Remove the scrollbar but not the buffer from Terminal
Authored by: EatingPie on Nov 28, '03 02:30:45PM

Okay, dumb question...

How do you you look at the scrollback buffer without a scrollbar?

Remove the scrollbar but not the buffer from Terminal

I'm guessing by using page up/down. I think the better question is; why would you not want the scrollbar? If you use command-f, sometimes it's nice to know which item has been found by simply looking at the position of the thumb in the scrollbar.

It is page up / page down. To answer the previous reply: "Why would you want to remove the scrollbar?"

1. Xterm does it, Gnome terminal does it, Solaris dtterm does it. People get used to it? *shrug*

2. Some call it "The One True Way". Maybe you stare at your computer all day. Should it not look nice? You clean your house right?

3. Because it's there? :)
