    Nitpicking, but when you go into scrollback mode you have to enter Alt-B to exit... this is fine once a user knows, but I sat there wondering why ESC didn't take me out... maybe add ESC (AND Alt-B) as a way to exit scrollback mode?? (Not even a request, just talking out loud APAM...)

    Yes, that's a good idea. :)

    Another thing I noticed today thats no big deal, but mentioning... you know I was calling HappyLand to screen record it since your announcement; well when I did the first time, using MagiTerm - Kooha screen recorder gave all garbage; just the MagiTern phone directory and some flashing later in the recording. I am on Linux, using Wayland - and I figure its the way you might be passing bbS data/output to some other window or some way you handle that pass off...

    Again; this isn't a feature request, but mentioning to you so you might know. Both Netrunner & Synterm allow screen recording without issue. And sorry for creating a paulie421 account - but I wanted to preserve the entire HappyLand experience. :P

    I don't know what's happening there. I tried to install kooha, but it wouldn't work for me at all (KDE X11 or KDE Wayland) So I couldn't record anything.

    I tried with OBS studio, that recorded everything correctly (in both wayland and x11). (sent you the wayland video in discord)

    I'm not really sure where to start to fix this. I guess it's something I'm doing if syncterm and netrunner work (both use SDL2 as MagiTerm does) unless it's a different pixel format i'm using for surfaces, but I don't understand why if it's on the screen it's not recording to the video.

    I don't even think you need to address it - but I did wanna mention my experience just in case it was some easy 'oh yea'... I'm on Wayland, GNOME and Arch Linux - and when recording w/ Kooha I saw the MagiTerm directory - which is why I thought it passed the connected bbS to a different window or something. (I was recording by WINDOW...)

    No worries - not a feature request, just chatting. :P

    Hmm, magiterm does change the title of the window when connecting, perhaps kooha thinks it's a different window because the titlebar changed?

    Ok :)
