+Subject: [PATCH] st: alternative scrollback using ring buffer and view offset
 
- Implement scrollback as a fixed-size ring buffer and render history
- by offsetting the view instead of copying screen contents.
- Implement reflow of history and screen content on resize if it is needed.
+Implement scrollback as a fixed-size ring buffer and render history
+by offsetting the view instead of copying screen contents.
 
- Tradeoffs / differences:
- - Scrollback is disabled on the alternate screen
- - Simpler model than the existing scrollback pull request set
- - Mouse wheel scrolling enabled by default
- - Shift + page up/down and shift + end/home work as well.
- - When using vim, mouse movement will no longer move the cursor.
- - There can be visual artifacts if width of the window is shrank to the size smaller than the shell promp.
+Tradeoffs / differences:
+- Scrollback history is lost on resize
+- Scrollback is disabled on the alternate screen
+- Simpler model than the existing scrollback pull request set
+- Mouse wheel scrolling enabled by default
+
+Note:
+When using vim, mouse movement will no longer move the cursor.
+
+Reminder:
+If applying this pull request on top of others, ensure any changes to
+config.def.h are merged into config.h.

+Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 11:58:07 -0700
+Subject: [PATCH] st: scrollback reflow and selection across scrollback
 
-Implement scrollback as a fixed-size ring buffer and render history
-by offsetting the view instead of copying screen contents.
+Reflow the scrollback buffer on resize instead of dropping it: wrapped
+lines are joined into logical lines and re-split to the new width.
 
-Tradeoffs / differences:
-- Scrollback history is lost on resize
-- Scrollback is disabled on the alternate screen
-- Simpler model than the existing scrollback pull request set
-- Mouse wheel scrolling enabled by default
+Keep the selection in logical rows spanning history and screen (0 is
+the oldest scrollback line, sb.len + y is screen row y) instead of in
+window coordinates. Lines keep their row when pushed into scrollback,
+so the selection now survives scrolling the view and new output, and
+can cover less than one screen. Only evicting the oldest line from the
+ring shifts it.
 
-Note:
-When using vim, mouse movement will no longer move the cursor.
+- shift+click extends the current selection: the end nearest to the
+  click follows it, keeping word/line snapping. Disabled in MODE_MOUSE,
+  where shift forces selection instead.
+- scrolling the wheel while dragging keeps the selection end under the
+  pointer.
+- typing while scrolled back no longer clears the selection.
+- the selection is cleared when the width changes (reflow) or the alt
+  screen is resized, and kept on height-only resizes.
 
-Reminder:
-If applying this pull request on top of others, ensure any changes to
-config.def.h are merged into config.h.
