06:44 <brocellous> What's a soft reset?

06:47 <dnkl> brocellous: a reset that doesn't reset as much as a hard reset...

06:47 <brocellous> fair

06:47 <dnkl> there's been quite a lot of guess work of what should be part of a soft vs. hard reset

06:47 <brocellous> reset and tput reset == hard reset in this case, right?

06:49 <brocellous> from the manpage seems like `tput reset` is basically stty sane + output some init or reset strings?

06:49 <brocellous> idk why there are 4 strings though

06:49 <dnkl> me neither. we only define rs1, and it's set to a hard reset

06:52 <brocellous> infocmp foot has something for rs2 on my machine though?

06:52 <brocellous> I just use the terminfo from ncurses

06:53 <brocellous> Looks like this is the soft reset

06:54 <dnkl> yeah, that's a soft reset, and disable insert mode, for some reason

06:55 <dnkl> (it's usually disabled anyway)

06:59 <brocellous> Anyway I do have a question, if I can figure out how to ask it. Is it possible for me to sorta "reset" the scroll, so that when typing new input I don't get automatically scrolled down, if I was scrolled up?

07:00 <brocellous> The situation is, I have a mostly clear terminal with shell prompt at the top left, then I press keybind for prompt-prev to scroll up once to the previous prompt

07:00 <brocellous> if I type any new input at the point, it scrolls automatically such that the prompt made visible by prompt-prev is no longer visible

07:03 <brocellous> I'm wondering if there is anything I can do between prompt-prev and my next input, that will prevent foot from automatically scrolling it out of sight while I'm typing.

07:04 <dnkl> that depends on what the shell is doing, exactly

07:04 <dnkl> disabling auto-wrap might work. But I suspect it'll cause other, worse, issues
