Less has an option to redraw the screen after quitting, which might mean you get the behaviour you want using `-X` (have the last [manpage? etc] screen visible after quit) while still supporting scroll.
```shell
# From man less(1)
--redraw-on-quit
When quitting, after sending the terminal deinitialization string, redraws
the entire last screen. On terminals whose terminal deinitialization string
causes the terminal to switch from an alternate screen, this makes the last
screenful of the current file remain visible after less has quit.

-xthen this doesn't have to go in, but maybe I should still update the comment so that others know of --redraw-on-quit too
