Yeah, Thomas is right. I personally don't like the scrollbars, I just
use the scrollwheel on my mouse to scroll up and down text in xterm. So my
method for selecting a large amount of text is:
- scroll to location of beginning text
- right click once on exactly where i want to begin selection
- scroll down with scrollwheel until end text is reached
- right click again exactly where i want to end selection
Of course, in conjunction with right-clicking, you could alternatively
use the scrollbar ;-)
yes. It depends on your wheel mouse. I've used a wheel mouse which
scrolls smoothly (but it's not the one at hand this moment - that one
bounces a lot, sending spurious events). The scrollbars tend to be more
reliable, though not necessarily as easy to use (since they require an
extra step).
