From the Archives 1
Going to copy-paste some posts I want to keep from the old blog. Finding that blog is left as an exercise for the reader.
From December 1, 2005:
I’ve started using Eterm and Fluxbox. One thing that annoys me about Eterm is that it scrolls one page at a time when when I scroll with the mouse. I just figured out how to change this. It took far longer than it should have, and Google was no help. So, hopefully this should be of help to whoever finds this
It’s simple, really. In your user.cfg file (probably in .Eterm/themes/Eterm/user.cfg) Go the the actions section and add these two lines:
bind button5 to script ’scroll(2l)’
bind button4 to script ’scroll(-2l)’
This will have Eterm scroll two lines instead of one page. I like two lines. You can change it to whatever you want. Here’s my whole action section, for context:
begin actions
bind ctrl shift button3 to string ‘^[]6;14^G’
bind ctrl button3 to menu “Eterm”
bind ctrl button2 to string ‘^[[?30t’
bind ctrl button1 to string ‘^[]5;^G’
bind button5 to script ’scroll(2l)’
bind button4 to script ’scroll(-2l)’
end actions
Next on the agenda, figure out how to make my End key work.
(For those who are familiar with my blog, you won’t be interested in this. I’m just writing this in the hopes that someone will stumble across it and be saved the frustration I went through in getting this to work.)
