I think the "shift pageup" is somewhat problematic for me.
I prefer the terminal to use all the pg up/down buttons but that's
perhaps because I'm used to editors which don't page with page up/down.
My main issue with GNOME terminal is that it is:
- very slow
- pretends to be fast by now showing all the output.
If in xterm I do cat "/etc/termcap", it takes a while but I see all
text flying by. GNOME terminal is much quicker but shows me nothing
but the last page and a few bits left and right.
I certainly want a setting which allows me to choose between
pass-thru and use-by-gnome-terminal function keys, just like Xterm does.
Perhaps GNOME allows me to configure this also, but I haven't
found how.
