Similar to dwm-flexipatch this st 0.8.3 (249ef9, 2020-06-01) project has a different take on st patching. It uses preprocessor directives to decide whether or not to include a patch during build time. Essentially this means that this build, for better or worse, contains both the patched and the original code. The aim being that you can select which patches to include and the build will contain that code and nothing more.

For example to include the alpha patch then you would only need to flip this setting from 0 to 1 in patches.h:

#define ALPHA_PATCH 1

Once you have found out what works for you and what doesn't then you should be in a better position to choose patches should you want to start patching from scratch.

Alternatively if you have found the patches you want, but don't want the rest of the flexipatch entanglement on your plate then you may want to have a look at flexipatch-finalizer; a custom pre-processor tool that removes all the unused flexipatch code leaving you with a build that contains the patches you selected.

Refer to https://st.suckless.org/ for details on the st terminal, how to install it and how it works.

  • externalpipein

    • this patch prevents the reset of the signal handler set on SIGCHILD, when the forked process that executes the external process exits
    • it adds the externalpipein function to redirect the standard output of the external command to the slave size of the pty, that is, as if the external program had been manually executed on the terminal
    • this can be used to send desired escape sequences to the terminal with a shortcut (e.g. to change colors)
  • ~fixime~

    • adds better Input Method Editor (IME) support

    • this provides a simple way to temporarily switch to a light colorscheme if you use a dark colorscheme or visa-versa
  • iso14755

    • pressing the default binding Ctrl+Shift-i will popup dmenu, asking you to enter a unicode codepoint that will be converted to a glyph and then pushed to st
