Scrollback

Attyx maintains a scrollback buffer that preserves terminal output after it scrolls off the visible screen. You can scroll back through history, search it, and copy text from it.

Configuration

[scrollback]
lines = 20000

[reflow]
enabled = true

Scrollback options

Option	Type	Default	Description
lines	integer	20000	Scrollback buffer size in lines. Set to 0 to disable.

The scrollback buffer is implemented as a bounded ring buffer — when it fills up, the oldest lines are discarded to make room for new ones.

Reflow

Option	Type	Default	Description
enabled	boolean	true	Reflow text when the terminal is resized

When reflow is enabled, long lines that were wrapped due to a narrow terminal width will re-wrap when you make the terminal wider. This preserves the logical structure of text across resize events.

When disabled, wrapped lines stay wrapped regardless of terminal size changes.

Scrolling keybindings

Action	macOS	Linux
Scroll page up	Shift+Page Up	Shift+Page Up
Scroll page down	Shift+Page Down	Shift+Page Down
Scroll to top	Shift+Home	Shift+Home
Scroll to bottom	Shift+End	Shift+End

These can be rebound in the [keybindings] table. See the Keybindings docs for details.

Searching scrollback

Use the in-terminal search (Cmd+F / Ctrl+F) to search through scrollback history, or enter Visual Mode and use / or ? to search forward or backward.

CLI flags

Flag	Description
--scrollback-lines <int>	Scrollback buffer size
--reflow / --no-reflow	Enable/disable reflow

Runtime changes

Scrollback lines is hot-reloadable. Increasing the value preserves existing history; decreasing it trims the oldest lines.
