12.4 Reviewing The Term Screen

The Emacsvox review pointer is independent of the terminal cursor, so reviewing old screen text does not send keys or move the child application. These core commands keep the normal C-t prefix:

C-t .

Move the review pointer to the terminal cursor and announce its coordinates.

C-t p
C-t n

Move the review pointer to the previous or next line and speak it. The Up and Down arrow keys are equivalent after the C-t prefix.

C-t LEFT
C-t RIGHT

Move the pointer by a character and speak the character reached.

C-t M-b
C-t M-f

Move the pointer backward or forward by a word and speak it.

C-t l
C-t w
C-t c

Speak the line, word, or character at the review pointer without moving it.

C-t SPC

Speak from the review pointer to the current end of the Term buffer.

C-t s

Prompt for text, search forward from the review pointer, and speak the matching line.

In character mode, C-t q enters dedicated review mode. The terminal stops receiving ordinary keys while this review keymap is active. Use p, n, the arrow keys, M-b, M-f, l, w, c, and s without the C-t prefix; press q to return to character mode. To copy reviewed text, press m at one endpoint, move the pointer, and press y to copy the region to the kill ring.

The integration also supports named rectangular screen regions and focus or filter windows. Those are advanced, coordinate-based facilities; inspect the live C-h m output and the generated module reference before using them.
