Why does st not handle utmp entries?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use the excellent tool of utmp[0] for this task.

Some _random program_ complains that st is unknown/not
|
|
|
|
|
|
recognised/unsupported/whatever!
|

It means that st doesn’t have any terminfo entry on your system. Chances are
|
|
|
|
|
|
you did not make install. If you just want to test it without installing it,
|
|
|
|
|
|
you can manualy run tic -s st.info in st dir. It will compile st.info into a
|
|
|
|
|
|
fully working local terminfo description. You can delete it when you’re done.

Nothing works, and nothing is said about an unknown terminal!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Some programs just assume they’re running in xterm i.e. they don’t rely on
|
|
|
|
|
|
terminfo. What you see is the current state of the “xterm compliance”.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Some programs don’t complain about the lacking st description and default to
|
|
|
|
|
|
another terminal. In that case see the question about terminfo.

I get some weird glitches/visual bug on _random program_!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Try lauching it with a different TERM: $ TERM=xterm myapp. toe(1) will give
|
|
|
|
|
|
you a list of available terminals, but you’ll most likely switch between
|
|
|
|
|
|
xterm, st or st-256color. The default value for TERM can be changed in
|
|
|
|
|
|
config.h (TNAME).

How do I scroll back up?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Invoke st with a screen multiplexer like GNU screen[0] or tmux[1].
|
|
|
|
|
|
st -e screen works better for text reflowing. To enter screen’s scroll
|
|
|
|
|
|
back mode aka “copy mode”, it’s C-a ESC. You probably want defscrollback
|
|
|
|
|
|
10000 in your ~/.screenrc too.
