set upper limit for REP escape sequence argument
Previously, printf 'L\033[2147483647b' would call tputc('L') 2^31 times, making st unresponsive. This commit allows repeating the last character at most 65535 times in order to prevent freezing and DoS attacks.
Fix cursor move with wide glyphs
st would always move back 1 column, even with wide glyhps (using more than a single column). The glyph rune is set on its first column, and the other ones are to 0, so loop until we detect the start of the previous glyph.
csi: check for private marker in 'S' case
The handler for 'S' final character does not check for a private marker. This can cause a conflict with a sequence called 'XTSMGRAPHICS' which also has an 'S' final character, but uses the private marker '?'. Without checking for a private marker, st will perform a scroll up operation when XTSMGRAPHICS is seen, which can cause unexpected display artifacts.
Add terminfo entries for bracketed paste mode
Helps Vim (and hopefully others) to discover that this feature exists without further user configuration.
Unhide cursor on RIS (\033c)
It is unclear if it's "required" to do this on RIS, but it's useful when calling reset(1) after interactive programs have crashed and garbled up the screen. FWIW, other terminals do it as well (tested with XTerm, VTE, Kitty, Alacritty, Linux VT).
Fix wide glyphs breaking "nowrap" mode
Consider the following example: printf '\e[?7l';\ for i in $(seq $(($(tput cols) - 1))); do printf a; done;\ printf '🙈\n';\ printf '\e[?7h' Even though MODE_WRAP has been disabled, the emoji appeared on the next line. This patch keeps wide glyphs on the same line and moves them to the right-most possible position.
Don't scroll selection on the other screen
Fixes garbage selections when switching to/from the alternate screen. How to reproduce: - Be in primary screen. - Select something. - Run this (switches to alternate screen, positions the cursor at the bottom, triggers selscroll(), and then goes back to primary screen): tput smcup; tput cup $(tput lines) 0; echo foo; tput rmcup - Notice how the (visual) selection now covers a different line. The reason is that selscroll() calls selnormalize() and that cannot find the original range anymore. It's all empty lines now, so it snaps to "select the whole line".
Fix bounds checks of dc.col
dc.collen is the length of dc.col, not the maximum index, hence if x is equal to dc.collen, then it's an error. With config.def.h, the last valid index is 259, so this correctly reports "black": $ printf '\033]4;259;?\e\\' 260 is an invalid index and this reports garbage instead of printing an error: $ printf '\033]4;260;?\e\\'
Makefile: remove the options target
The Makefile used to suppress output (by using @), so this target made sense at the time. But the Makefile should be simple and make debugging with less abstractions or fancy printing. The Makefile was made verbose and doesn't hide the build output, so remove this target. Prompted by a question on the mailing list about the options target.
Fix for wide character being incorrectly cleared on MODE_INSERT
Under insert mode, when inserting a normal character in front of a wide character, the affected region is shifted to the right by one cell. However, the empty cell is reset as if being a part of a wide character, causing the following cell being mishandled as a dummy cell. To reproduce the bug: printf '\033[4h' # set MODE_INSERT printf 妳好 printf '\033[4D' printf 'x' printf '\033[4l\n'
ignore C1 control characters in UTF-8 mode
Ignore processing and printing C1 control characters in UTF-8 mode. These are in the range: 0x80 - 0x9f. By default in st the mode is set to UTF-8. This matches more the behaviour of xterm with the options -u8 or +u8 also. Also see the xterm resource "allowC1Printable". Let me know if this breaks something, in most cases I don't think so. As usual a very good reference is: https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html
Add support for DSR response "OK" escape sequence
"VT100 defines an escape sequence [1] called Device Status Report (DSR). When the DSR sequence received is `csi 5n`, an "OK" response `csi 0n` is returned. This patch adds that "OK" response. I encountered this missing sequence when I noticed that fzf [2] would clobber my prompt whenever completing a find. To test that ST doesn't currently respond to `csi 5n`, use fzf's shell extension in ST's repo to complete the path for a file. my-fancy-prompt $ vim **<tab> <select a file> st.c Select a file with <enter>, and notice that fzf clobbers some or all of your prompt. After applying this patch, do the same test as above and notice that fzf has no longer clobbered your prompt by placing the file name in the correct position in your command. my-fancy-prompt $ vim **<tab> <select a file> my-fancy prompt $ vim st.c Thank you for considering my first patch submission.

Fixed OSC color reset without parameter->resets all colors
Adapted from (garbled) patch by wim <wim@thinkerwim.org> Additional notes: it should reset all the colors using xloadcols(). To reproduce: set a different (theme) color using some escape code, then reset it: printf '\x1b]104\x07'
fix buffer overflow when handling long composed input
To reproduce the issue: " If you already have the multi-key enabled on your system, then add this line to your ~/.XCompose file: [...] <question> <T> <E> <S> <T> <question> : "1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890" " Reported by and an initial patch by Andy Gozas <andy@gozas.me>, thanks! Adapted the patch, for now st (like dmenu) handles a fixed amount of composed characters, or otherwise ignores it. This is done for simplicity sake.

FAQ: document the color emojis crash issue which affected some systems is fixed
It is fixed in libXft 2.3.6: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxft/-/blob/libXft-2.3.5/NEWS
code-golfing: cleanup osc color related code
* adds missing function prototype * move xgetcolor() prototype to win.h (that's where all the other x.c func prototype seems to be declared at) * check for snprintf error/truncation * reduces code duplication for osc 10/11/12 * unify osc_color_response() and osc4_color_response() into a single function the latter two was suggested by Quentin Rameau in his patch review on the hackers list.
base64_digits: reduce scope, implicit zero, +1 size
the array is not accessed outside of base64dec() so it makes sense to limit it's scope to the related function. the static-storage duration of the array is kept intact. this also removes unnecessary explicit zeroing from the start and end of the array. anything that wasn't explicitly zero-ed will now be implicitly zero-ed instead. the validity of the new array can be easily confirmed via running this trivial loop: for (int i = 0; i < 255; ++i) assert(base64_digits[i] == base64_digits_old[i]); lastly, as pointed out by Roberto, the array needs to have 256 elements in order to able access it as any unsigned char as an index; the previous array had 255. however, this array will only be accessed at indexes which are isprint() || '=' (see `base64dec_getc()`), so reducing the size of the array to the highest printable ascii char (127 AFAIK) + 1 might also be a valid strategy.
avoid potential UB when using isprint()
all the ctype.h functions' argument must be representable as an unsigned char or as EOF, otherwise the behavior is undefined.
Delay redrawals on palette changes
Build on auto-sync and only mark window dirty on palette changes and let the event handler do the actual draw.
