Description of the new feature/enhancement

Sometimes people using the Terminal need to scroll very far up, and read a lot of previous output. They then want to return immediately all the way to the bottom of the terminal, to see the latest output.

Currently: users scroll a lot to get to the bottom of the terminal.

Proposed: when scrolled more than X lines up, a ⬇️ button should appear that scrolls to UI all the way down to the latest output. I'll leave the UI discussion up to you.

I'm going to tag this as "extensibility", because this seems like a really good extension idea. Maybe not something we'd build ourselves, but a great optional feature someone could add. Plus, it has a lot of functionality I'd want to see our extensions support.
