Those horrid alt-buffer init and exit strings in terminfo and termcap are the bane of my existence. I almost never want that behavior, particularly when I've got a relevant section of a man page on the screen and want it to STAY THERE when I quit out of the pager. I use -X in less, but I really want a more universal solution, so I use a terminal type that doesn't have those strings, usually xterm-noapp. But it's not always available. I'm not sure what you mean about -X and mouse scrolling.

Put something like this into your .Xresources: For URxvt: ! Ctrl-Shift-A will show alternate screen URxvt.keysym.C-S-A: command:\033[?47h ! Ctrl-Shift-Z will return to regular screen URxvt.keysym.C-S-Z: command:\033[?47l For XTerm: ! Ctrl-Shift-Z will toggle alternate screen VT100translations: #override \n\ Ctrl Shift <KeyPress> z: set-altscreen(toggle)
