Description
Powershell and Cmd have a feature called "quickedit" that pauses writes to stdout. This enables a user to "pause" the execution of a process that's spewing text to the console. This is helpful when you want to pause execution to study some part of the ongoing logs.

It would be nice if Hyper supported this as well.
