From b05ad74fe6d42ce0f913e02ef633ca119fc0b43e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Wilm Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2018 07:45:10 -0700 Subject: Disable scroll buffer for "alt" Grid The scroll history size for the alternative grid (used by fullscreen apps such as vim and tmux) is now forced to zero. There are two motivations for this change: 1. According to the literature, the alt screen should not have scroll history. 2. Reduce memory consumption by only allocating the single scroll history. In the future, it may be desirable to support a configuration option to enable a scroll buffer for the alt screen. By launching without this feature, we can delay a decision about whether to officially support this or not. --- src/term/mod.rs | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src') diff --git a/src/term/mod.rs b/src/term/mod.rs index 67d34be1..9f8506d1 100644 --- a/src/term/mod.rs +++ b/src/term/mod.rs @@ -849,13 +849,13 @@ impl Term { let history_size = config.scrolling().history as usize; let grid = Grid::new(num_lines, num_cols, history_size, Cell::default()); + let alt = Grid::new(num_lines, num_cols, 0 /* scroll history */, Cell::default()); let tabspaces = config.tabspaces(); let tabs = IndexRange::from(Column(0)..grid.num_cols()) .map(|i| (*i as usize) % tabspaces == 0) .collect::>(); - let alt = grid.clone(); let scroll_region = Line(0)..grid.num_lines(); Term { -- cgit
