Learn something new every day: script -r / -p (Updated)
Stefan pointed me at a nice feature of NetBSD's script(1) command
today: It can record a terminal session, and play it back later,
with corresponding timing that shows all pauses etc. - very nice
for showing how something works, but where a simple screenshot
may not be the optimal thing.
For an example of me typing this blog post, download
this file
and play it back with "script -p script-session.blogpost".
Update: I've fixed a few minor typos in this post later
that aren't in the "video". :)
Update #2: Antti hinted me at two other programs that are related:
pkgsrc/misc/ttyrec
(homepage) and
pkgsrc/misc/ipbt
(homepage). Beyond script(1), at least ipbt can
record nethack sessions properly (an essential!), and it has fast-forward
and slow-motion.
