How do I scroll the help documentation pane in the bottom half of my aws-shell?

I'm happy to add the answer to the README, but not sure how to do it myself.

Hi @mmautner, I don't think this is possible at the moment.

Thanks @donnemartin -- I figure the answer lies somewhere in prompt-toolkit's docs.

Here is the window containing the docs from the awscli:

aws-shell/awsshell/ui.py

Lines 179 to 186 in ab5ed9a

ConditionalContainer(
content=Window(
BufferControl(
buffer_name='clidocs',
),
height=LayoutDimension(max=15)),
filter=HasDocumentation(app) & ~IsDone(),
),

Facing the same issue - saws actually opens the documentation link in the browser, which I'd prefer if window scrolling isn't possible

Is it possible in emacs mode? Looking for the same functionality. @JordonPhillips I think making aws-shell comfortable for developers would really help the bottom line. Most expert developers I know still use a fairly even mix of web console / cli. Moving faster means more consumption. :)

aha! I thought I was going crazy and spend close to an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't focus on the documentation pane and scroll it. The last line visible in the documentation pane was "AVAILABLE COMMANDS" and without a way of scrolling to see the actual commands, I feel this pane does more harm than good?

Ability to focus the documentation pane to navigate it as well as use the scroll wheel have been added in #138
