mouse scroll and arrows in alternate screen

[woeful coyote]

scrolling/using arrow keys in crossterm alternate screen is a big buggy, it gives something like ^[[A for each stroke and pretty much breaks the whole thing trying to receive normal input
how do i prevent this or are there somethings i am missing?

I think this stems from a misunderstanding of what the alternate screen mode is. The alternate screen mode does not maintain a scrollback area, and therefore ignores commands to scroll across that buffer. \0x1B \[ \A (written to the screen as ^[[A for readability) is the sequence of codes sent by the keyboard to your computer when you press the Up arrow key

Alternate screen mode isn't part of crossterm - it's part of the terminal

Ah well

So basically when the scroll command is executed it just prints that command regarding of the cursor or what's happening

Well, anyways to prevent that? Just not have it print at all?
