If you're scrolling zsh in the terminal, that's a terminal command,
not a zsh command --- it's the terminal that manages scrollback.
I take it that is what you mean, you don't want to access the shell's
own history (which is indeed a "bindkey")?

How you do that varies depending on the terminal --- modern ones
have a menu for this, but if its xterm you need to use an Xdefaults
text file.
