Elisp has something similar with (recenter-top-bottom), but eshell overrides this by going to the window's bottom again. > how about filling the window with blank > lines instead, so that the old contents are out of sight, but still > reachable? Would that make sense? Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that :(. Although, I think that can be done with getting the number of lines between (point-max) and the top of the window, and then inserting these many newlines. -- Vibhav Pant vibhavp@gmail.com
