This article describes a function or feature of the software ZOC Terminal. The feature or element of the software described here is 'View Menu'. ZOC Terminal is a professional terminal emulator that is well known for its extensive features, security, user friendlyness, wide range of emulations and quality of emulation implementation. ZOC Terminal is a common choice to replace other terminal emulators like Putty, Kitty, Termius, Secure-CRT, Attachmate Extra!and others.
In the View menu you will find functions that have to do with screen display etc.
Probably the most used function will be the scroll back view. It is a memory buffer that stores the lines that scrolled off the top edge of the screen. A similar function is the Data Stream Viewer, which captures and views data exactly in the order it was received or to show Session Profile→Trace/Debug data.

This function shows the contents of the scrollback buffer inside
the main window to see text that has scrolled off the screen.
| |
| Scroll Back as Window | |
Alternately to scrolling back inside the main window, it is possible
to open a scrollback in a separate window, thus being able to see
current and scrolled text at the same time.
The font for the window is selected in
Options→Program Settings→Scrollback
| |
| Find in Scroll Buffer | |
Searches and highlights text within the scrollback buffer.
| |
| Clear Scroll Buffer | |
Clears the scrollback buffer. Whether ZOC asks before clearing is set in
Options→Program Settings→Prompts/Safety.
| |
| Scroll Buffer to Editor | |
Saves the scrollback buffer to file and opens the file in an editor.
| |
| Show Data Stream Viewer | |
Shows the data stream viewer window. The data stream viewer is similar to
scroll back, but shows session data in the order that it was received. It
can also show trace/debug data (e.g. to show incoming data as hex, see
Session Profile→Trace/Debug).
| |

in Options→Session Profile→Window Parts.

This entry in the Window Elements submenu shows or hides the Snippets window. ZOC monitors your input data stream for filenames and Internet addresses and collects them in a little window that floats aside the ZOC window. The visibility is also an option in Options→Session Profile→Window Parts.

double clicking it with the mouse.
