Revisions to Write all tmux scrollback to a file

The command saves the file at ~/ by default. It's confusing at first and seems like the command is unsuccessful.

For those looking for a simple answer:

Use prefix + :, then type in capture-pane -S -3000 + Return. (Replace -3000 with however many lines you'd like to save, or with - for all lines.) This copies those lines into a buffer.
Then, to save the buffer to a file, just use prefix + : again, and type in save-buffer filename.txt + return. (by default it'll save the file in ~/)

(By default Prefix is Ctrl+B.)

Use prefix + :, then type in capture-pane -S -3000 + Return. (Replace -3000 with however many lines you'd like to save, or with - for all lines.) This copies those lines into a buffer.
Then, to save the buffer to a file, just use prefix + : again, and type in save-buffer filename.txt + return.

Bullet points; `-` is for all lines.
