-si|+si Turn on/off scroll-to-bottom on TTY output inhibit; resource scrollTtyOutput has opposite effect.There's no such option. Shift+End will get you back to the current output after looking at something in the scrollback, as will any keypress that sends something to the terminal.Any chance to implement this? Automatic scroll-to-bottom is a useful feature, IMHO.I disagree. The point of being able to scroll back to earlier output is to read and perhaps copy something. When doing that, having the scrollback jump back to the bottom without the user asking for it is rather unhelpful. The Windows console does this, and I always found it really frustrating.THat's why this is an option in xterm. Every use has another idea how the terminal should behave in this regard, I guess.I'd also appreciate very much implementing that option. mintty is promoted here as a replacement for rxvt but obviously lacks a functionality I've come to depend on. My use case is a terminal window in which I don't do much but where a lot of background jobs regularly produce output. A quick glance at the window tells me the current status of those jobs. Not with mintty anymore. Same with the classic use case tail -f logfile.
