I have Kali Linux running on VirtualBox for Windows 10, and there seems to be no way to scroll up and down in the terminal.
I have tried many key combinations such as Shift+PageUp, Shift+Fn+Up, Ctrl+Shift+PageUp, and countless variations. There has to be a way to scroll in the terminal. Can anyone help me?

Re: Can't scroll in Kali Linux terminal
Yes, of course you are correct. I should have been more explicit.
On my keyboard
SHIFT+CONTROL+UP ARROW - Scrolls Up
SHIFT+CONTROL+DOWN ARROW - Scrolls Down
As you probably know, Terminal's KeyBoard Shortcuts are listed and can set/changed via the its own Settings/Options Menu. The issue you are experiencing with a Linux VM may be that, in pressing certain keyboard command combinations that the host also uses, the Host will take priority and grab those commands before they reach the guest the guest. So, you may need to remap (some of) the Terminal Keyboard options to avoid any conflicts.

Re: Can't scroll in Kali Linux terminal
Those commands didn't work for me. I wasn't able to figure out how to change the keyboard shortcuts, but I suppose that's a Kali Linux question, not a VirtualBox question. Thank you for your help.
