Help maintaining this Package

[NHDaly]

Hi friends! :)

Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to maintain this package of late. I haven't been keeping up to date with the latest tmux in a long time. My setup mostly works, and I haven't been spending much time tweaking it anymore.

Would any of you active users be interested in joining maintenance of this package? If so, please let me know, either via an email or a comment here! Thanks!

CC: @iamjamestl and @giddie, you have both done great development work on this package. Would you be interested in joining as a Maintainer / Collaborator? Thanks for all your help so far! :)

I'd like to contribute but I'm not up to speed on this codebase yet.

What I can report is that for tmux, somewhere between the tmux 3.0 tag (commit c7397724) and master the functionality of set -g @scroll-without-changing-pane "on" breaks for me. It does appear that the other configurations that I set are continuing to work.

[unphased]

@scroll-speed-num-lines-per-scroll seems to only affect alternate buffer emulated scrolling speed, and does not affect copy mode/history scroll speed. (Readme is not clear on whether this is a bug or not)

Sorry, it looks like I haven't used this plugin since upgrading to tmux 3.0_a. I remember that they changed some stuff with the way the mouse works, and as a result it's been working fine for me for a while now without this plugin.

I'd be very interested in knowing what usecases might still be broken for others, though?

Haha oh good, well i'm glad to hear that then! I've just kept it installed, but i don't know where it helps and where it doesn't.

As @unphased pointed out, I don't think @scroll-speed-num-lines-per-scroll works anymore. And I've noticed scrolling doesn't work in git log anymore, where I think it used to? But yeah i'm not too sure either. I just know that there are several open issues that I haven't responded to:

• emulate-scroll-for-no-mouse-alternate-buffer not working for git log #27
• scroll-speed-num-lines-per-scroll only works with whole numbers now #39
• emulate-scroll-for-no-mouse-alternate-buffer not working? #40
• ...

So git log scrolling works just fine for me currently with tmux 3.0_a without this plugin. I do use the tmux-scroll-copy-mode plugin with @prevent-scroll-for-fullscreen-alternate-buffer on, but I think that's probably not relevant.

huh, good to know. Maybe this package can just be parked if it's not really needed on 3.0 anymore? That would be great! This only existed as a stopgap while waiting for better mouse support in tmux itself anyway

Tested on macOS Catalina 10.15.3 with tmux 3.0a. scroll-without-changing-pane, scroll-speed-num-lines-per-scroll, and emulate-scroll-for-no-mouse-alternate-buffer work. git log scrolling does not work without this plugin.

That's interesting. I use Konsole; maybe the terminal emulator itself makes a difference here?

[unphased]

More often than not, git log is displayed in less; many terminals do emulate keypad controls based on mouse scroll.
