Bug#921537: gnome-terminal: mouse wheel scrolling sends 6 key up / key down escape sequences (kcuu1 / kcud1) in alternate screen

[Egmont Koblinger]

Hi,

You can disable this behavior with:

  printf '\e[?1007l'

See "Alternate Scroll Mode" at
https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html .

> This is potentially destructive, as what these <up> and <down> keys do depend on the application.

You're right, I can't argue with this. Many times it's pretty
convenient though, e.g. inside "less".


cheers,
