I regularly redirect the output of anything to a file and then read the
file.
For example a long listing of files like this:
ls -1 > res
The -1 switch of ls is for a single column because multiple columns are
confusing to read with a screen-reader.
And then nano the res file. Delete it immediately of course.

that this method captures all of the output which is useful when a
command ouputs several screens worth of text, and it's a real life
saver when using a command-line compiler and a small error near the
top of the output causes several screens of false errors that go away
once the error at the top is corrected.
