I think scroll functionality should be put in wscons and let each port/arch
maintainers decide what keys it uses to as appropriate. I would think they
would know what the best keys/scan codes to use. I think just letting the
capability exist will be enough.
Linux uses Shift+Pgkey, FreeBSd uses scroll lock: Shitf+Pgkey requires you
to HOLD a key down to scroll but is faster to use (and consistent with
xterm); Scroll lock is slower, but no holding involved (usefule when you
have to scroll back and forth over many lines). Is it possible to do both?
