Scrolling the output of appcapappendmemo
« on: April 23, 2010, 11:25 AM »
I'd really like appcapappendmemo, if it wasn't for one thing - once the memo area is full, new text is added at the bottom, but the area is not scrolled to show the latest text. So the user has to scroll to the bottom manually, and it's no use for programs that show an ongoing status message (for example, ping -t).

How easy would it be to add scroll-to-bottom behaviour to appcapappendmemo - either as an option or as default behaviour?

Thanks,
Paul.

right now it ALWAYS scrolls as lines are added.. we might want to add an ability to turn that off; in fact i'm sure we want to add an ability to only do that if you are at bottom already, otherwise you wont be able to manually browse while lines are being added.

Any chance this toggle has been implemented?  I have a help file accessed from within appcapappendmemo and it takes a while until it finishes loading the entire report. In the mean time, I can't scroll or do anything.
