This is probably of the least concern right now, but would be handy to implement that as well. (Not a mandatory feature of a terminal after all). Also, how the hell a user is supposed to interact with it?

But even if, should Alternative buffer have scrollback capability as well?

Alternative buffer does not have a scrollback buffer. Although some terminals have this option. For example, Apple Terminal.

This allows the user to have two independent contexts

  • context with a scrollbuffer
  • static frame context

Right, thanks. I wasn't sure about the w rollback buffer in alternative mode.
I need to define a way the user of notcurses library could scroll through it. Probably a function or something, but surely won't work with just any ncplane. I'm starting to think VT maybe will end up as a widget instead.
