    Speaking of which:

    #Linux dropped the #scrollback mechanism from its kernel #VirtualTerminals entirely, in version 5.9, released in September 2020.

    The "Linux keyboard and console HOWTO" in the meanwhile is dated 1998.

    There are quite a number of outdated StackExchange answers that haven't been corrected for the new reality, too. So it's not solely the #LinuxDocumentationProject that was written "weeks ago". (-:
