LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Problem with scrolling in Xterm

Due to incompatibilities between w3mimgdisplay and Roxterm I am again on the try to switch to Xterm.
Works so far, but scrolling is a major show-stopper.

To enable scrolling using the mouse-wheel in programs like Vim I had to add these lines to my .Xresources file:

Code:

xterm*vt100.translations: #override\n\                                        

<Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>: string("^[[A")\n\                                        

<Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>: string("^[[B")\n\

Using that scrolling worked fine in Vim, but instead of scrolling in the plain Xterm it now scrolls through the command history, totally unwanted behavior. Shift+PgUp/PgDown keys have no function in that mode.

Doing a web-search revealed that this should work, so i changed the config file:

Code:

xterm*vt100.translations: #override\n\                                        

<Btn4Down>,<Btn4Up>: string("^P")\n\                                          

<Btn5Down>,<Btn5Up>: string("^N")\n\

Works also (although a bit awkward) in Vim, but in plain Xterm I only get the ^N and ^P characters when using the mouse-wheel.

So I wanted to start that over and removed both, with the end result that I now for a millisecond can see Xterm scrolling up when moving the wheel in that direction, but immediately followed by the output of ^P characters, which of course caused an scroll-down to the last line. At least using Shift+PgUp/PgDown keys work in that mode, but having mouse scrolling would be really nice.

I really could need some help from Xterm users with the proper configuration of scrolling using the mouse-wheel without scrolling through command history.

Thanks in advance.
