Re: Looking for a substitute terminal emulator.

I would recommend giving st a try, though without some patching it's a bit spartan (I don't really care/mind), but there is an an accessible solution which lets you choose what features you need/want and leave out the cruft of what you don't need/want. Once you are finished I suggest using this cleanup tool to neatly wrap things up.

Did mine manually. There probably is a way to add ST patches that works fine. But I lack the knowledge to do it properly. Using the patch command didn't work for me.

Where exactly are you failing? Does the first patch fail, or are you stuck on the second/third/etc., and don't know what to do with the .rej file?

Anyhow, Flexipatch (the ones mentioned by K0rpZ0uth as "an accessible solution") projects are there precisely so you don't have to effectively maintain a minifork of a suckless project yourself; thanks to how it uses preprocessor directives, code you don't want is stripped from the executable, so it generate minimalâ„¢ executables as the manual patching process would.

For the former: (methods of building ST)
It's been a while. About a couple of months. So my answer will only reflect on what I remember. Some patches did not work (boxdraw). Yeah I have no idea on what to do with the .rej file. So I ended up having to look at the .diff file and see which ones to add/remove.
Using the patch command was a hit or miss for me. Sometimes it would not compile, and even if it did, I'd get a segfault. while doing it manually guaranteed the results. Although a bit of an inconvenience, it is what has worked for me.

As for the latter: (flexipatch)
For clarification, I simply stated that I did it manually with the reasoning included. Not arguing nor disregarding his (K0rpZ0uth's) suggestion.
And to add in now that I didn't knew about the flexipatch repo/fork until now.

Just in case, these posts A look at terminal emulators in two parts 1 and 2 seem to reflect st (not sure if patched) is not that good on latency, it seems xterm is the winner.  Those two seem remarkably the same as 1 and 2.  That's 2018, but then there's this other post on 2024 Terminal Latency that seems to find the same without a patch, but then there's a re-generation of the tests on st with a patch (I don't see a reference for it) getting much better results, but still with xterm better.  st looks interesting in the amount of memory and resources required (some patches might notably change that I'd guess, like adding transparency and such), but the most appealing side of it is way less code (which again increases with patches), which xterm doesn't behave in this regard.  All in all, good old xterm is still rocking these days.  And yes, st with work seems able to improve, but it depends on one having to tweak it.

This topic, even though closed, has been really interesting to me.  Sorry for chiming in, and I appreciate the conversation.

@clappingsnowdrop, I did the edits because in the end having what I originally copied there was a misleading mistake, sorry about that.  Perhaps I didn't pay enough attention.  Just in case, alacritty is actually using the Mono version of Iosevka with just IosevkaTerm Nerd Font not sure why, that definitely influenced me, :)  And the nerd glyphs still show small regardles, like half the height, which is somehow weird, but I can still distinguish them so that's fine.  And having the Xresources settings specific to xterm and then copying them for uxterm just in case works, though not really required according to arch xterm wiki.  On another look, I decided to stick with IosevkaTerm Nerd Font Mono since when I'm tired it's easier for me to notice the difference between 0 and 8 with it, :)  Xterm settings are ok now I believe.  The xft when specifying the font is redundant when using faceName according to the man, but it doesn't hurt either.  If interested:

Makes it easy to match URLs and paths in the text with double click, but I'm debating if that's what I want because it breaks one word kind of default.  We'll see...

I see, so there's no need to specify which terminal. Specifying vt100 is good enough. Thanks.

What I don't like about xterm is that the output is slow with the command of ls with colors set:
Gave xterm a shot, configured it and it meets every requirement listed above, even the password hide prompt. But for some reason it's slow in output. About .002 ms per line of output from the command ls -lha (165 lines). Compared to all other terminals listed above where it's instantaneous.

A more exaggerated test of 1000 files
Code: [Select]
touch file-{1..1000}.txt

urxvt
time ls -lhart

real 0m0.009s
user 0m0.003s
sys 0m0.006s

xterm
time ls -lhart

real    0m1.010s
user    0m0.006s
sys     0m0.006s


Using xterm + tmux slightly helps, but output is still slower compared to st + tmux.
Been trying out different xterm options, but no luck on my end.

Just in case, on my side..

xterm
-------
real    0m0.012s
user    0m0.008s
sys     0m0.004s

rxvt-unicode
-------------
real   0m0.013s
user   0m0.005s
sys   0m0.008s

alacritty (just to compare)
---------------------------
real   0m0.010s
user   0m0.004s
sys   0m0.006s

Alacritty looks better but not for much, I mean pretty close.  I don't see the effect you notice on real for xterm.  Additional trials on xterm:

real    0m0.012s
user    0m0.005s
sys     0m0.007
------------------
real    0m0.038s
user    0m0.019s
sys     0m0.018
------------------
real    0m0.012s
user    0m0.003s
sys     0m0.009s
------------------

It seem pretty consistent.  On your posted xterm result I see the real value doesn't add up.  See in all other cases real = user + sys, and in the case posted that's not the case.  Could it be a singularity?

But this is not latency, rather throughput.  What st patches are you looking at?  I'm interest on what you find out with it, and what ends up being your choice.  On the Terminal Latency's post, a st contributor mentioned there's a balance between latency and throughput, and the OP there posted positive improvement, moving st 2nd place after xterm, meaning perhaps playing around with st one can get a good balance.

When having some time, to really take a look at the suggested st patches I will, but at a quick glance there were too many, and from the few I overlooked by their name, they looked sort of required, but again the list is huge for a quick glance, and it's hard to pick the ones which would improve latency (which by default is one of the worse if not the worst).

On your posted xterm result I see the real value doesn't add up.

st is compiled with both minimum and maximum latency set to 0
patches used: boxdraw, font2 and glyph wide support (one that is compatible with boxdraw)

If without LS_COLORS xterm is faster, but with it it is slower. Strange thing is that the gap is close if I use tmux.
