Certainly for VT100 they do not - you can define the scroll region, but it's strictly "between line x and y" or "the whole screen" and you can only scroll up/down the entire region.
The article only address smooth scrolling of entire lines. How do you "scroll only the buffer on the right side of the screen"?
- j4_james 3y agoOn later DEC terminals you could also set left and right margins (lookup DECSLRM). They didn't support smooth scrolling when those margins were enabled, but I don't see why a modern terminal emulator couldn't handle that.
