Scrollback support has been discussed, but the short answer is not that I'm aware. That would be helpful. Samuel posted about this, but I think the priority is getting the current kernel patches pushed first. You could try David's Speakup mods, but I couldn't get them to compile on 4.6.4 and you would have to compile your own kernel. > Is there an easy way to change in and out of folders or access files with > long or complicated names? I suggest a file manager. Lynx the cat has this ability, but I like Ranger. It's in Debian and most major distros. There is also ncdu. While it's actually not a file manager, it does let you change folders and perform basic tasks. There are many other options. Search the list archives for a long discussion on this. I would start with Ranger first. Also, I assume you know about tab completion? If you enter part of a file or folder name and press Tab, your shell should either complete the name or beep, indicating there is more than one match. Pressing Tab a second time gives you the list of matches.
