Simple, but cannot scroll! See, you can install patch for scrolling https://st.suckless.org/patches/scrollback/, this is crazy.

ST is super minimalist out-of-the-box, and highly configurable.

You can do everything in ST, you just have to install patches to add the features you need or configure/code them yourself to create new feature patches.

Excellent, small and simple project (code, interface)

What is ST - Simple Terminal?

st is a simple terminal implementation for X.

What is wrong with xterm icon xterm ? xterm is bloated and unmaintainable. Here’s an excerpt from the README:

Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here This is undoubtedly the most ugly program in the distribution. It was one of the first "serious" programs ported, and still has a lot of historical baggage. Ideally, there would be a general tty widget and then vt102 and tek4014 subwidgets so that they could be used in other programs. We are trying to clean things up as we go, but there is still a lot of work to do.

Needless to say things have not changed, it’s still ugly. It has over 65K lines of code and emulates obscure and obsolete terminals you will never need. The popular alternative, RXVT icon RXVT has only 32K lines of code. This is just too much for something as simple as a terminal emulator; it’s yet another example of code complexity.

Terminal emulation doesn't need to be so complex.
