Scroll pages with "screen" in a putty window

I am connected with Windows putty to a Linux computer, and inside this SSH session, I use screen (similar tu tmux).

I know that, in order to scroll with PG-UP / PG-DOWN, one has to do this before:

CTRL+A[

This is not very handy.

Is there a way to configure screen to have something like SHIFT + PG-UP / SHIFT + PG-DOWN to scroll pages (or mouse scrolling)? (without having to do CTRL+A, [)

Without screen it's just as easy as doing SHIFT + PG-UP / SHIFT + PG-DOWN.

Note: With tmux, this might be the solution: How do I scroll in tmux?

Solution 1:

As documented here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/165810/137396

In your local .screenrc file on you Linux host (probably in home directory) add the following:

bindkey "^[[5;2~" eval "copy" "stuff ^b"
bindkey "^[[6;2~" eval "copy" "stuff ^f"

This should bind Shift+PgUp, / PgDn via copy mode. To escape from copy mode use ESC.
