It builds but it doesn't add any new description. It will just overwrite the previous st description. > First things I noticed: > 1.

This one is probably not your problem, but man and vim both > complain about the unrecognized terminal (but I should just set $TERM > to something else I guess). TERM is set to st-256colors and there's no description of its capabilities (= correct backspace keycode). Just change TERM to st or xterm but the emulation not quite ready yet for the latter; some things get messed up. But try it anyway, it might just work for you. You can change TERM directly in st.c. Maybe I should put that define in config.h... It's good to see some feedback on the list, I thought to no one was interested in the project :) I'm planning to write the current state of st on its page along with some information on what can be configured, etc.
