Sorry if I'm wrong, but my understanding after reading your first message was that you already know how to do this (You showed a picture of the results of doing this.) and that you wanted to do /something else/. tmux performs many of the same things a terminal emulator does to provide terminals within terminals. The part relevant to you is that tmux keeps its own buffers completely separate from your terminal emulator in order to restore and hide the visuals of applications at your commmand, so you must tell /tmux/ to scroll buffers in order to see anything useful. Scrolling your terminal emulator's buffer will _always_ result in showing what was on your screen /before/ you started tmux. >My goal would be, that tmux would behave "as well" > as Terminator http://software.jessies.org/terminator/ in that respect.

Each pane in tmux has it's own buffer, and scrolling a pane's buffer is done by entering copy mode. > > > > Alexander > -- > ↯ Lifestream (Twitter, Blog, …) ↣ http://alexs77.soup.io/ ↯ > ↯ Chat (Jabber/Google Talk) ↣ a.sk...@gmail.com , AIM: alexws77 ↯ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
