Is it possible to scroll log window?

[Postman]

Subj.

Yep, but only with a scrollwheel on a mouse.

Can not be redefined in key bindings?

People like me who do not have a scroll-mouse are SOL there.

Actually, what I do is edit src/main.c and make sure buffering is set to line mode, not the default block mode. And capture the log (stdout) to a file. And then if I need to look back at what the hell just happened, I can look in the file.

Works for in-game chat, too. With line-mode buffering and a stdout log file, you can use tail -f | grep to get the chat output in a separate window.

greycat, can you please post the lines you edited, or the diff? I tried to collect the outputs in a named-pipe, but the I think buffering is performed in a annoying manner. Thanks.

Next beta adds a command line parameters to enabled line buffering

Something like this, but it may not apply cleanly, because I had to add the comments back in manually to generate the diff....

A better diff might be "uncomment the setvbuf line".

Thanks, darkgod and greycat.
