osx - Mac os x Terminal.app's buffer and screen command -

I use the Mac OS X terminal app to connect to my remote machine and then the screen on that machine I use

Is the scrollbar used to scroll forward and backward on the screen buffer on the terminal. It is very painful. Ctrl + a + esc and then page up / down

thanks Aravind < / P>

To expand on the previous two answers: .screenrc line

  Termcapinfo xterm * ti @: te @  

will turn on your scrollbars. This is a win unless you are using Control-A to switch between multiple screen sessions in the same terminal window. The screen is called cursor addressing mode to keep a separate history buffer for each session; The termcapinfo line above indicates that it will never use that mode. All the history goes into a buffer, the original terminal buffer, and you will see the lines of all the sessions mixed with each other.

These days, which is just to use a different terminal window (or tab), each login on your remote - low price in my mind to withdraw your scrollbar

So why is not the scrollbar mode default? Because in the Old Time Day when we walked 20 to 24 character cells VT100s from 20 to 80 miles in snow, you could only get a per terminal terminal per terminal. Unless you used two terminals on your desk, the screen was the only multi-session game in the city.
