Hey - tried installing TF the other day, and one big thing has been standing in the way of making me commit to it.

Scrollback is limited to the past screen or so. I can't see what was sent to me other than the past few lines - which if frustrating for obvious reasons. How can I see the scrollback for earlier? I've looked all over the internet and tried to play around with the software, but it isn't working... any ideas?

I'm using MacOSX on an iBook G4.

Ok.

* Install Tinyfugue 5.0 beta , its less broken
* Use function-shift-arrowup/down to get the functionality - on a normal keyboard its shift+pageup/down

I'm assuming that you're using Terminal.app to do this. Scroll back is there, but you have to use Shift-PageUp, Shift-PageDn to use the scroll back with the default bindings for tf and Terminal. Terminal actually has the shifted and non-shifted versions switched around from the standard UNIX default I believe. I switched around the key bindings between the shifted and non-shifted versions of PageUp and PageDn. It's in the Terminal menu ->Window Settings, and select the keyboard pane. You'll have to mess around in there for a bit.

The other option is to change the behaviour of the key-bindings in tf. I don't know it off the top of my head, it involves some work to fix things though. Need someone more familiar with tf to help out there though.

On mine, paging is just pageupkey and pagedownkey and it automatically (read: as per i installed it with nothing changed as per how morik walked me through it) scrolls to 1000 lines...
The commands do not change if your using term and xterm do they?
EDIT: not commands, I mean inbuilt keybindings, as in this case pageup and down

KDE3.5.1, TF 5.0b7 built from source, scrolling works like a charm in and outside TinyFugue. Inside it's PageUp and PageDown, I think those should be the default TF keybindings for that.

/help histsize to see how to tweak how large should the history buffers be, the default is 1000 lines.

PS: Yay for first post, and if anyone minds my display name being my real name, he can... err... well, tell me how to change it for example. First person to guess my character name gets a kiss, or a promise not to get one.
