I've been using Eterm for a couple of years but there is one feature I've
wanted and never can seem to make it work when I find the time to tinker with
it.
I'm a big fan of being able to do my work using only the keyboard, but there
doesn't seem to be a way within Eterm to scroll back and forth in the lookback
buffer with a keystroke. The Eterm tech manual hints that shift-uparrow might
do it, but that keystroke doesn't do anything. And of course just uparrow
cycles thru the bash shell history at the prompt, not the window's lookback
buffer. I'm no stranger to binding symcodes to strings and I've tried to
utilize the escape codes for Eterm to move the cursor up/down, and then to use
reverse index and next line. Both of those move the cursor on the screen but
won't scroll when it hits the border. There doesn't seem to be an action
keyword to scroll the buffer. Sigh, something that seems so simple is so
hard...
BTW, I'm revisiting this issue at this time because, using Gentoo, I just
upgraded from Enlightenment 0.16.7.2 to 0.16.8.1 and found that my desktop
configuration broke. Apparently various path names changed from
~/.enlightenment to ~/.e16, keybindings.cfg was renamed to bindings.cfg and
then to e_config.bindings and the syntax therein changed from:
/*keydefs: <WINDOWS>t => Spawn the Eterm *T*erminal */
__KEY t
__MODIFIER_KEY __WINDOWS_KEY
__EVENT __KEY_PRESS
__ACTION __A_EXEC "Eterm -t StarEnli"
__NEXT_ACTION
to:
KeyDown 4 t exec /usr/bin/Eterm -t StarEnli
I've googled for a couple of days trying to find some discussion about this
and perhaps a migration tool, but had no luck. I seem to be the only person
impacted by this and therefore I'm having to re-hand-edit all the
configuration files to get things back to the way they were. So I thought I'd
take another crack at the lack of a scrollback feature once more.
Can anyone offer advice?
