Option to turn off smooth movements #234

Closed pmontrasio closed 10 years ago

pmontrasio commented 10 years ago

Typing text and scrolling the terminal when pressing Return happens in the way that browsers call "smooth scrolling". Maybe that's not slow (I didn't time it) but it looks slow. Furthermore it is disturbing when typing because it gives me the impression of not seeing the character I type as soon as I type it. It would be nice to have an option of turning off this feature and get instantaneous response like we are used to have in Gnome Terminal.

The cursor animation can already be disabled by setting cursor-motion-speed to 0 at https://github.com/p-e-w/finalterm/blob/master/data/Themes/default/default.fttheme#L45.

As for the scrolling, I'm not sure whether that is possible using the Mx ScrollView, which is quite the black box in many ways.

Thank you. I did that and it works. The smooth vertical scrolling is not as annoying.
