Roberto E. Vargas Caballero f471a32d29 Unhighlight selection when selection is owner by other window st marks the active selection using reverse colors in the box selection, but once that another window becomes owner of the selection, it is very confusing that st keeps highlight the old selection. Usually terminal emulators remove the highlight when it is not valid anymore. X sends a SelectionClear event in this situation, so we only have to add a callback which unhighlight the selectin box. --- st.c \| 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+)		2012-09-05 21:55:45 +02:00

st - simple terminal
--------------------
st is a simple virtual terminal emulator for X which sucks less.


Requirements
------------
In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install


Running st
----------
If you don't install st, define TNAME to "xterm" in config.h or make sure to at
least compile st terminfo entry with the following command:

    tic -s st.info

It should print the path of the compiled terminfo entry. You can
safely remove it if you don't plan to use st anymore.
See the man page for additional details.
