I recommend going through st source: https://git.suckless.org/st/file/st.c.html

I may have fallen out of love to suckless.org, but the code is usually simple so one can at least learn from it.

Why have you fallen out of love to suckless? I recently switched from dwm back to bspwm and I was also looking for a st replacement, but couldn't find one. Which is ok, but were you able to find something "better" in the terminal emulator or window manager space?

I wanted/tried to be a part of the community. I could say I was not a cultural fit.

As much as I sympathize with cutting things down and making frugal software I am too messy to make it all work for my advantage. I now prefer to mix and match and not attaching myself to any group. But I am fond of the actual code. It is refreshingly simple and easy to track. I was using dwm the most from all of the projects and I still think of going back to it. Though currently I'm getting tired of software all together.

The fact that they're frickin' Nazis might have something to do with it: https://mobile.twitter.com/kuschku/status/115648842041336217...

I'm just a dumb American, but are torch hikes something only Nazis do? I've never heard of them.

Why not ask the local Klu Klux Klan chapter in your neighbourhood? They have a "fine" tradition of conducting such hikes.

Most recent example - Charlottesville?

It's not just the torch hikes, though those are strongly associated with Nazis, neo-Nazis, and American white supremacists.

It's also the naming of their mail server after Hitler's hidden base in Poland, and the railing against "cultural marxism" (itself a Nazi trope). Taken together, these things should register as "yep, probably a Nazi" even if one of them alone wouldn't.

No. Here in France they are sometimes organized as local events, sometimes they're used to --- surprise --- protest. We also have "descente aux flambeaux" (downhill skying with torches.)

I recommend it as well. It's the simplest terminal emulator I've found, other projects I've explored were a lot more complex.
