instance, does this. When the alternate buffer is enabled, the client can receive KEY_SPREVIOUS and KEY_SNEXT events. Thank you very much.
