Agreed. Jeez, man! I'm answering to s many e-mails at once, that I might as well write a script for downloading, `sed`-ing the e-mail, answering to it and copying it, then pasting it deleting garbage.. Jokes aside, what the fuck did you start, Nikida? ;P > > Joking aside, this case you're

I feel the same way. Even the scrollback patched into St doesn't seem right (unless there's some other patch, I don't remember). Tmux fixes that, and.. well.. I prefer using Tmux, and it's pre-installed on OpenBSD, so what the hell? multiple cut-n-paste buffers? Could be one of more important thin

Whoah, that sounds really amazing! I'm glad you list SLOC and depends :) Althought there's 'xgrab' I think that grabs a RGB color code from screen, and is suckless, I remember reviewing it's source code like a year ago. I love such tools.. Is it possible to make, since you seem to be within the s
