If a standalone scrollback program were good enough, could it be used to replace the scrollback code in tmux, dvtm, xterm? Would that be a good idea? Do you think the developers of these programs would be willing to remove their scrollback code and depend on a standalone scrollback program? DVTM has this really nice feature, the ability to see the scrollback buffer in an editor. I'd like to get access to the scrollback buffer with an editor or pager (like less). I don't want to have to learn a new and different way to search through the scrollback buffer for tmux, dvtm, screen, etc. I already know emacs (pretend I wrote "vi" if that offends you) and less. Duplication of scrollback code also is an opportunity for more bugs. By the way, if I can get access to the scrollback buffer in less, then I automatically get access to it in an editor, because less has the v command.
