What the fuck does 'scroll lock' even do?

No clue. For that matter, what does "Break" "Pause" and "SysRq" do?

Switches between KVMs.

sysRQ or print screen actually printed out your current screen in DOS
Pause is the best way to pause a game (still works)
and windows key + pause is the fastest way to my system in control panel

>The Scroll Lock key was meant to lock all scrolling techniques, and is a remnant from the original IBM PC keyboard. In the original design, Scroll Lock was intended to modify the behavior of the arrow keys. When the Scroll Lock mode was on, the arrow keys would scroll the contents of a text window instead of moving the cursor.[1][2] In this usage, Scroll Lock is a toggling lock key like Num Lock or Caps Lock, which have a state that persists after the key is released.
>Today, this particular use of Scroll Lock is rare. Modern programs honoring this behavior include IBM Lotus Notes, Forté Agent, Image-Line FL Studio, Renoise, Microsoft Excel, and on occasions[citation needed] Microsoft Word.
On some text editors turning on scroll lock allows the arrow keys to scroll through the document much faster as opposed to line by line with the cursor.

Pause actually is pause in Stalker I belive.
I believe some of those buttons actually meant something in DOS applications.
>>52191138
There is a winamp plugin that does that when you play a song.
