#Iterm2 mouse scroll code#

Can finally turn back to my life-long three-year-long battle with init.el. So in all I'm quite happy with the setup now and really appreciate the iTerm2 app. From time to time I use my mouse to navigate the cursor to a certain point as well and I just use alt+click to to do it in iTerm2. Now mouse wheel helps me navigating long files really easily and it looks quite smooth. I also have C-S- and C-S- bound to scroll-down-line and scroll-up-line, and have iTerm2 send the control sequence of C-S- and C-S- for mouse wheel events in alternate screen mode.

For example, if I want to send C-., I would need to send ^[[46 5u where 46 is the ASCII code for '.' and 5 stands for the control modifier and u denotes this convention (?).īut things did not go all smoothly. I checked the CSI u link and it gave me a pretty good idea of how things are interpreted. However I had to figure out what escape sequence emacs can understand. In terms of key bindings / sequences, the emulator I use (iTerm2) allows sending arbitrary text/escape sequence for a key combination. Today I decided I'm gonna stick with TTY and try my best to make things better. Also I use default emacs key bindings and 'scrolling' with C-n or C-v either hurts my pinky finger or makes me lose my sense of direction in the code. However I do miss several key-bindings that does not work OOTB. I do not mind the minor degradation of graphics. TTY + SSH: This is the most responsive way and I do not need to change things in my usual workflow. But again, I could not work out things like lsp server locally or remotely. SSHFS: Things are fine, only opening files are a bit laggy.

I like the concept of it, but just don't think it would ALL work well. For example, I could not have elpy / lsp server run and communicate correctly. I cannot run many tools on the laptop and running them remotely constantly breaks things. TRAMP: just simply too many things not working. I wish I could have stadia-like experience. X-forwarding / remote desktop: I tried chrome-remote-desktop and XPRA (really cool thing), but the lag is just not negligible. (Please ignore the following bullet points if you don't care about the things I tried besides TTY emacs) Days ago I posted this to ask about TTY vs TRAMP and started exploring different options and still find tty + ssh the best fit for me. My daily routine now involves accessing a linux workstation from a macbook. Please forgive me if something like this is already shared or is common knowledge, but I did not find much with google search and feel like sharing it.
