Description

Pressing Ctrl-L in mosh seems to be triggering a client-side repaint. This is good for single-terminal sessions, but it's not always desirable. For example, when using https://github.com/christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator, Ctrl-L becomes a navigation keystroke, so mosh repaints every time you navigate to the right which can be jarring and laggy.

Would it be possible to have an option to disable this client-side repaint prediction?

Research direction

The issue names mosh-client and the Ctrl-L repaint behavior but no file or test. Start by locating the Ctrl-L handling and client-side repaint prediction entry points, then determine how an option could disable that repaint without changing the navigation keystroke; done means the option works and the existing behavior remains unchanged by default.
