Excellent: it's precisely when there is no history that we want this to happen,
so it
seems there's no problem. In the case of "less", the alternate buffer is
opened,
there is no history, and arrow keys are sent instead of entering copy-mode.
Naturally, text can still be copied with click+drag.
I'm not sure if it's standard behaviour for the alternate buffer to have no
scrollback history? This seems to be what Konsole does, as I mentioned, and so
arrow keys continue to be sent even as the man page is scrolled down.
How feasible is this to implement?
