how to use the trackpad to scroll in nano using iterm2, the way it works in terminal.app?

Question or issue on macOS:

I am trying out iTerm2, but now the scroll gesture just makes iTerm scroll upward in history, the nano work area scrolling off the bottom. in Terminal, scrolling in nano simulates moving the cursor up and down, and results in a nice ability to move through the file. How can I get iTerm2 to do this also?

How to solve this problem?
