Describe the bug

alt-screen is so much worse for usability.

  • No scroll bar - can't quickly go back in history
  • Can't find text in the history - Terminal's find can only see the current screen
  • Can't see history while reviewing a large file change
  • Can't press Enter to copy after selecting
  • Can't see the context of the session after exiting (or when terminal is restored after restart)

And more I can't think of right now.
