> Scrolling without moving the cursor doesn't make sense in a TUI environment

It makes perfect sense as soon as you realize there is no reason the cursor has to be the cursor. In curses: curs_set(0); then draw your own 'cursor' wherever you like.

Anyway, GUI emacs is way better than terminal emacs. Image support (in terminal emulators this is always an awful hack) and support for different font sizes in the same frame at once is something I'd not give up.
