Hi,
does someone know, how to increase the "history-buffer's size" of the
terminal? (and I mean the pure terminal, without an X-Server)
I mean, if I use some commands producing plenty of output, I cannot
scroll to
the beginning of the text quite often, because the history buffer is to
small.
Another inconvenient thing is that the buffer seems to "forget"
everything
except the last screen of text, if I switch to another terminal. (alt
+ F2
for instance).
How can I make the history buffer larger, or - if possible - set it
infinitely large. (Just as the "Konsole" of KDE.)
Thanks,
Roman Naumann.
To make it "infinitely" large you can set the variable HISTSIZE to
some huge value like
export HISTSIZE=1000000000000
You could try setting the history to infinitely in Konsole and then do
echo $HISTSIZE
Cheers,
Jay
HISTSIZE is used in shell as the number of commands to save in a history
list,
but cannot increase the "history-buffer's size" of the terminal.
