I'd like to be able to scroll htop just like I scroll when using the less command.
If this is a feature, it's not working on OS X's default Terminal app.

Are you using ncurses 6? (check which file you have, libncurses.so.5 or libncurses.so.6). Scrolling only works using ncurses 6.

Even the very latest OS X currently only comes with a libncurses.5.4.dylib.

I don't know if a self-compiled ncurses 6 in OSX would make the scroll wheel work, but it would be nice to have this information. (To anyone willing to try this: be careful not to mess with your system's libncurses 5 in the process!)

I've just tested that. It works indeed. In my case, the sensitivity is too high to make it all that much fun, but it works.

Works fine with ncurses6 on Mac. For homebrew users, it's simple now:
brew install ncurses
brew install --with-ncurses htop
This will leave the system ncurses alone, and tells the htop build to use the separate homebrew ncurses.

@edrozenberg works great 馃槂
@pipping The sensitivity is very high, but I also noticed the issue when sshing to a linux box and using htop there. Not sure how to tweak it, any ideas?
