Another option would be to utilize the mouse edit buffer to
capture screen content in "ASCII only", it requires a standard
three button mouse and moused running correctly. Then you can
select parts of the screen content or the whole screen using
the left mouse button, then use Alt+PF2 (for example) to
switch to another VT, login, start an editor (ee screen.txt)
and then press the middle mouse button - the selected text
will be put 1:1 into the file.
Unelegang manual work, but sometimes useful (e. g. if you
need screenshots for documentation purposes where a simple
ASCII reproduction without colors or other attributes is
needed).
