I guess the question is how "complex" a scrollback for st would be. I'm
all for modularizing a problem, but sometimes, it makes more sense to
just build it into a program itself.
I made my points about why I think a scrollback buffer makes sense and
I respect your opinion very much! I'd love to see more opinions on that
to be honest. Maybe we can just wait and see if the first patch
submitted here will be a "stsb" implementation or a patch for st to
implement scrollback, and decide based on that.
With best regards
Laslo
