Some programs use the alternative screen (vi, less, ...), whose content is different of the main screen. If you select text in one of the screen, you don't wait the box selection is painted in the other screen, so it is necessary check if the selection was done in the same screen we are going to paint. Before to this commit, you could do something like: $ LESS="" ls | less (select some code) q and selection box remains drawing in the main screen, but the content of selection keeps text of the alternate screen. --- st.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple virtual 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 don't install st, define TNAME to "xterm" in config.h or make sure to at
least compile st terminfo entry with the following command:
tic -s st.info
It should print the path of the compiled terminfo entry. You can
safely remove it if you don't plan to use st anymore.
See the man page for additional details.
