http://crunchbang.org – there's an idea i've had for a while, that would be really nice to have, but i never found a way.  that being to have information auto-scroll on a monitor / in a terminal.  i had thought this useful for not just various system infos, but for monitoring all sorts, or even just scrolling kernel source code (lol), so it can be available at a glance, without interaction. or even perhaps a slow scroll of large outputs, like "tree /".icarus has just come into irc asking for a fairly similar idea... which i'll let him explain:(09:05:34) icarus: ok, so say you have a (HowTos)

Terminal limits scrolling 23 weeks 4 days ago

I have a running log, it outputs a lot to the terminal. Unfortunately, when I try to scroll up and view older output, it appears there is a limit. And I am unable to scroll past a certain point. On the Mac, the terminal allows you to scroll up to the start of the session. Is there a way to do this in ubuntu terminal?

Suppose I have some large datafile, which overflow the screen in both vertical and horizontal direction. How can I browse this file, while the header-lines stay on the screen?

For the moment, I am using less -S, so that I can nicely scroll my file horizontally and vertically. However, when scrolling down, the header lines obviously disappear.

On Windows, most programs with large, scrollable text containers (e.g. all browsers, most word processors and IDEs) let you press the middle mouse button and then move the mouse to scroll.

i thought i got rid of this bug. i had it when i used ubuntui am using arch + gnome shell i have intel GM4500HD as a graphic cardi lose the power and when i am start the computer i have slow scrolling when i use the mouse.when i had it in ubuntu , rebooting and log in to windows fix the problem.

EditText scrolling. 33 weeks 5 days ago

Hello,

I would like to edit some really long texts using the EditText app. When the text gets so large that it does not fit on the screen, the EditText does not automatically scroll to where the cursor is: so I stop being able to see where I'm typing.

I decided to allocate the top and bottom soft keys to allow me to scroll quickly.

This is the way that Mac OS scrolling with a boring old handheld mouse works (as opposed to fancy soap bar and multitouch mice): The more and the faster you scroll, the further the mouse scrolling goes.

For instance, if I scroll one little tick on the mouse, the window scrolls a tiny amount.

I'm using a Logitech K750(keyboard) and M705(mouse) using the same (one!) unifying USB connector. I paired them with my mac, but use them on my desktop with Ubuntu 12.04.1. Works nice. Just a few adjustments I'd like to do.

I've configured really sweet keystrokes for switching between, and scrolling in, a tty (the Linux console).

I've enabled natural scrolling via Ubuntu Tweak's miscellaneous options, but that doesn't seem to take effect for horizontal scroll, neither in web browsers, nor in nautilus or other native applications.

Is there any way to enforce this behavior on horizontal scrolling as well?
