shift+pgup doesn't scroll the terminal? #77

Open thoraxe opened 4 years ago

thoraxe commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug I don't know if this is a WSL bug or a Windows console bug, or an issue with my system configuration, but trying to use any variation on the PgUp/PgDn keys (shift, alt+shift, ctrl+alt+shift, etc) does not actually scroll the terminal window

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open the Fedora WSL
  2. Issue a command that produces more than 1 screen of output
  3. Try to scroll the screen with shift+pgup

Expected behavior The screen should scroll up.

What other troubleshooting have you attempted? Various docs point to Ctrl+Up for single-line scrolling which also doesn't work.

WLinux Version

Find: Settings->Apps->Apps & features->WLinux->Advanced Options->Version.

Insert here: The above does not exist, however Fedora Remix for WSL shows version 31.4.1.0

Windows Build

Run 'systeminfo | findstr /C:"OS"' in Command Prompt and insert here:

Hello,

Windows console doesn't have this option.

In Windows Terminal you can achieve the same using Ctrl+Shift+PageUp/Down: https://defkey.com/windows-terminal-shortcuts

You can also install a full-featured Linux Terminal like Terminator here the steps:

  1. Install any X Serve like VcXSrv or X410.
  2. Install terminator
sudo dnf install dbus-x11 terminator
  1. Create a shorcut in your Windows desktop 
    wslusc --gui --icon /usr/share/pixmaps/terminator.png  --name Terminator /usr/bin/terminator
