Ignore processing and printing C1 control characters in UTF-8 mode.
These are in the range: 0x80 - 0x9f.
By default in st the mode is set to UTF-8.
This matches more the behaviour of xterm with the options -u8 or +u8 also.
Also see the xterm resource "allowC1Printable".
Let me know if this breaks something, in most cases I don't think so.
As usual a very good reference is:
https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html
"VT100 defines an escape sequence [1] called Device Status Report (DSR). When
the DSR sequence received is `csi 5n`, an "OK" response `csi 0n` is returned.
This patch adds that "OK" response.
I encountered this missing sequence when I noticed that fzf [2] would clobber
my prompt whenever completing a find.
To test that ST doesn't currently respond to `csi 5n`, use fzf's shell
extension in ST's repo to complete the path for a file.
my-fancy-prompt $ vim **<tab>
<select a file>
st.c
Select a file with <enter>, and notice that fzf clobbers some or all of your
prompt.
After applying this patch, do the same test as above and notice that fzf has no
longer clobbered your prompt by placing the file name in the correct position
in your command.
my-fancy-prompt $ vim **<tab>
<select a file>
my-fancy prompt $ vim st.c
Thank you for considering my first patch submission.

Patch slightly adapted with input from the mailinglist,
Adapted from (garbled) patch by wim <wim@thinkerwim.org>
Additional notes: it should reset all the colors using xloadcols().
To reproduce: set a different (theme) color using some escape code, then reset
it:
printf '\x1b]104\x07'
To reproduce the issue:
"
If you already have the multi-key enabled on your system, then add this line
to your ~/.XCompose file:
[...]

Reported by and an initial patch by Andy Gozas <andy@gozas.me>, thanks!
Adapted the patch, for now st (like dmenu) handles a fixed amount of composed
characters, or otherwise ignores it. This is done for simplicity sake.
* adds missing function prototype
* move xgetcolor() prototype to win.h (that's where all the other x.c
func prototype seems to be declared at)
* check for snprintf error/truncation
* reduces code duplication for osc 10/11/12
* unify osc_color_response() and osc4_color_response() into a single function
the latter two was suggested by Quentin Rameau in his patch review on
the hackers list.
the array is not accessed outside of base64dec() so it makes sense to
limit it's scope to the related function. the static-storage duration of
the array is kept intact.
this also removes unnecessary explicit zeroing from the start and end of
the array. anything that wasn't explicitly zero-ed will now be
implicitly zero-ed instead.
the validity of the new array can be easily confirmed via running this
trivial loop:
for (int i = 0; i < 255; ++i)
assert(base64_digits[i] == base64_digits_old[i]);
lastly, as pointed out by Roberto, the array needs to have 256 elements
in order to able access it as any unsigned char as an index; the
previous array had 255.
however, this array will only be accessed at indexes which are
isprint() || '=' (see `base64dec_getc()`), so reducing the size of the
array to the highest printable ascii char (127 AFAIK) + 1 might also be
a valid strategy.
This patch replaces the previous one I sent.
The following changes are made in this patch:
- Fix tracking of pressed buttons. Previously, pressing two buttons and
then releasing one would make st think no buttons are pressed, which
in particular broke MODE_MOUSEMOTION.
- Always send the lowest-numbered pressed button on motion events; when
no button is pressed for a motion event in MODE_MOUSEMANY, then send
a release. This matches the behaviour of xterm. (Previously, st sent
the most recently pressed button in the motion report.)
- Remove UB (?) access to potentially inactive struct member
e->xbutton.button of XEvent union.
- Fix (unlikely) possibility of overflow for large button numbers.
The one discrepancy I found between st and xterm is that xterm sometimes
encodes buttons with large numbers (>5) strangely. E.g., xterm reports
presses of buttons 8 and 9 as releases, whereas st properly (?) encodes
them as presses.
Overtyping the first half of a wide character with the
second half of a wide character results in display garbage.
This is because the trailing dummy is not cleaned up.
i.e. ATTR_WIDE, ATTR_WDUMMY, ATTR_WDUMMY
Here is a short script for demonstrating the behavior:
#!/bin/sh
alias printf=/usr/bin/printf
printf こんにちは！; sleep 2
printf '\x1b[5D'; sleep 2
printf へ; sleep 2
printf ' '; sleep 2
echo
from the XmbTextListToTextProperty(3) man page:
"If insufficient memory is available for the new value string, the functions
return XNoMemory. If the current locale is not supported, the functions return
XLocaleNotSupported. In both of these error cases, the functions do not set
text_prop_return."

In the current implementation, the slave PTY (assigned to the variable
`s') is always closed after duplicating it to file descriptors of
standard streams (0, 1, and 2). However, when the allocated slave PTY
`s' is already one of 0, 1, or 2, this causes unexpected closing of a
standard stream. The same problem occurs when the file descriptor of
the master PTY (the variable `m') is one of 0, 1, or 2.
In this patch, the original master PTY (m) is closed before it would
be overwritten by duplicated slave PTYs. The original slave PTY (s)
is closed only when it is not one of the stanrad streams.
The bits of uint signal in an XKeyEvent which concern the key group (keyboard
layout) are bits 13 and 14, as documented here:
https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/libX11/XKB/xkblib.html#Groups_and_Shift_Levels
In the older version, only bit 13 was marked as part of XK_SWITCH_MOD, this
causes issues for users who have more than two keymaps. the 14th bit is not
in ignoremod, key sequences are not caught by match(), if they switch to a third
or fourth keyboard.
These are typically mapped in X11 to the side-buttons (backward/forwards) on
the mouse. A comparison of the button numbers in SGR mode (first field):
st old:
0 1 2 64 65 66 67 68 69 70
st new (it is the same as xterm now):
0 1 2 64 65 66 67 128 129 130
A script to test and reproduce it, first argument is "h" (on) or "l" (off):
#!/bin/sh
printf '\x1b[?1000%s\x1b[?1006%s' "$1" "$1"
for n in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do
printf 'button %d\n' "$n"
xdotool click "$n"
printf '\n\n'
done

I discovered recently that if an application running inside st tries to
send a DCS string, subsequent Unicode characters get messed up. For
example, consider the following test-case:
printf '\303\277\033P\033\\\303\277'
...where:
- \303\277 is the UTF-8 encoding of U+00FF LATIN SMALL LETTER Y WITH
DIAERESIS (ÿ).
- \033P is ESC P, the token that begins a DCS string.
- \033\\ is ESC \, a token that ends a DCS string.
- \303\277 is the same ÿ character again.
If I run the above command in a VTE-based terminal, or xterm, or
QTerminal, or pterm (PuTTY), I get the output:
ÿÿ
...which is to say, the empty DCS string is ignored. However, if I run
that command inside st (as of commit 9ba7ecf), I get:
ÿÿ
...where those last two characters are \303\277 interpreted as ISO8859-1
characters, instead of UTF-8.
I spent some time tracing through the state machines in st.c, and so far
as I can tell, this is how it works currently:
- ESC P sets the "ESC_DCS" and "ESC_STR" flags, indicating that
incoming bytes should be collected into the strescseq buffer, rather
than being interpreted.
- ESC \ sets the "ESC_STR_END" flag (when ESC is received), and then
calls strhandle() (when \ is received) to interpret the collected
bytes.
- If the collected bytes begin with 'P' (i.e. if this was a DCS
string) strhandle() sets the "ESC_DCS" flag again, confusing the
state machine.
If my understanding is correct, fixing the problem should be as easy as
removing the line that sets ESC_DCS from strhandle():
diff --git a/st.c b/st.c
index ef8abd5..b5b805a 100644
--- a/st.c
+++ b/st.c

return;
case 'P': /* DCS -- Device Control String */
- term.mode |= ESC_DCS;
case '_': /* APC -- Application Program Command */
case '^': /* PM -- Privacy Message */
return;
I've tried the above patch and it fixes my problem, but I don't know if
it introduces any others.

Similar to the xterm AllowWindowOps option, this is an option to allow or
disallow certain (non-interactive) operations that can be insecure or
exploited.
NOTE: xsettitle() is not guarded by this because st does not support printing
the window title. Else this could be exploitable (arbitrary code execution).
Similar problems have been found in the past in other terminal emulators.
The sequence for base64-encoded clipboard copy is now guarded because it allows
a sequence written to the terminal to manipulate the clipboard of the running
user non-interactively, for example:
printf '\x1b]52;0;ZWNobyBoaQ0=\a'
