Re: [dev] [st] Tip adds non-existing trailing whitespace upon mouse selection + fix
The GLYPH_SET flag can be used to compute the end of the line or we could add another flag like GLYPH_TAB when appropriate and test it in the copy function when it loops over the selection. Instead of adding GLYPH_TAB we could use directly \t in c and then we don't have to test anything in selcopy, but of couse we should check it in drawregion. But this solution doesn't fix this problem when you use a sequence to locate the cursor in some place of the screen.
Re: [dev] [st] toggle font
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. I also need this feature, but maybe could be done in other way. I talked about this with other persons of the list, and we liked let st be configured using the stdin of st, so you can do it something like: configurator | st And, for example, you could use dmenu and select the font you want to use.

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.

There is xdotool(1) and friends for such weird stuff. Noone is really using dmenu. It’s a bloated interface to text strings. Hopefully it will die soon. Sincerely, Christoph Lohmann

It's a pretty weird interface. config.h, argv switches and potentially keybindings are reasonable ways to configure programs. stdin is just silly. I wouldn't say that. I would say it depends very strongly on the application. For example for quite some time I have an idea of general key-binder, something like xbindkeys, except that it would not read any config files, but it would read configuration from stdin. This would allow simple key rebinding while application is already running without introducing inconsistent configuration loadings, i.e. from file and then some other way for rebinding on the fly. What I want to say that stdin for configuration/commands/options for (maybe just certain)gui applications can be a nice option (obviously for cli applications that is not the case, because there stdin is main input for data).
