How do I mouse scroll in Emacs in the terminal? I haven't gotten mouse-wheel-mode to work -


i use emacs in terminal, either 23 or 24 depending on machine i'm sshed into, ubuntu / mint. have line alias emacs='emacsclient -a "" -t' in .bashrc file, if matters. i've wanted figure out how able scroll mouse months, can't seem to, if i'm using emacs locally.

every time open emacs in terminal, have scroll bar on right, not functional, because part drag (that part moves when scroll) fills entire height of scroll bar, , immovable.

i've seen many people suggest m-x mouse-wheel-mode. when begin type out, tab complete shows me list of completions, , isn't on it. accepted answer here states it's included , on default. if that's true, else wrong. before finding this, i've tried finding .el it, , haven't succeeded in either.

i've gotten (xterm-mouse-mode) working. may related in it's proof emacs have mouse.

i don't know try next. ideas?

edit 2: tried running emacs -q -nw in xterm. in situation m-x xterm-mouse-mode makes possible me scroll large buffers mouse wheel. possible after all. can't why doesn't work without further info.

original answer: understand it, emacs run in terminal can limited use of mouse, , terminal emulators. xterm-mouse-mode might help, don't think can wheel scrolling, clicks.

edit: since you're ssh-ing in, try using gui version of emacs, either on remote machine, after connecting via ssh -x, or running emacs locally , using tramp ssh connection. mouse features way, shouldn't need custom tweaking.
