I always use the SCROLL LOCK button to disable scroll lock when I mistakenly press the SCROLL LOCK button.

Check out tmux. I don't ssh without it. It gives you persistent sessions, tabs, scroll and more.
tmux is great but isn't in my OS' base installation, e.g.:
- won't be available first thing after an OS install.
- might be on a filesystem/dataset that's unavailable in certain circumstances (less common these days).
- might be broken after a major-version upgrade if built against old libs if I don't have a compat<n-1> package installed.
Scroll Lock has been a lifesaver many times :)
If you use Nix package manager, you can quickly get Tmux working on any OS supported by it. With a proven working version with the exact libraries as defined in the package. I don't use this on e.g. routers though; not enough space.

Throwing KVM switching and spreadsheet review into the bag of real world considerations.
This works even during POST. At least it used to.
Yes, to see the check the output of the console when it is fast scrolling, or occasionally in other programs to decouple the scrolling from cursor-movement.
Similarly the lack of a PAUSE button gives me pause. How would I stop running scripts/programs to check the output before making them continue? I guess there is some magic ctrl+??? combo for that...
