I'm using Gnome terminal in Mythbuntu 12.04 and mouse-wheel scrolling
works fine for scrolling back and forward through terminal history, but
whenever I view a manpage, the mouse wheel no longer scrolls. I've Googled,
and discovered that man uses less to display the pages, but all the things
I've tried from Googling have failed to solve the issue. I've tried setting
options using the LESS environment variable, lesskey, and played with the
scrolling settings in Gnome terminal, but all to no avail. The same issue
happens in XFCE terminal, so I think it might be something to do with less
rather than the terminal used. Can anyone suggest what might be happening
here or does anyone know of a solution?
man command | cat
where command is the command you want to browse, will dump everything to
the terminal and you can scroll back up through it with the mouse wheel (I
hope),
That's a reasonable workaround. Curiously the problem seems to have
fixed itself now, and I have no idea whether it's because of something I
did or not. I did do a re-install of gnome-terminal - maybe that did it.
