   You know what, in the past I absolutely hated this idea. It is one of those things that made it harder for the console to achieve parity with linux terminals.

   Now I'm thinking that it might be okay in a limited fashion. There'd still only be one mutable viewport, but in scrollForward mode, we'd let you scroll the viewport down (height-1) lines from the bottom line. I think everything in the Terminal's VT implementation already uses the mutable viewport's corrdinates, rather than the visible viewport, so this might be okay.

   The tricky case would be scrolling forward at the bottom of the buffer - there'd be no extra lines there, so we'd have to add them as the user tried to scroll forward. That'd be weird.

   Something like scrollBeyondLastLine from VS Code will be certainly wonderful:

   

   https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings

     // Controls whether the editor will scroll beyond the last line.
     "editor.scrollBeyondLastLine": true,

    Nope. If you/someone would like to help contribute a fix here, I'd be happy to start pointing you in the right direction. But I (honestly) don't think we'll be able to get to this for a very long time.

    Note

    Walkthrough

    (in progress)

    • _scrollOffset in Terminal.cpp/hpp is what controls the distance up from the mutable viewport the user has scrolled. So scroll one line up, and the value is 1. This should be changed to also allow negative values.
    • We shouldn't allow scroll-forward in the alt buffer (for things like vim)
    • Tricky edge case: how do we deal with scroll-forward when the buffer is full? There's literally not lines in the buffer to render at that point. We'd probably have to somehow fake it in the RenderData, or just prevent scroll-forward in that case entirely
    • Once that all works, create a profile setting in MTSMSettings and plumb that through to the TermControl

    Any progression on this task? it would be really helpful to have this option. Thanks

    I think this is a perfectly reasonable nudge. Having said that thank you for your candid response Mike Griese (@zadjii-msft)
