Description magiblot 2022-10-29 10:45:07 UTC

SUMMARY

In normal conditions, Shift+PgUp/Shift+PgDn allow traversing the scrollback buffer. However, when a client application enables the alternate screen buffer, scrollback is not available. In this situation, Shift+PgUp/Shift+PgDn keystrokes could be propagated to the client instead of being discarded by Konsole.

Alacritty, for instance, does this. When the alternate buffer is enabled, the client can receive KEY_SPREVIOUS and KEY_SNEXT events.

Thank you very much.

Propagate Shift+PgUp/PgDown in alternate screen

I cannot express this any better than magiblot at the linked bug report:

    In normal conditions, Shift+PgUp/Shift+PgDn allow traversing the
    scrollback buffer. However, when a client application enables the
    alternate screen buffer, scrollback is not available. In this
    situation, Shift+PgUp/Shift+PgDn keystrokes could be propagated to
    the client instead of being discarded by Konsole.
