Unable to scroll in less and most

[MuhammedZakir]

I am unable to scroll in less and most, but I am able to do it in Vim. Is this is a bug, or is this not implemented?

P.S. I am using wezterm (20201101-103216-403d002d-235-gbd614b5e) on Manjaro (X11).

What do you mean by scroll? Please describe clearly what action you are taking, what you expect to happen, and what actually happened!

Someone also brought up scrolling over here: https://matrix.to/#/!RibfHDCcaAAcGCkNEM:gitter.im/$YuhdRuRpNhLLI7ZGDD-_ncP29M5Xf3IQvwyVe-h_puE?via=gitter.im&via=matrix.org

It looks like there's been a regression in the logic that maps the wheel to the cursor keys when the alt screen is active

I've pushed a commit that should show up in the nightly builds in the next hour or two

When I couldn't scroll, I checked wezterm doc to see if I need to enable any option for it work. Then I found this - "SGR style mouse reporting (works in vim and tmux)", in Features page. So I tested scrolling in Vim to see if it's working, and for me, scrolling in Vim was working. Probably because I have this in my config:

 if has('mouse_sgr')
  set ttymouse=sgr
endif
set mouse=vi

This made me confused over whether this works only if this "SGR" is supported. That's why, I asked whether scrolling in others is currently implemented/supported or not. I admit that I don't know anything about this.

Edit: I just found out scrolling in Vim is only working in wezterm nightly. It is not working in normal release. That's probably why it didn't work for that user in Matrix room.

Edit-2: I was wrong. See below.

It's working now. But when compared to other terminals (e.g. Konsole, Yakuake), scrolling is slow. Is there anything I can do to increase scrolling speed?

I'm surprised you say that, I'm using neovim with the config set mouse=nv, and mouse scrolling and selection has always been working in wezterm normal releases

That's weird. Are you using latest release? Because I was using nightly release, I had to install wezterm-bin AUR package for testing. So I am not sure why we are getting different results. Maybe I did something wrong? I will test this again and report back soon.

Edit: Silly me! 😬 When testing, I tried scrolling in normal mode whereas I only enabled mouse in insert and visual modes. Sorry!

Re: questions about scroll speed, I've opened #432 to track that as an enhancement request.

Let's close this since the original issue is resolved!
