I agree that blue text might look unreadable with default colours,
however it's trivial to change them both on console and for xterm and
clones in X. So why not using "#if 0" trick for yourself like other
people do it ? Or even your own patch or a toggle....


Here's how I got wheel to work with Links. Add the following lines to
your X resources :

LXTerm*VT100.Translations:             #override \n\
      s<Btn4Down>: string("[5~") \n\
      s<Btn5Down>: string("[6~") \n\
      <Btn4Down>: string("^[[2~") \n\
      <Btn5Down>: string("^[[3~") \n\
      <Btn4Up>: \n\
      <Btn5Up>:

"^[[5~" is a sequence generated by PageUp key (the rest are for PageDown,
Insert and Delete keys, respectively).. I use LXTerm so that default
xterm is not affected (start xterm with "-name LXTerm" to get it to
recognize these resources). shift + wheel should scroll like page-up/down
do, while using wheel without modifier keys will scroll like
Insert/Delete do.

Goran
