Hi list,
I have a problem with the scrolling behaviour of mrxvt. It seems, that
the [-si|+si] option (inhibit scrolling on tty output -
[scrollTtyOutputInhibit]) behavior is not what I expect.
I have a fast growing logfile and want to inspect things with the `tail
-f logfile` command. When scrolling in mrxvt through the file displayed
with the `tail -f` command, I want to stop at any position to have a
closer look. To suppress scrolling when new data arrives I configured
(and tried it to with the command-line options -si) mrxvt in the .mrxvt
dot-file with the Option:
Mrxvt.scrollTtyOutputInhibit: True
But when new data arrives, the screen scrolls down. For example if 3 new
lines where written to the logfile, mrxvt scrolls 3 lines down. With
Mrxvt.scrollTtyOutputInhibit: False
mrxvt scrolls down to the bottom of the logfile. It looks like mrxvt
fixes the DELTA increment between the actual scroll-position and the
BOTTOM of the output. What I want mrxvt to do is to fix the DELTA
increment between the actual scroll-position and the TOP of the output
(like kde konsole does).
"Mrxvt.scrollbarAlign: top" seems to have no influence on solving the
problem.
In other words: What i want is a "frozen" display, while scrolling
through a growing output in mrxvt and only updatet output while beeing
at the bottom with the scrollbar.
Maybe some of you have an idea how to help me, thank you, hu
