This is a modified st to fit my needs. Mailing lists combining all suckless projects and wikis linking every versions of patches instead of git repos are too inconvenient for me.

Notable changes:

• Scrollback buffer patch with small fixes, eg. can't scroll back more than was written, no scrollback on alternate screen
• Scrolling with mouse, patch on suckless wiki was buggy
• Decreased latency: instead of using fixed fps, redraw (almost) immediately, except when there is a lot of text, then back to fixed fps for speed
• Small artificial delay added after input to fight flickering (eg. mpv status line). May still flicker ocassionally. Sadly it's a compromise between latency and flickering
• Xresources patch

st - simple terminal

st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.

Requirements

In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.

Installation

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if necessary as root):

make clean install

Running st

If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile the st terminfo entry with the following command:

tic -sx st.info

See the man page for additional details.
