So no way to have it tick only when it's idle, and never force a scroll? I can see that forcing the prompt to rewrite is normally an 'event' so it would naturally force a scroll, so this is probably 'unnatural' in a way, but it sounds like it could be doable. This is small potatoes tho, hardly any sort of issue.I also use a premcd to start the ticking, and initially set a longer TMOUT so that it usually ticks only when I'm not actively editing the buffer (I figure if I'm actively entering commands, having it update after each command is often enough).
