universcroll
Description
With scroll(1) and default binds (as of 0.8.4), how to scroll?
- Inside alt screen? Mouse{4,5} to scroll {Up,Down}. :)
- Outside alt screen? Shift+Mouse{4,5} to scroll {Up,Down}. :(
With universcroll patch, always use Mouse{4,5} to scroll {Up,Down}.
Doesn't matter alt screen or not. No more ^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^E^E^E^E^E!
universcroll-example on top of universcroll makes some extra
changes:
- Set scroll program = "scroll"
- Mouse wheel scroll enabled only with NO_MOD.
- Mouse wheel zoom enabled with ShiftMask/ANY_MOD.

Notes
In the provided config, both Mouse{4,5} and Shift+{PageUp,PageDown}
emit {\033[5;2~,\033[6;2~}. In default scroll(1) config, those
sequences scroll {Up,Down} by full page each time (like TTY). This is
maybe not desired behavior.
You can change st(1) config to use different sequences and define how scroll(1) responds to sequences in scroll(1)'s config.
In st(1) config, some keys are defined to send certain sequences in
key[]. Inside mshortcuts[] and shortcuts[], use function ttysend
with argument {.s = ""} to send sequences.
My settings: //st { XKNOMOD, Button4, ttysend, {.s = "\033[1;3A"}, 0, -1 }, { XKNOMOD, Button5, ttysend, {.s = "\033[1;3B"}, 0, -1 }, //scroll {"\033[1;3A", SCROLLUP, 3}, /Mod1+Up/ {"\033[1;3B", SCROLLDOWN, 3}, /Mod1+Down/
Bugs
Non-readline shell (zsh, fish) can have prompt issues with scroll(1) (Scrolling down by line after scrolling up, among other things). More problems with non-PS1 prompt.

universcroll was made possible by
scrollback-mouse-altscreen. All alt screen detection
code is from that patch.
