I have a SQL process viewed in a buffer in a frame.

When I send SQL-statements from another window in frame to the SQL-process in the another frame, I have to scroll my SQL buffer to see the details of output. When I'm in an another buffer, emacs stops "following" the SQL buffer, i.e., scrolling to automatically display new output.

Any idea how I can "reattach" or encourage Emacs to follow the SQL buffer?

UPDATE: As noted in the replies below, you can set up Emacs to follow the tail of the output again, with to set up the point to the end of the buffer with M->

  • Just put point at the end again... – wasamasa Feb 6 '16 at 13:49
  • @wasamasa what do you mean? I couldn't understand what you mean. – ReneFroger Feb 6 '16 at 14:05
  • Put the cursor at the end of the buffer, like with M->. Any further scrolling should keep it at the end. – wasamasa Feb 6 '16 at 15:22

To make buffers scroll along with newly appended contents, position point at their end (like with M->).
