Re: [dev] [st] toggle font
Surely, it would be better to use a separate control input stream, stdctl (or nstdctl), for configuration. Are you talking about keep, for example, file descriptor 3 for control operations?

Re: [dev] [st] toggle font
Eugh. That isn't the way anything else is configured. It's a pretty weird interface. config.h, argv switches and potentially keybindings are reasonable ways to configure programs. stdin is just silly. St, like all others graphic terminal emualtors, receive escape sequences which configure it, change color, set tittle screen, set blink ..., so add new private sequences for things like chage font is not only no stupid, is the correct way in this case. Once you have the sequence, which can only be inserted from the own terminal (for example with an echo), next step is allow these sequences in the non used standard input, so st could accept them from others programs.

I also need multiple fonts, but I find keeping several builds of st around works fine for me. I have 5 of them. Works fine: they live in separate dirs with only Makefile an config.h not symlinked to the master-st dir. Some features are fun to implement, but then you use them a day or two and forget. But since some days ago, every day I like this font switching on the fly more and more. And it comes effectively at no cost -- neither conceptual, nor syntactical. cheers --s_

[dev] [st] toggle font
Hi,
This patch (against tip) introduces an array of font names in the config
instead FONT and allows to cycle through them with Ctrl-PgUp at runtime.
I missed this feature a lot when light conditions and distance to
display change, often so with a notebook, even more when different
displays plugged. Of course, tmux helps -- kill, start new st, attach to
the right session --, but I like this approach more.
Someone might find it useful.
cheers,
