1 Goals
2 =====
3
4 This page is to discuss and maybe add comments on the future of st.
5
6 TODO
7 ----
8 * see the TODO file in the [repository](//git.suckless.org/st/plain/TODO)
9
10 Theoretical features
11 --------------------
12 * st should keep a pointer to the beginning of the oldest line, because we
13 would like to keep lines and not part of them (pancake).
14 * Edit previous text in the terminal like in Plan 9 and 9term (jt_).
15
16 Goals
17 -----
18 * Have a working graphical terminal for terminal applications.
19 * Do not reimplement tmux and his comrades.
20
21 Non-goals
22 ---------
23 * Filters that change colour (should be done by tmux or something doing the
24 higher layers in st).
25 * Server to save sessions in case of X crash (should be done by dtach or tmux).
26 * Unlimited scrollback buffer (done by dvtm or tmux).
27 * URL selecting/launching in browser similiar to vimperator's mark mode and the
28 urxvt script. However, this can be done by a simple shortcut in dwm which will
29 launch your plumber on the current select buffer. St has easy select through
30 double-click. This keeps the complex logic out of the st context.
