feat request: keep on top for output longer than one screen

Open undg opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

This plugin can be very useful for cases with output longer than one screen. It will be nice to read stdout from the top, instead of scrolling the terminal up to the place where a command was written, and making sure that you will not miss that spot like always ;)

Hi, @undg ! Thanks for reaching out. Not sure if I got you. In case you have output bigger that a size of the screen, you will definitely scroll you terminal up or down. If you will read stdout from the top, you will face another problems: you'll have to scroll down to see the "tail" of your output.

This is exactly what I was looking for. For me it's easier to read top to bottom, than scrolling up, looking for the beginning (which can be tricky with long output) and then reading to the bottom.

Reading stdout from the bottom to top is painful. As a workaround I'm piping out to vim or bat, my hope was that this plugin will resolve that problem.
