I revisited the 2018 LWN series “A look at terminal emulators” and re-read its notes on st. Back then, the articles tested st 0.6/0.7 (Debian/Fedora) and 0.8.1 upstream, a fair snapshot of the time. I went through the upstream st git history from 2018 → 2025 and mapped many of the issues discussed (Unicode/wide glyphs, input crashes, paste & tmux integration, redraw/latency, escape sequences) to the actual fixes that landed over the years. No single “big patch”, just steady maintenance: wide-glyph correctness, crash-class input fixes, bracketed paste terminfo, latency tuning, and modern escape/color handling. I wrote a short technical note with links to the relevant commits: https://4c6e.xyz/code_notes.html (post: Revisiting ST after the 2018 LWN analysis) I’ve been using st + tmux daily on Slackware and it’s been solid: minimal, fast, predictable — exactly what I want on X11. #st #suckless #unix #tmux #x11 #slackware

Neat quick #tmux trick. Have a whole bunch of windows open and can't remember which one you need? ^B+s let's you see your open windows in one quick view. Just switch to the one you want by double clicking on the window number/label from there.
