Setup your terminal to not scroll when there is new output

Posted . Visible to the public.

When you are scrolling up to investigate a test failure it is super annoying when the terminal scrolls back down whenever the running test outputs another line. Luckily you can disable this behavior:

  • Gnome terminal: *Edit -> Profile preferences -> Scrolling", uncheck Scroll on output
  • Terminator: Right click on terminal screen, Preferences -> Profile -> (for each profile) -> Scrolling, uncheck Scroll on output
