When using tmux how can I see the total output of one pane?


I am using an application that uses tmux with multiple panes I know the basics of how to travel between panes.

So I move to one pane with Ctrl+B and arrows. Then when I am in one pane that I found interesting I do Ctrl+B Z and I could see the pane as an entire terminal. (Zoom)

The problem is when I am there I can see the latest output of that pane but I cannot go up to see what happened before that. I would like to do that.

How can I scroll the other outputs in a pane in tmux?

    CTRL-B and then the [ key. (Enters "Scroll mode")

    You can now use the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll through the output. To exit, just press ESC or q
