I'm finding this difficult to explain because I'm not sure what this is called technically so please bear with me.What I want (which is possible in PuTTY):1) Login to a machine (using PuTTY)2) $ cat /some/file[contents of the /some/file shown on screen]3) $ vim4) Press Shift + Page UpResult: I can see [contents of the /some/file ] and everything else that was shown on the screen before I entered vim.Now if I try the same thing in Mobaxterm, which is another terminal application on Windows, I don't get to see the output of the previous commands; it only scrolls the file that I opened in vim which is not what I want.I tried to echo $TERM from both PuTTY and Mobaxterm, and they both show xterm as the output, so I'm not sure what's different in PuTTY.
MobaXterm: How to see previous commands' terminal output while still being in VIM? (Equivalent of 'Shift + Page Up' in PuTTY)
