I have bash installed on my W10 laptop, but one thing that is very frustrating is I can not scroll up.
Does anyone know of a way to enable scrolling with the mouse wheel? I could not find anything after many google searches.
Context: If I compile some C++ files and get a lot of errors, I can not scroll up to see all those errors.
As with many things in Linux, the ability to scroll up and down within your terminal depends on the specific terminal you are using. For most users, you should be able to scroll up and down, one line at a time using Shift+UpArrow or Shift+DownArrow. To jump an entire page at a time, try Shift+PageUp or Shift+PageDown.
How to Scroll Up and Down in Linux Terminal. In the Linux terminal, you can scroll up by page using the Shift + PageUp shortcut. And to scroll down in the terminal, use Shift + PageDown. To go up or down in the terminal by line, use Ctrl + Shift + Up or Ctrl + Shift + Down respectively.
You must set Properties
→ Layout
→ Screen Buffer Size
→ Height
to the number of lines you want.
The default was 50 lines. I set it to 1000 and that's enough for me.
Right click the window frame, select "properties" from the contextual menu. In Properties, first tab, in the edit option area, tick the "QuickEditMode". That will allow you to mouse scroll.
