I believe VTE (gnome-terminal) converts mouse wheel events to up/down key events when it's in the alternate screen mode. This allows mouse-wheel scrolling in less, for example (I don't think less is enabling the mouse, it just sees up and down key codes). In Vim this has the effect of moving the cursor up or down a few lines when Vim is not configured to use the mouse. When Vim is configured to use the mouse it scrolls the page, of course. I'm not completely clear on the problem being discussed in this thread, but I don't think the mouse wheel effect has much to do with the Shift-PageUp/PageDown issue. As far as I can tell, VTE doesn't pass any code through to the application for that (even in alternate screen buffer mode, where perhaps it should). Shift-Up/Down, on the other hand, are passed to the application. I'm not sure if terminfo exposes them, however. -Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What You Don't Know About Data Connectivity CAN Hurt You This paper provides an overview of data connectivity, details its effect on application quality, and explores various alternative solutions. http://p.sf.net/sfu/progress-d2d _______________________________________________ tmux-users mailing list tmux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tmux-users
