remove aterm scrollbar for ncurses applications

(1/1)

florian:
Obviously not a "bug" but a polishing/cosmetic touch:

when starting a ncurse applications from the tc menus (ie top, vi, xvesa setup, crypto home, terminal server, ...), it would be better to turn off the unused scrollbar (=> add the +sb flag to the aterm invokation). Less screen real-estate used is always good ;)

mikshaw:
I tend to remove the scrollbar from aterm in general, since Shift+PageUp/PageDown and Shift+up/down are easier to use than dragging a scrollbar in my opinion.

In $HOME/.Xdefaults:  Aterm*scrollBar: false

ooh, thank you, i never knew those! (shift+up arrow, shift+down arrow are good too.)

florian:
Removing scrollbar in general case is a question of taste by each user.

However setting explicitely +sb makes a sense for ncurse apps launched by menus because there scroll bar has no function whatsoever.

Sounds good to me.
