Package: xterm Version: 278-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
I used gnome-terminal recently and noticed that using the mouse wheel caused scrolling within apps like vim. I thought that was strange, because I disabled mouse support in vim. It turns out gnome-terminal has a feature called "alternate screen scrolling". When you are in the alternate screen, it translates the mouse wheel into three up or down arrow presses. This is obviously a hack, but I want it. (I don't like enabling mouse support in vim because it takes over the mouse entirely, and as far as I understand there is no way for it to only take the wheel.) I thought I might be able to set up my own translations, but I don't think there is a way to define translations that apply only in the alternate screen. Is there another way for me to get this behavior?
