[RFE] Fullscreen program disable mouse wheel

It would be nice to be able to disable mouse scroll sending arrow keys when there is a fullscreen program running (such as less, vi, emacs; but not more).

In other words, it would be nice if scrolling behaved like Terminal in OSX and scrolled a view of the history instead of the curses program, so such programs could be treated like any other.

For example, I use emacs to edit code and then, in the same window, compile it to check for errors. I then reforground emacs and try to scroll up to the output of cc to figure out where the first error was, but this scrolls emacs instead of the view.

I have tried editing my .emacs to turn off mouse wheel, but this does not help; this appears to be a problem with the terminal.
