Console Shell Keybindings
The console shell is primarily driven by the actions menu but each of the activities which may be selected from there also has its own keybinding.
The console shell is wrapped with a copy of GNU screen, so any of the keybindings you’ve learnt for that will work – with the difference that we’ve changed the default escape key from Ctrl-a to Ctrl-p
Available Keybindings

| dh & vm | Ctrl+p [ | Scrollback Mode | ||

Scrollback Mode
The scrollback mode is very useful if you’re wanting to see what has been displayed on your console – perhaps to look for a kernel panic log or similar.
Once you’re in scrollback mode you’ll find that the normal keys do not work. Instead you should use the arrow keys to scroll up and down.
To leave scrollback mode press “return” twice, or press escape.
“We purchased our first server with Bytemark just over 18 months ago and they have provided us with a faultless service. We've been particularly impressed with their technical knowledge, their support team and their use of Debian really sealed the deal for us when we signed up. We're currently in the process of moving all of our hosting requirements to them”
