Moving from URxvt to st

I have been using URxvt terminal for a while, but was suffering many issues with it recently. In particular, I had a weird locale issue, leading to unicode encoding errors whenever I copy accentuated characters using primary keyboard, some weird issues due to urxvt-tabbed and it just blew up when I tried to get new unicode characters right in it (such as smileys).

A friend told me about st which may be quite daunting at first, especially since all the configuration is made statically in a C header file, but it is working incredibly well, and just doing the job fine.

I have a mirror repo with my own configuration in case you want to have a look at it. This reproduces most of my URxvt user experience, except from two things:

1. I don’t have any tabs in st. But this is not a real issue and I’d rather depend on another program to handle tabs, such as tmux or even i3.
2. I don’t have clickable URLs as I used to have in URxvt. But once again, after a few weeks without this feature, I prefer selecting and copy/pasting URLs rather than clicking on them. This way, I don’t open links unintentionally.

I was relying on a hack to get local notifications for my Weechat running through SSH + screen, using an extended escape sequence, and if you are also using it this commit will implement this behavior in st.
