	+What is the state of scroll?
	+
	+The project is faced with some hard facts, that our original plan is not doable
	+as we thought in the fist place:
	+
	+ 1. [crtl]+[e] is used in emacs mode (default) on the shell to jump to the end
	+ of the line. But, its also used so signal a scroll down mouse event from
	+ terminal emulators to the shell an other programs.
	+
	+ - A workaround is to use vi mode in the shell.
	+ - Or to give up mouse support (default behavior)
	+
	+ 2. scroll could not handle backward cursor jumps and editing of old lines
	+ properly. We just handle current line editing and switching between
	+ alternative screens (curses mode). For a proper end user experience we
	+ would need to write complete new terminal emulator like screen or tmux.
	+
	What is the performance impact of scroll?
