Indeed, if the app window is larger than the terminal screen, this is a problem, especially if it is something like a tile manager. The current approach to moving/exposing windows needs to be changed.
I've implemented the following logic (https://github.com/directvt/vtm/blob/958db264076b36ff3ae5a6b535ee8c194e26e52c/doc/user-interface.md)
What do you think?
Sensible and works fine.
I would also suggest to have mouse-bindings to move viewport in any cases. Since drag moving is disabled inside an app window with native mouse support (like htop
), it is difficult to change viewport, move or resize the window when the window has taken up then screen.
The binding could be Alt-RightDrag
if available.
You could use LeftDrag on taskbar to move viewport.
I added information about LeftDrag on taskbar to tooltips and user-interface.md
.

desktop view area is always changed when a partially out-of-view window is activated from the task bar.This makes it difficult to handle app windows that are larger than the terminal screen - the prompt line is often out of the screen when activating the app window through task bar.
Is it possible not to adjust view area on a single click on the task bar entry?
