Run nano/vim on ecode's built-in terminal emulator - part 2

[ghost]

Can you make the scroll bar work?

I found that the scroll bar doesn’t work (there’s no scroll bar available at all). In a standalone terminal emulator, you can use the scroll bar to scroll through long text in nano, just like you would use a scroll bar in any graphical application.

p/s: the scroll bar is available and working just fine outside of nano.

The scrollbar in nano needs to be explicitly activated and does not support mouse: nano --indicator will display it. Scrollbars in alt screen mode are not controlled by the terminal emulator, there's no such thing as scroll-buffer in that context. Same goes for any program that runs in alt screen (vim, neovim, helix, whatever). You'll have to find how to activate or use them in each case.

I can confirm nano --indicator does show the scroll bar. But this scroll back doesn't work.

Let's forget about the scroll bar. I have found another issue:

You can't use the mouse to select anything inside nano. Not even a single line or a single word.

This works fine in other terminal emulators.

I have used Linux and FreeBSD in CLI mode (no graphical interface). This is exactly like what it is like in their virtual terminals.

Note: I didn't enable stuff like moused on FreeBSD so it's practically no mouse available to use in the virtual terminals.

nano doesn't detect the mouse, otherwise the mouse cursor will change inside nano.

It seems nano simply doesn't like the ecode built-in terminal emulator. The same version of nano works fine in other terminal emulators.

Fixed selection in nano by detecting current application mouse features (nano has none).

Let's forget about nano, too.
