strsep() is not a POSIX function, and it means that every system
needs different defines to expose it. If the prototype of strsep
is not exposed then an ugly int/pointer is done and it might mean
a crash. The best solution?, to remove the strsep and make a custom
loop. If C programmers cannot do this kind of loops without calling
a library function, then maybe we should move all the suckless
software to Java.
Some programs can only deal with XA_STRING, and it makes impossible st
be able of copying to them. This patch makes st answer also to XA_STRING,
althought it sends utf8 strings. It is not a problem because moderm
applications must support utf8.

Now there is a distinction between the primary and clipboard selection. With
Mod + Shift + c/v the clipboard is handled. The old Insert behavious does
reside.
The unicode long is added to the cache. So when fontconfig does fall back to
the default font (where there is no easy way to find this out from the
pattern) it isn't reloaded.
ncurses wasn't able to detect the delete-character key as KEY_DC. This
patch fixes that.
kdch1 was defined as "\0177", but terminfo(5) states:
... characters may be given as three octal digits after a \.
The delete-character key is correctly defined in config.def.h.
Use the terminfo delay syntax ($<x>) in our flash capability to avoid
hardcoding a fixed delay in redraw() when called from tsetmode() with
DECSCNM.
We need to turn on the npc capability so that delays are made with
xon/xoff instead of padding characters.
When MODE_INSERT is set we'd shift characters on the same
line forward before inserting our character in tputc().
This did not account for wide characters where width != 1.
This patch makes it so we shift the correct amount.
In tputc(), when a character wasn't large enough to fit
on the current line, we would call tnewline() to place it on
the next line. Unfortunately, we weren't resetting our glyph
pointer and this caused memory corruption when a
wide character (width == 2) was being written. This patch
resets our glyph pointer after calls to tnewline().
If blinktimeout is set to a value greater than 1000, pselect will
receive a timeout argument with tv_nsec greater than 1E9 (1 sec), and
fail, making st crash. This patch just ensures that the timespec
structure is correctly filled with a value properly decomposed between
tv_sec and tv_nsec.
Reported by JasonWoof on IRC. Thanks!
Trailing whitespaces are trimmed when copying from normal selection and
rectangular selection on lines that have their last character included
or on the left of the selection. It leads to inconsistent behaviors when
copying the exact same text from the left and right window in
applications with vertical splits.
This patch solves this issue by always trimming the selection.
- POSIX states the SHELL environment variable "... shall represent a
pathname of the user's preferred command language interpreter." As
such, st should check for its presence when deciding what shell to
use; just as HOME can be defined to override one's passwd-defined home
directory, a user should also be able to override their passwd-defined
shell using the SHELL environment variable.
These are needed by ncurses to correctly handle the switch between line
drawing. The changes to the alternative characterset code already fixed the
urwid hack.
The XBell() call currently used when a bell is recieved sends a message
to the X server, but if the X server doesn't know how to sound it,
it just gets ignored and I have not been able to find anywhere in x.org's
code a way to configure the action that the server does.
However, if you use XkbBell() then you can have a process listening for
the XkbBellNotifyEvent that is produced and either alert you visually or
play an audio file or whatever you want as your notification. You have
to include one more header file but the function seems to be compiled as
part of Xlib, at least on my installation.

St has enacs, which must be printed if a program requires to use
the alternate charset (graphic charset), that in st case was to
select charset graphic for G1, but it was not useful
at all because smacs and rmacs were always redefining the value
of G0.
SI (0x0F or ^O) means Shift In, and it selects G1 charset definition,
and SO (0x0E or ^N) means Shift Out, and it selects G0 charset
definition, but st was doing just the inverse.
St runs an interactive shell and not a login shell, and it means
that profile is not loaded. The default terminal configuration
in some system is not the correct for st, but since profile is
not loaded there is no way of getting a script configures the
correct values.
St doesn't update the utmp files, this is the job of another
suckless tool, utmp. Utmp also opens a login shell (it is the
logical behaviour when you create a new user record) it is a
good option execute utmp and then get a correct input in
utmp, wtmp and lastlog file, and execute the content of the
profile.
