Subject: 28.0.50; 2 second delay of emacsclient -nw on st-terminal
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2021 11:09:15 +0000

Hello,

Using st-terminal with emacs-28.0.50, the initial buffer stays the same
for 2 seconds before finding the file or locating the required
buffer. This is with both emacs -q and emacs -Q.

This setting seems to be controlled by xterm-query-timeout which by
default is 2 seconds.

Since there is already a lisp/term/st.el file, i think handling it the
same way it is handled for screen/tmux is a good idea.
(or maybe there is a better way?)

This was tested by running:
emacs -q (or -Q)
M-x server-start

in st-terminal:
emacsclient -nw /path/to/file


Another maybe irrelevant information is that it didn't do this in
emacs-27. looking at the git-log, there doesn't seem to be anything that
changed it's behavior but it still somehow got changed?

Thanks!

I've now adjusted st.el in Emacs 28 to use the same method as screen.el,
and that seems to make the two-second delay go away.
