Terminus: Scrollbars

[naeemrashid]

It would be good to have scrollbars so that user can scroll up and down easily.

I'm able to scroll on Windows without issue. Do you have anything in your $PSProfile that would affect console behavior/shell size?

@naeemkhan12 which shell are you using?

I'm able to scroll with mouse but not with trackpad.

Are you able to scroll with your mouse or are you concerned with the lack of a scroll bar on the side?

[naeemrashid]

As it is difficult to scroll with touch-pad of laptop so scroll bar is what i am concerned with 😸 .

Scrollbars would be a great idea as some of the many users faces the issues with touch pad in linux. BTW +1 for the terminus its awesome.

Looks like manipulating the scroll position inside of hterm is actually pretty easy. You can get a handle on the frame, and then the screen component.

frame.contentDocument.querySelector('x-screen').scrollTo(0, 0);

^ Seems to work exactly as expected, which means building a scrollbar component that interacts with hterm screen should be fairly straightforward. I'll take a crack at it and see if I can get something working.

Okay, I've got basic functionality working for a scrollbar

xterm frontend will be the default in the future and has a built-in scrollbar, and hterm scrollbar plugin is availabile, so I'm closing this for now.
