How pause the scrolling output in serial monitor

I’ve seen there are issues here, but are they solved yet?
If not, how can I save the terminal output in a file?
If not, what is a good separate alternative for the iMAC? Since CoolTerm is not installing on my iMAC.

How pause the scrolling output in serial monitor

Scrolling up by even one line in the serial monitor output stops the automatic scrolling for me.

monitor_filters = log2file.

I’m using CoolTerm now, works great!
