Console mode scrolling
Hi, Is there a way to scroll the screen in console mode? Something like I do in Linux with Ctrl + Page Up? I find it specially useful, but I don't know how to do it in FreeBSD. I'm using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p4 #12 Thanks in advance. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Press scroll-lock, then up/down/pgup/pgdn/home/end. The buffer is per-vty and persists when you switch vtys, unlike Linux. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

If you search the archives, you will find the answer in there. You need to enable the scroll lock to be able to scroll. -- The world is not octal despite DEC. - http://kingsly.net/tmp/fortune.php/1239960643 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

FreeBSD offers a better solution than Linux: It uses the key on the keyboard that is intended to do this. Have a look at the ScrL (Scroll Lock) key. Have you ever asked yourself what this key will do? Try it, press it! :-) Use the up / down and page up / page down arrow keys then. To relapse to normal operations, press ScrL again. While in ScrL mode, you can still enter data, but it won't be echoed to the terminal. You will see it after exiting ScrL mode. To indicate ScrL mode, the block cursor will disappear. -- Polytropon From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
