> A lot of times they're hitting pause because they want to read what I'm typing in the terminal.

In the DOS days the Pause button on your keyboard would actually stop the text being scrolled (if you had a multi-page output). I wonder if Windows (or well any desktop OS) can have a feature where that button would freeze frame the display.



Could probably do it today with autohotkey or similar; take screenshot and display full screen borderless.

Very confusing when you click on the screenshot though.
