Terminal short cut to toggle scroll on output

When developing I faced the situation, where I want to quickly enable / disable the "scroll on output" setting from the Terminal.



Does such a shortcut exist (while being in the Terminal context) or is it possible to "record" a shortcut for such a toggle action?

  • Do you mean pressing Ctrl+s to freeze scrolling, and Ctrl+q to resume? or pipe commands to more?

  • Freeze / resume is what I looked for. Where did you find documentation about these commands?

If you're looking to just freeze / resume the output of the terminal, just use Ctrl+S to Stop output and Ctrl+Q to Quit stopping the output...



It's basic bash keyboard handling...

    Thank you, I did not thought of looking at external resources but makes sense since bash is used beyond Ubuntu.
