It means that st doesn’t have any terminfo entry on your system. Chances are
-you did not make install. If you just want to test it without installing it,
-you can manualy run tic -s st.info in st dir. It will compile st.info into a
-fully working local terminfo description. You can delete it when you’re done.

+## Nothing works, and nothing is said about an unknown terminal!
* Some programs just assume they’re running in xterm i.e. they don’t rely …
terminfo. What you see is the current state of the “xterm compliance”.
* Some programs don’t complain about the lacking st description and default …
another terminal. In that case see the question about terminfo.

-Try lauching it with a different TERM: $ TERM=xterm myapp. toe(1) will give
-you a list of available terminals, but you’ll most likely switch between
-xterm, st or st-256color. The default value for TERM can be changed in
-config.h (TNAME).

-How do I scroll back up?
-
-Invoke st with a screen multiplexer like GNU screen[0] or tmux[1].
-st -e screen works better for text reflowing. To enter screen’s scroll
-back mode aka “copy mode”, it’s C-a ESC. You probably want defscrollback
-10000 in your ~/.screenrc too.

applications which want to test against keypad keys, have to send these

But buggy applications like bash and irssi for example don't do this. A fast
