SCROLLBACK, COPY, PASTE MODES
       Each  window  in Byobu has up to 10,000 lines of scrollback history, which you can enter and navigate using the alt-pgup and alt-pgdn keys.  Exit
       this scrollback mode by hitting enter.  You can also easily copy and paste text from scrollback mode.  To do so, enter scrollback using  alt-pgup
       or  alt-pgdn,  press  the  spacebar  to start highlighting text, use up/down/left/right/pgup/pgdn to select the text, and press enter to copy the
       text.  You can then paste the text using alt-insert or ctrl-a-].
