Does scroll work on mosh? How do I add scroll to Mosh? Does Mosh have the scroll feature?

Mosh does not support scroll, due to it only dumping changes between screens, like video rendering protocols. This is the reason why Mosh is so fast. How can I add scroll to Mosh? Since Mosh cannot scroll we recommend pairing it with a terminal multiplexer like Tmux or Screen. These allow buffering for scrolling and you have access to your previous command outputs.
How to scroll on Tmux:

• Ctrl+b then [ then you can use Arrows. Press q to quit scroll mode.
• You can also press Ctrl-b+ PgUp to go straight to copy mode and scroll one page up.
  OR
• To scroll with mouse wheel/ touchpad: In your ~/.tmux.conf file add: set -g mouse on. Save and exit, Then: tmux source your-tmux-file

How to scroll in Screen:

1. Press ctrl+a then press Esc. (check what your ESC is or assign it to a custom press in Settings>Keyboard) Read more
2. Press the Up and Down arrows or PgUp and PgDn to scroll .
3. Press ESC again to exit scroll mode.

As an extra tip, you can auto launch your Tmux or Screen session automatically on Mosh.
Go to Setting>Hosts, choose your host, scroll down to Mosh section. In the command field enter: tmux new -A -s ${my_session_name}

I tried this but it doesn't work well with the finger scroll because blink translates touch to arrows in mosh, instead of mouse wheel. blink uses scroll in bink shell and in ssh, if you do the same for mosh it would work with tmux mouse mode.

I guess you decided on arrows in mosh because mosh does not have an history buffer and this is a good decision if tmux mouse mode did not exist
but I don't really need the arrows mapped to touch because I have the arrows icon that does that same...its a waste 😦
