| A STATEMENT ON LEGACY SUPPORT | ||||
|  | ||||
| In the terminal world there is much cruft that comes from old and unsup‐ | ||||
| ported terminals that inherit incompatible modes  and  escape  sequences | ||||
| which noone is able to know, except when he/she comes from that time and | ||||
| developed a graphical vt100 emulator at that time. | ||||
|  | ||||
| One  goal  of  st is to only support what is really needed. When you en‐ | ||||
| counter a sequence which you really need, implement it.  But  while  you | ||||
| are  at it,  do not add the other cruft you might encounter while sneek‐ | ||||
| ing at other terminal emulators. History has bloated them and  there  is | ||||
| no real evidence that most of the sequences are used today. | ||||
