As I’ll probably need to give up on Alacritty on my new laptop (GPU acceleration seems not to go well with Radeon), I replaced it with st from Suckless. Can’t check how it behaved on my previous machine (formatted, given away to my daughter), but here I can’t scroll the content which doesn’t fit in the window. Is this a normal behaviour? Does the scrollback patch apply also to the mouse, or to the keyboard only?
There is a second patch for mouse scrollback. Apply the mouse scrollback after applying the scrollback patch.
OMG, this does not suck less! Thanks!
Personally I don’t need it anymore, if you need some output to be scrollable and searchable pipe it into less
, if the output is not something that can be captured in this way (make!) use a terminal multiplexer like tmux or gnu-screen. Just takes a bit of getting used to.
Matter of taste. As you know, I’m more into gui and stuff like that. Just installed lxterminal.
