Ask your question!

The default behavior when scroll use mouse wheel is too quickly for me, what i expected is a more slowly, smoothly experiences, just like konsole.

I could not found the docs for this, there is no scrolling event list on default-mouse-assignments, but when i disable all mouse event use config.disable_default_mouse_bindings = true, mouse wheel was disabled too, so i consider the document need to update?

Thanks

Just faced the same! For me it scrolls the page way too high in a single scroll up. I can see actions to set scroll amount, but no binding for mouse scroll. There's middle down but that's obviously not it.

I just encountered this myself, but found out how to modify it:

local act = wezterm.action

-- Change mouse scroll amount
config.mouse_bindings = {
  {
    event = { Down = { streak = 1, button = { WheelUp = 1 } } },
    mods = 'NONE',
    action = act.ScrollByLine(-3),
  },
  {
    event = { Down = { streak = 1, button = { WheelDown = 1 } } },
    mods = 'NONE',
    action = act.ScrollByLine(3),
  },
}

This scrolls by 3 lines up and down, which it turns out was what my previous terminal was doing.

I found the ScrollByLine action in the KeyAssignment part of the documentation. There are others there, like ScrollByPage, ScrollToTop and ScrollToBottom which are interesting as well.

Cool, i found the example code for WheelUp, WheelDown appear on the [document)(https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/config/mouse.html#configuring-mouse-assignments) just now, i probably ignore those code before, And I don't know be can use mods as NONE before, thanks.

🤔 This doesn't seem to work for me on MacOS.

The problem I have is that Wezterm (and some other apps, depending) have weird scroll issues as MacOS touchpad software is a bit janky sometimes.

Can I also disable left/right mouse scroll (this is a touchpad), as it seems a bit too sensitive with less, etc.

Normal wezterm scrollback touchpad scrolling up/down is fine (eg scrolling outside of a pager).

I'm unable to scroll at all, except for the history, which does not make sense to me.

On MacOS?

Yes. When I scroll with the mouse, I am actually scrolling through the history of the commands I typed.
