I will research on it thanks!

There's an invocation of tic(1M) in the install target of st's
Makefile. It installs st and variants to a place it sees fit in your
system, like /usr/lib/terminfo, or home directory. As you were
consistently mute about your system and the environment in which
programs fail on st for you, it would be *a lot* of work telling you
what exactly to do for each system where st can be expected to work
on. There are probably many.

Btw, please avoid top-posting around here.

Hi Quentin,

Thank you for the response. I also discovered that the problem is with
running 'vi' in st, as I have noticed 'vim' runs properly in st.

Thinking that the problem is due to terminfo not installed correctly,
if you could let me know how to correctly install terminfo, it would
be great, as being a beginner I am not aware of how it could be done
:)

Appreciate your help!


Regards,

Zohaib Khan

Sounds like you didn't install the terminfo correctly.

Alright, could you please specify your OS, Window manager, compiler,
compiler version, CFLAGS used when compiling st, your config.h
(if there is anything special there), the st version you're using
(revision hash if it's from git), the value of $EDITOR and $VISUAL

It works well for me


For me it simply doesn't fill the terminal with the /etc/sudoers in
the editor instead it trying to fill after the current position of the
cursor as I move the cursor up or down and the screen scrolls in doing
so.


are you sure you're using the right editor? have you tried invoking
'visudo' on a different terminal emulator?

Hi

You can just run 'visudo' in st and check if it does the job. Easy
enough to check, isnt it?

For me it simply doesn't fill the terminal with the /etc/sudoers in
the editor instead it trying to fill after the current position of the
cursor as I move the cursor up or down and the screen scrolls in doing
so.
