No, I meant in bash. I guess as a developer he spends some time there (that might be a false assumption, of course).

I've been using Shift+PGUP for ages and absolutely despise Laptops where it's buried under FN+Cursor - which usually requires both hands to press.

Perhaps there's an alternative key combination that I don't know about - which is part of why I ask.

In Terminal.app I just wave my fingers over the track pad to scroll. However 99.9% of the time I'm in a screen window which maintains its own buffer. Fn + Up/Down is Page Up/Down in most applications I've used.

All of my bash shells are run in GNU screen. So scrolling up is C-a [ to enter copy-mode. Then C-u to scroll up and C-d to scroll down.

I can't speak for others, but I usually run a M-x shell process in Emacs.
