Linux Terminal Scroll: Complete Guide

In Linux, there are several methods for scrolling the screen.

1. To use the terminal scrollbar: Most terminal emulators have a scrollbar feature which allows you to scroll through the terminal screen using your mouse or keyboard shortcuts (usually Page Up and Page Down).
2. Utilize terminal pagination tools: Terminal pagination tools (such as less, more, etc.) can display long texts in paginated format, allowing you to scroll through pages using the spacebar.
3. To use command output redirection: If the output of the command you are running is too long, you can redirect it to a file and then use any text editor to view the file content, scrolling through the screen with a scrollbar or shortcut keys.
4. Some commands support scrolling function, such as the top command which displays system resource usage and allows for scrolling through the screen.

These methods are applicable to most Linux distributions, but the specific implementation may vary.
