Usage

If you’re launching compilers, servers, linters, etc you’ll probably want to scroll the command’s buffer to read through the output. Since commands run in term buffers, which “swallow” usual Emacs keybindings, switching to the buffer and pressing the C-v, M-v, PageUp, and PageDown won’t work.

Luckily, there’s an even better way.

You can navigate the command buffer without even leaving the buffer where you’re doing your main work by using the following keybindings:

  • M-<home> (aka Alt+Home) to scroll the other window to the top

  • M-<next> or C-M-v (aka Alt+PageDown and Ctrl+Alt+v) to scroll the other window down

  • M-<prior> or C-M-S-v (aka Alt+PageUp and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+v) to scroll the other window up

  • M-<end> (aka Alt+End) to scroll the other window to the bottom.
