From Newsgroup: alt.os.linux.slackware

Here is a patch for
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/15.0/desktop/foot/
which is out of date. It is a little ahead of this project https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds/tree/current/desktop/foot
but probably does not fit in the LQ thread since it technically
builds. Foot should use its own TERM value and not cheese to xterm
because it's not xterm. If you want to try Foot, note it needs "fcft" as
well. I'm not mailing the maintainer because Gmail bounces my email.
