This post reminds me of my history scrolling code;-)

I've implemented such a history scroll function in sf.net/projects/zhcon in 2000.

The trick here is to maintain a round up history buffer and push each new line
in it. Also a new flag is needed to indicate whether we are in history
mode(can be dismissed when new char arrives).

When we are in history mode any control key such as
C-UP,C-DOWN,S-UP,S-DOWN is treated specially to control history review.

See the attachment for an idea.

I just do not have time on gterm project these days. Any of you could do
such hack, it's not vary hard. You may need to see the source
(console.cpp) of zhcon for more ideas.
