macos - iTerm2 – scroll less output with mouse

Question

I just switched from OSX Terminal to iTerm2, and I seem to have lost one piece of functionality. In Terminal, I could scroll through output of the less command with my mouse, because I had installed MouseTerm.

However, when I try scrolling less output in iTerm2, the window's scrollbar moves instead. Strangely, scrolling works as expected with vim.

How can I scroll less output with my mouse in iTerm2?

Answer 1

Now it is implemented in iTerm2 and can be activated by

Settings -> Advanced -> Scroll wheel sends arrow keys when in alternate screen mode and change it to Yes

(defaults write com.googlecode.iterm2 AlternateMouseScroll -bool true still works but it just changes the same setting)
