Scrolling through terminal output is hard

Open lu4p opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Problem description

Scrolling through terminal output feels weird. I do seem to have some muscle memory from other apps and scrolling behavior in termux is just so surprising to me that it's (almost) unusable.

Maybe it's just that termux scrolls line by line, but could also be some additional custom scroll logic.

Steps to reproduce the behavior.

  1. Get yourself some long terminal output (idk install a few packages) on the screen (min. 2x screen height).

  2. Run a command with output you're interested in.

  3. Add the output of some more "polluting" commands (min. 2x screen height).

  4. Try to copy something from the output you're interested in.

What is the expected behavior?

No response

System information

  • Termux application version: 0.118.0

  • Device model: doesn't matter

Define "unusable".

Works fine on my devices, don't have any usability issue. Yes, the scrolling is done per line as terminal buffers are per line, that cannot be changed.
