  • Re: IcyTerm 0.8.0 - even more ICE

    Nope, my BBS software doesn't support mouse tracking. Or is this an icyterm thing? Where would I disable it?

    I looked at it - there is mouse tracking enabled. IDK where to disable it. Good question. But it's in VT200 mode which means it grabs mouse buttons.

    I have no control over that. No problem with this with other terms that I've noticed. Can this be a per-system option? This was not intentional on the author's end I'm sure. If it's something that is enabled, I can't disable
    it.

    I think I'll add that to 0.8.1 - doing mouse reporting has thi sside effect. Hm syncterm doesnt copy on your system too - because it shares the same issue: mouse reporting.

    So others have the same issue - if they support that - your bbs requests VT200 - so the whole thing. 20fob as well - and yes that sucks. I think I'll even make a per-system opt-in for that - I think it's pretty useless.

    But it's part of the standard...

    Re: Mouse reporting and not being able to select/copy

    In Syncterm you can work around it by opening the scrollback and highlighting there. Can you do the same with IcyTerm? I still haven't been able to try it out :)

    I've added an option to turn that off.No you can't - in icyterm scrollback works without text - it's pixel based. Mostly because of the complexity the problem "Scrollback" is - think of sixel graphics or the other modes rip/igs/skypix etc.

    Or (in SyncTERM) just hit Alt-O to toggle off the mouse capture.
