kpress function in x.c previously relied on the wrong understanding of XmbLookupString behavior. When the composed string is longer than the available buffer, the buffer is not initialized and the actual length of the data available to read is returned, not the amount of data written. When that amount is later used to process the contents of this buffer, not only will the random contents of the uninitialized buffer be sent directly to the terminal and whichever application is now running in it, but possibly also whatever is in the memory after that buffer, leading to undefined behavior and possible random command execution. |

Luke's build of st - the simple (suckless) terminal
The suckless terminal (st) with some additional features that make it literally the best terminal emulator ever:
Unique features (using dmenu)
- follow urls by pressing
alt-l - copy urls in the same way with
alt-y - copy the output of commands with
alt-o
Bindings for
- scrollback with
alt-↑/↓oralt-pageup/downorshiftwhile scrolling the mouse. - OR vim-bindings: scroll up/down in history with
alt-kandalt-j. Faster withalt-u/alt-d. - zoom/change font size: same bindings as above, but holding down shift as
well.
alt-homereturns to default - copy text with
alt-c, paste isalt-vorshift-insert
Pretty stuff
- Compatibility with
Xresourcesandpywalfor dynamic colors. - Default gruvbox colors otherwise.
- Transparency/alpha, which is also adjustable from your
Xresources. - Default font is system "mono" at 14pt, meaning the font will match your system font.
Other st patches
- Boxdraw
- Ligatures
- font2
- updated to latest version 0.8.5
Installation for newbs
You should have xlib header files and libharfbuzz build files installed.
git clone https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/st
cd st
sudo make install
Obviously, make is required to build. fontconfig is required for the
default build, since it asks fontconfig for your system monospace font. It
might be obvious, but libX11 and libXft are required as well. Chances are,
you have all of this installed already.
On OpenBSD, be sure to edit config.mk first and remove -lrt from the
$LIBS before compiling.
Be sure to have a composite manager (xcompmgr, picom, etc.) running if you
want transparency.
How to configure dynamically with Xresources
For many key variables, this build of st will look for X settings set in
either ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources. You must run xrdb on one of these
files to load the settings.
For example, you can define your desired fonts, transparency or colors:
*.font: Liberation Mono:pixelsize=12:antialias=true:autohint=true;
*.alpha: 0.9
*.color0: #111
...
The alpha value (for transparency) goes from 0 (transparent) to 1
(opaque). There is an example Xdefaults file in this respository.
Colors
To be clear about the color settings:
- This build will use gruvbox colors by default and as a fallback.
- If there are Xresources colors defined, those will take priority.
- But if
walhas run in your session, its colors will take priority.
Note that when you run wal, it will negate the transparency of existing windows, but new windows will continue with the previously defined transparency.
Notes on Emojis and Special Characters
If st crashes when viewing emojis, install libxft-bgra from the AUR.
Note that some special characters may appear truncated if too wide. You might
want to manually set your prefered emoji/special character font to a lower size
in the config.h file to avoid this. By default, JoyPixels is used at a
smaller size than the usual text.
