Any chance of adding an icon with the _NET_WM_ICON hint?
Consider it a low priority feature request to make alt-tabbing less ugly 😉

I using xst and same font with urxvt, I don't know issue xst about:

The left is xst and middle is urxvt.

Xresources config:

I reload them with killall -s USR1 st.

Almost every time I reload them one of them freezes and has to be killed with kill because it doesn't respond to X events.

I'm not sure what the issue is here. This is the output of any pacman related command with xst-git from AUR installed.

error: file owned by 'ncurses' and 'xst-git': 'usr/share/terminfo/s/st'
error: file owned by 'ncurses' and 'xst-git': 'usr/share/terminfo/s/st-256color'

I think this behavior that xst can achieve, keep cursor's shape and only change to | when over text to prapare to select.

Currently printf "\x1b[38;2;255;100;0mTRUECOLOR\x1b[0m\n" (true color test) fails, I was under the understanding st is true color by default?

Cheers.

When i change the colors and reload, st use a different colors

per @eti0: would be a urxvt --iconic equivalent

I have this set in both st and xst static int borderpx = 0;

st works - I have tmux session and the left status in bottom of screen

xst doesn't work - tmux session's status is a little above my screen, I can move cursor under the tmux's left status.

I'm able to make install just fine, but when i run st, I get a buffer overflow detected. I do not get this error when running st from suckless.org.

Text with the reverse attribute shows text in white background and foreground, therefore hides the text. This includes the block cursor.

Hi all
I would like you to use xst in Fedora 29. The linked copr repo only contains builds up to Fedora 28. Could you create a build for Fedora 29?
Thanks and keep up the good work!

I raised a question in here https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/472800/st-terminal-shrink-of-bottom-bar-because-of-font-with-small-size

Look at st's patches, I think this might be the right patch to fix this issue, unfortunately it failed even with original st-0.8.1. Probably won't work on xst.

Does xst come with idea of fix this issue?

Hey! First at all i really enjoy using this terminal. Thanks for keeping it alive.

But recently i have encountered some trouble with it. E.g. when i try to search some music in mpsyt or open my mailbox in neomutt, the terminal will crash. The programs run fine until that point. Maybe it has some problems with rendering big lists or something. I already reinstalled the terminal, but this didn't prevent ther terminal from crashing ;(

Here are some information about my system:
OS: Manjaro Linux 4.19.12-2
terminal version (installed from AUR): xst-git 20181014.5d2206e-1
email client (installed from AUR): NeoMutt 20180716
mpsyt 0.2.8

If you need more information, just asked. I don't know what to do about it, except asking here for help.

Parts of or entire characters are cut off on the left and right side of the window.

Sorry if this turns out to be a newbie mistake on my end but..

Compiled using make and sudo make install.
Everytime I load it up it crashes with the above error. My googlefu failed to reveal anything that would help me.

Thanks in advance.

uname -r output
4.4.0-59-generic, Lubuntu ( my normal distro is Arch; this is only temporary )

With URxvt you can configure your font:

URxvt.font: font1,font2

And font2 glyphs will be used as fallback if font1 doesn't provide them. This is useful for displaying icon fonts like https://github.com/stark/siji

It would be nice if xst could do this.

The same system, this command work: urxvtc -name ArbitraryWindows -geometry 160x50
output: windows is resized.

But with xst, it won't work: xst -class=ArbitraryWindows -geometry=100x50
no output, the result is that xst doesn't respect -geometry option that resize xst' window to something 100x50.

How to fix it?

In the modern world, the support for some languages that are right-to-left and mixing them with left-to-write words and numbers is crucial for a different software. At some point, this should be supported everywhere, including the console.

I started to gather the information about BiDi support in various console terminals (and programs) in analogy with true color crusade at https://gist.github.com/XVilka/a0e49e1c65370ba11c17

It’d be nice to have ligature support for fonts like Fira Code.

Any way to fix this?

I'd like to have xst in Void Linux Repos, but it's only possible for projects that have a release.
Do you mind making a release?

Hi, I am trying to change the shape of the cursor based on the mode in vim.

The wiki suggests to add this to my vimrc:

let &t_SI = "\<Esc>[6 q"
let &t_SR = "\<Esc>[4 q"
let &t_EI = "\<Esc>[2 q"

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Change_cursor_shape_in_different_modes

It specifically mentions st, so I tried it, but it doesn't work. Any idea why?

Is it possible to configure line spacing? I have a few fonts that I would love to use, however they are rendered with excess line spacing. I have the same issue with URxvt (that I'd like to switch off from) They offer this feature, but without negative values.

This is a question from a rookie. Any help is appreciated.
First I installed xst using xbps-install, realizing I could only recompile it with build from source. Then I "make install"-ed with git clone. The latter seems to have the delkey and some other patch. The backspace and arrow keys behave differently which was not a surprise as stated in the FAQ. I found that in the "xbps-install" the keys behave the same as in an unpatched st. yet the config.h file from github and void repo seems to be the same. What could be the reason of such difference?
(I still incline to build from source but want to figure out how to remove the patch and let the keys behave as unpatched st)

Thank you.

So I have run ./st after running make and it opens up and works but when I interact with the terminal I get endless lines of this:

erresc(default): gfx attr 10 unknown
ESC[0;10m

*This is from the terminal I ran ./st in?

Hi,
Thanks @actionless for the alpha patch.

Could you expose a command-line option for xst, so that we can change the opacity during the launch of st ?

The problem is that the alpha patch breaks image previews in ranger. I only need transparency in the drop down terminal.

Hey,

thanks for the great work!
Would you mind adding the clipdoard patch too?

https://st.suckless.org/patches/clipboard/
Coping from the browser e.g. is quite hard without it and I suppose I would not break any other funcionality. If you like I can submit a PR.

Cheers,
Pablo

how set padding pixel size?

I have a script that sets the font size (using kill -USR1 and xrdb to live reload the changes made to .Xresources).

I want that when I hit shift + mousewheel-up, this script gets executed.

Is there a way to achieve that in xst?

thanks for the project @neeasade!

Hi,

Would you consider calling the binary xst in order to have both xst and st ?
Thanks

Rendering the character U+26E9 (Shinto Shrine Emoji) causes st to crash, resulting in the message:

X Error of failed request:  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
  Major opcode of failed request:  139 (RENDER)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  20 (RenderAddGlyphs)
  Serial number of failed request:  4216
  Current serial number in output stream:  4241

Oddly, neither U+26E8 nor U+26EA cause a crash.

I discovered this when attempting to open an email with mutt which contained the emoji.

I've opened this issue here because my fork is based on xst, but I confirmed this to apply to suckless st (as of 21367a0) as well, so I've reported the issue to the [email protected] mailing list.

Hi, is it possible to somehow expose a way in .Xresources to set separate fonts for italic, (perhaps italic bold and bold too)?

Thanks

EDIT: found a patch for st which could have useful elements for this change: https://github.com/ericpruitt/edge/blob/master/patches/st-00-font-array-support.diff
This implements a fonts array support e.g. for chars not present in current .Xresources font.
Maybe this can help, cheers

How do you display CJK characters while using a set font, like Liberation Mono, for alphabetic characters? I've tried a few things, but I haven't been successful.

EDIT: Found some font TTF font conflicts that refuses to display certain CJK fonts that doesn't happen with other terminals.

I don't like bold font, so with URxvt I solved it with URxvt.boldFont:xos4terminus:size=12. But xst doesn't care that I use a non-bold font setting (st.boldFont:xos4terminus:size=12) and uses bold fonts anyway.

I know I can set static int bold_font to 0 to disable bold fonts, but that also disables the colors for the bold fonts. Things like emerge uses bold fonts, which results in emerge showing pretty much everything in orange.

Anyway around this? :)

Would it be possible to add an option to Xresources for which color the cursor points to?

Hi,
First of all, this is an extremely nice project. Thanks.

Can we have the alpha patch too ?

It's not a xst problem, but either Go font or st problem.
However i can't understand how to debug it, mb someone will have a suggestion.

When setting font to Go Mono all the bold colored text became yellow
there is also log message font weight does not match:

i Compile xst on my Ubuntu 18.04 and i love it

but i want to ask one question

is there any way to change the cols and rows on xst from Xresources file with out recompiling it ???

Even tmux would solve my use case workflow but still I'd like to use multiple terminal instead of multiple panes for some reasons, that an xst would always on top of others?

Would that possible?

Hi, xst and st by default uses the font to print lines/blocks/braille characters, but some fonts seems weird.

This patch uses a custom rendering for a flaw, nice boxes.

Can this patch be merged into the xst?

Can you include the delkey patch ?

So I didn't know how to use the clipboard patch so i looked inside of the diff and found that to copy out of the terminal you use ctrl+t.
But can I past or not because it is the only reason I sometimes have to use urxvt.
Thanks :)

There is a patch floating around of questionable quality:
https://gist.github.com/saitoha/70e0fdf22e3e8f63ce937c7f7da71809

I'm tempted to try and implement/port it to xst.
Thoughts?

It'd be handy for a couple things.

hello
I tried to add the delkey patch and it did not work

xst does everything I want it too, except that I can't click links to open them in my browser (from what I can find). Could this be implemented?

when trying to paste text I get this error: bracketed-paste-magic:zle:47: not enough arguments for -U

I am using zsh on Debian Sid if that helps

Any idea of apply hidecursor patch from st?
