PageUp/PageDown in gnome-terminal.
I'm running snv_42.
If I run vim inside a gnome-terminal then PageUp/PageDown moves me
through the document as I'd expect and want.
If I'm at the shell prompt then I need to press Shift PageUp to move
back in the scroll history, or use the scroll bar or the mouse wheel.
This all seems fine and consistent to me.
So what behaviour are people looking for ?
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.
This is the same performance stunt we used for cmdtool in 1991 or so.
Dtterm does the same thing. What's wrong w/ this?
