Roberto E. Vargas Caballero 019449a7e6 Add terminfo entries for backspace mode St used to use backspace as BS until the commit `230d0c8`, but due to general lack of knowledge of lusers, we moved to the most common configuration in linux to avoid answering the same question 3 times per month. With the most common configuration we have a backspace that returns a DEL, and we have a Delete key that doesn't return a DEL character neither a BS. When dealing with devices connected using a serial line (or even with Plan9) it is more common Backspace as BS and Delete as DEL. For this reason, st is not always the best tool when you talk with a serial device. This patch adds new terminfo entries for Backspace as BS and Delete as DEL. A patch for confg.h is also added, to make easier switch between both configurations.		2020-04-11 15:23:23 +02:00

README

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.
