Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/12569

State: closed
Merged: Yes


"Alternate scroll mode" is a neat little mode where the app wants mouse wheel events to come through as arrow keypresses instead, when in the alternate buffer. Now that we've got support for the alt buffer in the Terminal, we can support this as well.

Tested manually with

printf "\e[?1007h" ; man ps
