| 1 A STATEMENT ON LEGACY SUPPORT | |
| 2 | |
| 3 In the terminal world there is much cruft that comes from old and unsup‐ | |
| 4 ported terminals that inherit incompatible modes and escape sequences | |
| 5 which noone is able to know, except when he/she comes from that time and | |
| 6 developed a graphical vt100 emulator at that time. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 One goal of st is to only support what is really needed. When you en‐ | |
| 9 counter a sequence which you really need, implement it. But while you | |
| 10 are at it, do not add the other cruft you might encounter while sneek‐ | |
| 11 ing at other terminal emulators. History has bloated them and there is | |
| 12 no real evidence that most of the sequences are used today. | |
