ST terminal window size

Norma Jenkins · 2024-06-18 16:20:11

http://0x0.st/XTmE.png here the link. As you can see here ST terminal doesn't reach the end of the screen, how can I change this behaviour? I'm trying to like ST but is worse than other terminals, as an example Ctrl+Shift+t doesn't create a new terminal window unlike others and I can't scroll with the Mouse the window to see past outputs/commands.

Please replace the oversized image w/ a link.
This isn't st but your windowmanager - terminals (among others) typically set a base increment (run "xprop" and click the st window) to align their size to the size of a character rather than in single pixel increments.
You can use either https://st.suckless.org/patches/anygeometry/ or depending on your WM add a rule to not do this for maximized windows or st specifically.

Also please don't stash some shopping list into a thread, you're looking for https://st.suckless.org/patches/scrollback/ and https://st.suckless.org/patches/newterm/ (or maybe just tmux)

Well, the thing is all those patches fail to apply, I even tried a clean ST repository
