Hi, I believe that vo and the arrow keys will do at least part of what you want. I use them to review terminal output all the time. You need to be interacting with the shell text area for this to work, of course. Beyond that, it depends on how large of an output you're dealing with. I love programs like less for breaking that into manageable chunks. Hope this helps, Zack. On Apr 17, 2011, at 5:46 PM, Yuma Decaux wrote:
