tmux

#zellij still not allowing to resize panes with the mouse is pretty much the only thing keeping me from switching over from #tmux 😅

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:

I’ve been using st + tmux daily on Slackware and it’s been solid: minimal, fast, predictable — exactly what I want on X11.

Someone was wondering about color emoji support in terminal using #OpenBSD. I never really checked before but on 7.8, it does work OOTB.

This is #Neomutt inside a #tmux session ran from #Xfce terminal. But it also works in plain #Xterm; since you have it render UTF-8 characters with DejaVu Sans for example.
