- Why does st not handle utmp entries?
-
- Use the excellent tool of utmp[0] for this task.

- Some _random program_ complains that st is unknown/not
- recognised/unsupported/whatever!
-
- It means that st doesn’t have any terminfo entry on your system. Chances are
- you did not make install. If you just want to test it without installing it,
- you can manualy run tic -s st.info in st dir. It will compile st.info into a
- fully working local terminfo description. You can delete it when you’re done.

- Nothing works, and nothing is said about an unknown terminal!
-
- * Some programs just assume they’re running in xterm i.e. they don’t rely on
- terminfo. What you see is the current state of the “xterm compliance”.
- * Some programs don’t complain about the lacking st description and default to
- another terminal. In that case see the question about terminfo.

- I get some weird glitches/visual bug on _random program_!
-
- Try lauching it with a different TERM: $ TERM=xterm myapp. toe(1) will give
- you a list of available terminals, but you’ll most likely switch between
- xterm, st or st-256color. The default value for TERM can be changed in
- config.h (TNAME).

- How do I scroll back up?
-
- Invoke st with a screen multiplexer like GNU screen[0] or tmux[1].
- st -e screen works better for text reflowing. To enter screen’s scroll
- back mode aka “copy mode”, it’s C-a ESC. You probably want defscrollback
- 10000 in your ~/.screenrc too.
