Why do all modern #wayland terminals* seem so dead set on not giving me a permanently visible, mouse-interactable scrollbar?

Yes, being able to scroll with Shift-PageUp/Dn or the mousewheel is neat, but sometimes, I'd like to drag a slider, not hit keys a million times or spin the scrollwheeel an RSI-inducing amount of times.

*(e.g. alacritty, foot, etc)

Edited to add: I used to use wezterm which does all I need (still has too much stuff), but the maintainer is fatigued (no judgement!)

@klausman QTerminal is modern and supports Wayland ;)

@LXQt It has other downsides, like not being able to set cursor color ;)

@klausman That may or may not be compensated by splitting terminal, native Wayland dropdown, command bookmarks and more ;)

@LXQt I actually need none of those things :) I've played around with a few of them, and while I can see them as convenient to some, I don't really need them in my workflow (I am an old dog and rarely need new tricks ;) )
