Request for much longer scrollback

[aubloom]

Feature request: Could you increase the history/scrollback size?

I know it can't be infinite, because I asked about it years ago in this topic on intfiction:
https://intfiction.org/t/lectrote-1-1-0-now-with-ink-support/10247/4

But could(n't) it just be a whole lot longer than it is now? I mean, way longer! Thanks.

There is a limit where the scrollback starts to make the browser engine lag. As that thread says, I haven't done research to find where it might be.

There's probably also a UI limit where you can't scan around effectively because dragging the scroll bar is too extreme. That would be pretty big, though.

One may justly point out that the scrollback limit hasn't changed in over a decade.

I've changed the default from 200 (lines or paragraphs) to 800.

Thanks. That's already a big improvement on where it was.
