And finally, a feature that you will not want.

* unix.stackexchange.com/a/46516…

Over many years, people have regularly asked for a terminal emulator where the line progression goes from bottom to top. The idea that they have is that they will find this easier than top to bottom. In response to a recent question in the same vein on Stack Exchange, I have given console-fb-realizer, console-ncurses-realizer, and console-termio-realizer the ability to realize displays with the line progression reversed.

Having used this, it seems to me that people only want this because they have not tried it. Trying it makes a convincing case for not using it. So I have retained this feature in order that, at long last, there is an actual terminal system with this feature that people can try, and come to the same realization. (-:
