The alternate screen is not properly initialized when st starts. To see
this, set defaultbg in config.h to anything other than 0 (for example, swap
defaultfg and defaultbg), and run:
./st -e sh -c 'tput smcup; read'
You should see that the top-left 80x24 rectangle is black (or whatever
colorname[0] is), while the rest of the screen (if any) has the desired
colorname[defaultbg] color.
The attached patch fixes this by initializing term.c.attr in tnew() before
calling tresize(). It also removes the unnecessary xcalloc() calls, which
misled me on this bug hunt since it is really tclearregion() which
initializes term.lines and term.alt in tresize().
Hello.
I reviewed and tested commit 7e3cff3, and made a patch that fixes some
problems in it.
1. There's a semicolon after an if statement, which is obviously a
typo.
2. The current way of calculating text position in "xdraws" yields
inconsistent results in some cases. This is due to the use of
"font->width", which varies. Instead, "xw.cw" has to be used as the
character width.
Sincerely,
Eon
tdefcolor() returns -1 on error, while its return type is
unsigned long. At the same time, line 1724 and 1731 are checking the
positivity of its unsigned return value.
Colors definition can be changed using a OSC sequence, so
we have to reload them if we want be sure all the colors
are the correct.
Could be desirable free the colors allocated due to rgb
colors and inverse colors (XftColorAllocValues in xdraws),
but it is impossible due we use the same structure for all
of them.
This patch uses the bit 24 in the color descriptor as an indicator
of RGB color, so we can take the values and generating the XftColour
directly in xdraws.
I made a patch that improves the performance of font caching mechanism.
This is based on a funny behaviour of FontConfig: it was handling
FcCharSet in a somewhat unexpected way.
So, we are currently adding "a character" to a new FcCharSet, and then
add it to a FcPattern. However, if we toss the FcPattern to FontConfig,
it loads the entire language(charset) that contains the character we
gave. That is, we don't always have to load a new font for each unknown
character. Instead, we can reused cached fonts, and this significantly
reduces the number of calls to extremely slow FontConfig matching
functions.
One more thing. I found that, in libXft, there's a function called
XftCharExists. XftCharIndex internally calls this function, and
does more stuffs if the character does exist. Since the returned index
is never used in st, we should call XftCharExists instead of
XftCharIndex. Please note that I already made this change in the patch.
To be more specific, now tty creation is delayed until X window is
actually mapped; last ConfigureNotify before mapping determines
initial tty size.
Please report problems if there are any.
There were two problems with match denfinition.
1) There was a forward declaration in the form:
static inline bool match(uint, uint);
but later the function was defined as:
inline bool
match(uint mask, uint state) {
This causes that there were two different functions in the code, one local
and inline, and other inline but extern. All was working without problems
due to we were using -Os, and the compiler was using the extern definition
and it was no expanding the static declaration. If you removed the -Os flag,
then you got linker errors due it was no able to find the static definition
of the static declaration.
2) The mask checking was incorrect because we were doing the test:
(state & mask) != state
and this test only was saying that at least all the enabled bits of state
were enabled also in mask, but no all the possible bits in mask. This was
the origin of the bug reported by Xavier Cartron, where he said it was
possible activated some shortcuts with some of the modifiers defined in the
config.h file.
draw is the function which update the Xwindow with the information st has,
and it is designed in a way that it must be called once in the main loop
(run function), and calling it in other places it is a waste of time.
The way st knows if there is a selection activated is checking if sel.ob.x
is equal to -1. In some parts of the code the way of disabling the selection
was only setting it to -1, but after it you can't be sure if the selection
is clearing from the terminal representation, because it is necessary mark
all the lines affected by the selection as dirty. Already there is a functon
which perform this task, selclear.
We're now clearing empty areas with spaces, so there is no point to check
if character contains non-empty string.

The commit b78c5085f7 changed the st behaviour enabling BCE capability,
that means erase regions using background color. Problem comes when you
clear a region with a selection, because in this case the real mode of the
Glyph is not the value of term.line[y][x], due in drawregion we had enabled
the ATTR_REVERSE bit.

Now double-click+dragging automatically snaps both ends to word boundaries
(unless on series of spaces), and triple-click selects whole lines.
As a side effect, snapping now occurs on button press, not button release
like it previously was, but I hope that won't be inconvenient for anyone.

Now, when you are selecting a region, you will get all empty lines that happen
to be in it, including trailing ones. Last line terminator is omitted as it previously
was, though.

To have a more visible cursor on unfocused windows this patch makes st draw a
rectangle around the terminal cell.
Thanks Mark Hills <mark@xwax.org> for the suggestion!
The copying and pasting in the terminald and GUI world is flawed. Due to the
discussion on the mailinglist it seems that sending '\n' is what GUIs expect
and '\r' what terminal applications want. St now implements that behaviour.
People sending me patches against strange revisions and basing on their own
revisions make me having to reapply them. Then such errors appear.
Thanks Alexander Sedov <alex0player@gmail.com> for noticing this.
The specified font[] pattern need not have a medium weight. It could be
specified as a number too or have a different weight other than medium.

Keypad will generate keycodes when keypad application mode is enabled. It
can cause problems with some programs like vi, which operates in such
mode.
This patch change by default don't generate the keycodes never, but this
behaviour can be changed using the combination Alt + NumLock.

This patch apply the same code for shortcuts that it is used now for defined
keys. So it is possible use now XK_NO_MOD and XK_ANY_MOD for defining shortcuts.

XK_NO_MOD match a key without modifiers and XK_ANY_MOD match a key does not
matter what modifiers are pressed to. Like they are mask the best value for
XK_ANY_MOD is all the bits to 1, so the and with any state will be equal to
the state. This also imply that is necessary check the case for XK_NO_MOD
(no modifiers at all) with some modifier in state, and the inverse
(some mask different to XK_ANY_MOD or XK_NO_MOD and no modifiers in state).

When Shift + Tab is pressed X server send the event XK_ISO_Left_Tab with
ShiftMask, so this is the entry we need in config.def.h
This patch also revert the previous patch for this issue because it breaks

Shift + Insert is used like a hot key for paste the selection, so it is more
logical move it to shortcut array instead of having special code for it.

Keypad mode is used for detecting when keys in the auxiliary keypad are
pressed, while cursor mode is used for detecting when a cursor is pressed,
but they are different modes.
St was mixing both modes and DECPAM and DECPNM modified the cursor mode, and
this was incorrect.

Sequences like DECSC, DECRC, ESC [?1047l or ESC [?1047h save and restore
cursor attributes, than taken from vt100 manual are:
Save Cursor (DECSC) ESC 7
===========================
Saves the following in terminal memory.
- cursor position
- graphic rendition
- character set shift state
- state of wrap flag
- state of origin mode
Restore Cursor (DECRC) ESC 8
===========================
Restores the states described for (DECSC) above. If none of these
characteristics were saved, the cursor moves to home position; origin
mode is reset; no character attributes are assigned; and the default
character set mapping is established.
This implies that hide attribute of the cursor should not be saved/restored
in these sequences. The best way to fix this problem is moving hide
attribute into the terminal mode, instead of having it in the cursor state.
