Description

In scrollable programs like man and less, pressing Space scrolls one page down. Pressing Shift+Space to scroll up would be very helpful and is a convention in many programs but doesn't work in hyper, could this feature be added?

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Hyper's handling for Space in scrollable terminal programs and trace how keyboard input triggers scrolling. Done means Shift+Space scrolls up while Space continues scrolling down, with both keybindings covered by tests.
