Just Scrolling Shell
Description: Just Scrolling Shell is a shell which can everything what do normal shell does (copy and paste yeah ;P) and one feature more: Scrolling
Well it isn't as good as the lovely
Mildly Better Shell (try it!), but an alternative. The shell buffers 250 lines.
Why shouldn't I use just Mildly Better Shell? Well first of all, it creates files on your system and then you have to install the beta version. My shell works definatly on CC 1.7 and probably till 1.79.
Usage: Mouse middle click returns to cursor position.
Mouse scrolls one line per tick.
Page up or down scrolls the whole screen per pressed key.
Installation: pastebin get 6qpzWuLb ScrollingShell
Run it per
>ScrollingShell
Documentation for the shell API:Spoiler
Normal shell API.
Plus:
shell.allowScroll()
Allows scrolling in your program.
shell.disallowScroll()
Disallows scrolling in your porgram (default). MIT

Does anyone put something serious here?

Just tried it out: it's jolly neat. There's a couple of thoughts on things:
- It might be nice if user input scrolled to the bottom of the screen: namely key and paste events (excluding pageUp/pageDown obviously).
- As your code is derived from an earlier shell, running it on 1.80pr1 will throw "No such program" errors as it looks for rom/programs/xyz rather than rom/programs/xyz.lua. Replacing the relevant sections with this code should be sufficient.
- Overriding term.native is evil: please don't do that :)/>.

Thanks for trying out =)
I've just modified some things, for reinstall, delete ScrollingShell and redownload it with the same pastebin link.

Yeah, I added this for paste and char events.

Yeah, I replaced the code. I had wondred why I had to write list.lua for list the directory. Will my shell work on older versions anymore?

Oh, that was a try for bugfixing and then I've forgotten that I placed that there… Thanks! =)

It should be entirely backwards compatible so everything should just work fine on either version.
