what about me?

Out of the box, the pageup and pagedown keys don’t do what I want when I’m running emacs in the OS X Terminall app. They page up and down through the Terminal buffer, rather than the emacs buffer.

Bother you, too? Here’s how to fix it, with thanks to Mac OSX Hints:

$ tcsh
% set echo_style=both
% echo -n "\e[5~ | pbcopy
% exit


In Terminal Inspector (Terminal/Window Settings/Keyboard),

• highlight page down;
• press Edit button;
• select “send string to shell:” from Action list;
• tab into input field;
• paste (apple-v);
• press OK;
• highlight shift page down;
• press Edit button;
• select “scroll to next page in buffer” from Action list;
• press OK;
• highlight shift page up;
• press Edit button;
• select “scroll to previous page in buffer” from Action list;
• press OK;
• press “Use Settings as Defaults” button.
