Hi, first of all, nice project!

I'd like to be able to use the mouse wheel to scroll the viewport. As far as I can see, ScratchABit would have to:

[ ] announce its interest in mouse scroll events to the terminal
[ ] interpret the control sequences for scroll up/down
[ ] pass those events down into the Editor view and handle them similar to page up/down events

Ok, If we switch to the X11 mouse protocol, and enable Alternate Scroll mode, we can receive events for buttons 4 and 5, which are the scroll wheel.

(the picotui repo may be a better place for this discussion)

Thanks for trying ScratchABit, feel free to share more of your impressions.

Indeed, majority of the functionality would need to be implemented in picotui, SAB would just handle the picotui events.

I have a mostly working patch. I'll polish it a bit and then make a pull request.
