alternate screen buffer doesn't work using NuShell
Author: Callisto95Created Jun 6, 2025Updated Sep 17, 2026
I've noticed that in NuShell when I scroll using my mouse that Delta wasn't scrolling, but rather the entire terminal itself. Going back to Zsh, I found out that the scroll works again. The difference is that in Zsh the alternate screen buffer was enabled, while in NuShell it wasn't.
This isn't a problem in other applications. man and Bat work fine, just Delta has this issue (as far as I know).
