How To Scroll - Hackdot

My mind boggles. This is like a relative of mine, who has used desktop computers for decades, and recently revealed an ignorance of ctrl-c, ctrl-v. I think I actually cried a little bit for her.

I too am stunned that someone has used their computer for many years without ever having to send SIGINT, but perhaps she only uses very well behaved applications?

It's not often however you have to send raw characters. Several of my coworkers didn't even know what that particular control sequence did when I quizzed them, so that doesn't surprise me at all.

Well, I don't know. Control+V is pretty important for paging through content. Even people who don't use raw characters have to be able to scroll (which just happens to be what this article is about…)

Haha, well done. Yes I would have had to look that up.
