[Mac OS X] Remove the scrollbar but not the buffer from Terminal

Remove the scrollbar but not the buffer from Terminal

Coming from a Linux background, I miss having a terminal window that had a buffer but did not display a scrollbar. Terminal previously would not allow you to have one without the other.

While setting up a special terminal window, I noticed that the .term files have a separate entry for the scrollbar and the buffer. While the GUI combines these, you can go into the .term file itself and turn off the scroll bar and keep the buffer!

[robg adds: To make this work, first you'll need to create a saved Terminal using File -> Save. Hopefully it saves in the default location (your user's Library -> Application Support -> Terminal folder). This allows the saved Terminal to be used from the File -> Library menu. Regardless of where it's saved, once you have a saved Terminal, open it in your favorite editor and search for:

<key>Scrollbar</key>
<string>YES</string>

Change the YES to NO, save the file, and then open it in Terminal. You should now have a window with scrollback but without the scrollbar.]
