Motivation
Headless terminal hosts may need to persist or process rows as they leave the active viewport. One example is maintaining an external, bounded history that survives beyond
XTerm.NET's in-memory scrollback.
The existing
Scrolled,Trimmed, andBufferChangedevents do not provide the affectedBufferLinebefore it is moved, removed, or recycled. A host therefore cannot reliablycapture the final contents and attributes of that row.
Changes
This adds a
LineExitedViewportevent toTerminal. The event reports:BufferLineleaving the viewport;Scroll notifications are raised synchronously before the line can be spliced or recycled. Full-width scroll regions are supported; narrowed left/right margins do not raise the
event because they move only part of each row.
When switching buffers, the event is raised for meaningful visible rows before the previous buffer is deactivated. Trailing empty rows are omitted.
