I use mosh + screen, because you can tell screen to act like it has normal scrolling with a simple config and then the only keybinding you need to remember is disconnect.

scrollback 500000
termcapinfo xterm* ti@:te@
There you go, normal scrolling!
- murkt 6y agoThank you very much, I use screen rarely and the thought that screen can be configured has never crossed my brain.
- shakna 6y agoNot much configuration, and slightly annoying that the config file is at $HOME/.screenrc instead of being patched to use an XDG location, but it's "good enough" for my use cases.
- perryizgr8 6y agoDoesn't seem to work for me. I use mosh to start the session, then screen to create a new screen. But this does not scroll using my mouse. I can scroll using Ctrl+A and then arrow keys. But that's not what I'd call normal scrolling.
- shakna 6y agoThen your version of mosh is breaking on termcapinfo. I can't really help on your particular version, but that's not screen breaking. It has told mosh it supports scrolling with the mouse. Case of "works over here".
- perryizgr8 6y agoThanks for the tip anyway. I'll have a place to start investigating the problem.
