It was quite broken when it existed. For example if the user switched to another console, scrollback was permanently lost, because the buffer was not console-local. Also when new text was written to the terminal, the console went immediately out of the scrollback review state which made it impossible to scroll back in consoles that received output. But implementing alternate screen and scrollback buffer might have some synergy, because both features require extra buffer for containing screen contents. I nowadays run tmux always in console, so I have excellent per-window scrollback buffers with configurable buffer size. -- Aura _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
