Our exchange piqued my interest so I looked for how to do it from within GNU screen. It turns out screen has options that will allow you to do it: Inside the ansi-term and screen, if I want to scroll back: - To see the buffer settings: Ctrl-a i - To increase the screen buffer size: Ctrl-a : and then type scrollback 10000 - To scroll the buffer Ctrl-a [ then scroll and then ESC to stop copy-mode - To search Ctrl-a Ctrl-s (forward) Ctrl-r (backwards). ESC to quit search mode and keep cursor in the place of search. - To copy stuff while in copy mode: SPC (mark begin) SPC (mark end). Then to copy it to another Emacs buffer ??? - Ctrl-a : then hardcopy -h <filename> will write the whole buffer content to <filename> which can then be used anywhere.
