| 8 | Some _random program_ complains that st is unknown/not | ||
| 9 | recognised/unsupported/whatever! | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | It means that st doesn’t have any terminfo entry on your system. Chances are | ||
| 12 | you did not make install. If you just want to test it without installing it, | ||
| 13 | you can manualy run tic -s st.info in st dir. It will compile st.info into a | ||
| 14 | fully working local terminfo description. You can delete it when you’re done. | ||

| 18 | * Some programs just assume they’re running in xterm i.e. they don’t rely on | ||
| 19 | terminfo. What you see is the current state of the “xterm compliance”. | ||
| 20 | * Some programs don’t complain about the lacking st description and default to | ||
| 21 | another terminal. In that case see the question about terminfo. | ||

| 23 | I get some weird glitches/visual bug on _random program_! | ||

| 25 | Try lauching it with a different TERM: $ TERM=xterm myapp. toe(1) will give | ||
| 26 | you a list of available terminals, but you’ll most likely switch between | ||
| 27 | xterm, st or st-256color. The default value for TERM can be changed in | ||
| 28 | config.h (TNAME). | ||

| 30 | How do I scroll back up? | ||
| 31 | |||
| 32 | Invoke st with a screen multiplexer like GNU screen[0] or tmux[1]. | ||
| 33 | st -e screen works better for text reflowing. To enter screen’s scroll | ||
| 34 | back mode aka “copy mode”, it’s C-a ESC. You probably want defscrollback | ||
| 35 | 10000 in your ~/.screenrc too. | ||
