While we're at it, can we get a "TITE_INHIBIT" or "NO_SECOND_SCREEN"? I must be the only one, but I hate having stuff up on my screen, like from a man page or editing a file, then going back to the command-line and having it disappear. Loved "tite_inhibit" in xterm, but I've moved on to wezterm and I'm tired of dealing with custom termcaps.

- geocar 3y agoI don’t know wezterm but in xterm you can make a button toggle the second screen, and this can be nice for switching between the manual page you were just looking at and the line you are typing into. I also prefer this to having a fucked up scrollback.
- usr1106 3y agoI think that varies case by case. Sometimes "intermediate" output should disappear because it's less interesting than what I had before. Sometimes it should not disappear as you write. To implement that the shell prompt would need to contain a special esacape sequence as a marker and then the user can manually hide the output of the last command. Or to make it even more fancy: Hide and unhide output of any previous command.
