By default, screen
does not allow scrolling with regular PgUp
/PgDn
or arrow keys. However, there is a way to move around: the is a copy mode.
This mode can be entered by pressing the regular prefix combination (^A
), and then hitting Esc
. Moving around is possible with arrow keys. To get back to regular mode hit Esc
twice.

Even better option is to put following into .screenrc
:
termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@
This will enable regular scrolling with mouse wheel or terminal scrollbar.
