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.
