urxvt: scroll just one line

Question

I can scroll a chunk of output with Shift+PageUp (or PageDown), but is there a way to scroll just one line up and down? Often, you'd like to read something that is small enough to fit in one screen, but the scrolling is so heavy handed it is impossible to get the whole text chunk within one screen anyway!

I take it you don't want to use the scrollbar? – sr_ Aug 04 '12 at 18:03 — sr_, Aug 04 '12 at 18:03
Good point, forgot to say that. – Emanuel Berg Aug 04 '12 at 18:25 — Emanuel Berg, Aug 04 '12 at 18:25

I use keysym + command in my ~/.Xresources to scroll one line up with SHIFT+UP and one line down with SHIFT+DOWN :

.....................
URxvt*scrollBar:false
URxvt*scrollBar_right: false
URxvt.keysym.Shift-Up: command:\033]720;1\007
URxvt.keysym.Shift-Down: command:\033]721;1\007

Wonderful, works great! – Emanuel Berg Aug 26 '12 at 20:59
Which docs should I check to find out something like this just by myself? Or what other sequences I could have as commands? – Mr. Goferito May 29 '18 at 17:04

@Mr.Goferito - just google for xresources & urxvt and follow the links... Here's a good place to start – don_crissti May 29 '18 at 18:38
