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. |
