The sequence \e[Nb prints the last printed char N (more) times if it's printable, and it's ignored after newline or other control chars. This is Ecma-048/ANSI-X3.6 sequence and not DEC VT. It's supported by xterm, and ncurses uses it when possible, e.g. when TERM is xterm* (and with this commit also st*). xterm supports only codepoints<=255, possibly due to internal limits. We support any value/codepoint which was placed in a cell. To test: - tput rep 65 4 -> prints 'AAAA' - printf "\342\225\246\033[4b" -> prints U+2566 1+4 times.

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):
