Hyper: Make mouse wheel events scroll through `less`, `git log` and `get diff` style output

[hharnisc]

Really miss this feature from Terminal.app

When you're viewing scrollable output with Terminal.app you're able to use the mouse wheel or trackpad to scroll through the content.

Terminal.app

HyperTerm

It seems like this might be possible to make a plugin for this, and possibly be a candidate for a default plugin.

Checkout this guys. hyperterm-alternatescroll

This plugin no longer appears to work

[markozxuu]

@matmunn If you are using the canary version it will most likely not work but it should work in the stable version 😸

[orcinus]

@MAPESO It doesn't.

Just tested with our v2 and it works great on macOS.

[orcinus]

Have you tested on Windows?

[chabou]

@orcinus no, the original poster was talking about Terminal.app.
Please open an issue if Windows native terminal handles it and not Hyper.

[orcinus]

Sending scroll and mouse messages to local apps and the remote host is not a Terminal.app specific feature. Right now, things like tmux mouse events, tmux buffer scroll etc. don't work at all in Hyper on Windows. As in there is no mouse messaging support of any sort. It's not a matter of "Windows native terminal handling it" or not handling it. It's a feature missing in Hyper.

Finally, the issue / request as reported was:

Make mouse wheel events scroll through less, git log and get diff style output

not:

Make Hyper behave as Terminal.app on Mac OS

But fine, i'll create a new issue.

Make mouse wheel events scroll through less, git log and get diff style output
It works perfectly on macOS (platform of the original poster). So this issue is fixed.

There is some existing issue with tmux, do not create a new one please.
