Auto scrollback terminal upon keypress to command prompt

Is there a setting, similar to Putty, where when a key is pressed on the keyboard then scrollbar automatically scrolls back to the command prompt. I find when I scroll up in the terminal output, when I begin typing a new command, it does not automatically scroll down so I can view what I am typing therefore I have to go back to the mouse and scroll back down to see what I am doing.

This would be helpful in SSH and Telnet connections, or really in any terminal based connections.
