A STATEMENT ON LEGACY SUPPORT |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the terminal world there is much cruft that comes from old and unsup‐ |
|
|
|
ported terminals that inherit incompatible modes and escape sequences |
|
|
|
which noone is able to know, except when he/she comes from that time and |
|
|
|
developed a graphical vt100 emulator at that time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One goal of st is to only support what is really needed. When you en‐ |
|
|
|
counter a sequence which you really need, implement it. But while you |
|
|
|
are add it, do not add the other cruft you might encounter while sneek‐ |
|
|
|
ing at other terminal emulators. History has bloated them and there is |
|
|
|
no real evidence that most of the sequences are used today. |
