How to scroll up to view the output of system command in Vim

问题

I really like run some system command in vim like

:!rspec

but the annoying thing is I can't scroll up to see the output information

I'm using Macvim in Mac 10.9, anyone know how to do this?

As far as I know, you can't scroll up in output that comes from an external source.

Messages do have a simple scrolling facility but only for the messages over which Vim has full control. See :h messages.

Looking at your screenshot though, I can tell you that you're doing it wrong. Running RSpec through :!rspec is inefficient. Vim has an RSpec compiler in its runtime.

:compiler rspec
:make

Now RSpec output is parsed and filled into your quickfix list for easy navigation.

For even more RSpec power such as asynchronous test runs check out dispatch.vim.
