byobu help

GAT virtual machines use byobu.

Byobu has some useful features such as allowing a session to be split into multiple sessions within the same terminal window. Some terminal behaviour may be different from what you are used to, particularly navigation through scrollback in the terminal. Some key bindings are listed here including instructions for scrolling in the terminal.

Did your window freeze?: Try Ctrl-Q, this freezes a terminal.

Scrolling

  F7                            Enter scroll mode
  Enter, Ctrl-C                 Exit scroll mode
  Up/Down                       Scroll up/down one line while in scroll mode
  PgUp/PgDown                   Scroll up/down one page while in scroll mode
  Fn+Up/Down                    (Mac users) Scroll up/down one page while in scroll mode
