Thanks for adding this description @MariaBego56, and for linking it back to the scrollback definition.
The only page we have in the docs that really references this functionality is the new terminal multiplexers page, but this could be a good place to add a term link to each of your definitions here.
I've suggested removing the instructional part from the definition - they'll be a bit hidden in a glossary, but if you can find relevant places to add them in the page I linked, I'd be happy to accept them there.

It's not a good idea to have instructions in the glossary - it also wouldn't be clear to readers which of the ways suggested are applicable to which shell (we don't specifically document the shells, since this isn't Ubuntu-specific).
