0:00Long output scrolls off the top? Walk back through every line.

0:03Start rysh and generate a wall of output so we have a real scrollback buffer to explore.

0:08Each pane keeps its own scrollback. Let's fill it up.

0:14PageUp scrolls the active pane up one full page, PageDown brings you back down a page at a time.

0:22For fine control, Shift+Up and Shift+Down move a single line per press.

0:30Home snaps to the very top of the buffer, and End drops you straight back to the live prompt.

0:37Page, line, top, bottom -- you never lose a line of history.

Key takeaway
Each pane keeps its own scrollback, navigable by page, line, top, or bottom.
