Keeps filling scroll back buffer

[poetaman]

Hi as of now, each update to rsClock adds entire frame to scroll back buffer. It happens on both in iTerm2, and also in tmux in Alacritty.

Command used:

>>rsclock -S -c

Here's a video:

@reportaman Try now the latest release, 1.6

@valebes Yes now it does not write every update to scroll back buffer. Though it does leave the last frame on the screen. You might want to invoke smcup and rmcup to use alternate-screen feature like I do it in a wrapper for now:

#!/opt/homebrew/bin/zsh
tput smcup
rsclock "$@"
tput rmcup

The feature is called as "alternate screen" officially in terminal terminology.

Yeah, I know about that. Surely I can quickly change the code a little bit to use alternate screen
