How to scroll up in Emacs ansi-term

I've been Googling around and looking at Emacs built-in help but I have yet to determine how to scroll up (or down) in Emacs ansi-term.

I'm using Emacs 23.3.1开发者_开发技巧, OS X, in iTerm2. Thanks!

Edit: I've noticed most the advice people give me doesn't work in ansi-term but does work in eshell. I have since moved to eshell.

In general, if you don't need full screen terminal emulation, shell or eshell are better choices.

However, if you decide to stick with ansi-term, press C-c C-j to go into line mode. Then you can move around normally with the usual cursor movement keys. Press C-c C-k to get back into char mode to interact with the terminal.

Alternatively, you can scroll backwards a screen at a time with C-c C-v and just enter text to scroll back to the terminal input point.

Take a look at the Emacs documentation on term-mode (most of which applies equally to ansi-term) for more information.

Shift-page up/down (in Emacs-speak, S-prior/S-next) will work using the default bindings.

(While the normal C-h m/C-h b don't work to see mode information and bindings in this mode, you can still use C-c M-x describe-mode/describe-bindings, or depending on your setup, use F1 or the help key instead of C-h.)

install evil-mode at first, press C-z to switch to vim key binding.

• You can use C-f, C-b to scroll up and down
• you can use 20% to jump to to the top 20% of the buffer
• you can use /, ?, #, * to search the text in the buffer.
• all the grep/filter commands now usable (occur, swiper, helm-swoop, .... just name a few)
• you can narrow/widen the buffer
• you can yank text

Have you tried: Page up, up arrow, Ctrl-V,Alt-V

For ansi-term, I have this in my .emacs:

(add-hook 'term-mode-hook
          (function
           (lambda ()
             (define-key term-raw-map [?\C-c prior] 'scroll-down)
             (define-key term-raw-map [?\C-c next] 'scroll-up))))

Then I can use C-c pgup and C-c pgdn to scroll.

I was having the same issue but with multi-term (zsh), and after reading the response from @muffinista (the C-v did not work for me) but the Alt-v worked to go 1 page, after that you can use the normal C-p and C-n to scroll up and down.

This worked for me, but it depends a lot on which term you are using and key bindings you might have.

Up and down are Ctrl-P and Ctrl-V. There's a whole long list here
