Just installed Gentoo for the first time and did some simple customization! Any tips for linux/gentoo beginner?

ST Scrollback for CLI stuff
I'm using this st fork with the scrollback patch, but it acts weird when I'm using CLI apps. In this video for example, I first open st, and can't scroll down, and then I open urxvt, showing a normal scroll Is there a way for the scroll feature in st work the same as in urxvt?

Cannot use Ctrl+Shift+Tab
I have applied the fix keyboard patch. However, the only key I have noticed to not function properly is . I am basically trying to bind this key to gT in nvim. I cannot even think of a reason as to why this only key will not work, I was able to bind , , and a bunch of other keys that are usually unavailable in terminals. I hope someone can pinpoint the issue with my system. For references, I am using Luke Smith's fork; here is mine.

You can take a look at Luks Smith's st: he points out that you can use different font for emoji with lower pixel size to avoid such truncating --- here is example from his config

Keyboard Shortcut Help
Fairly new to Linux and Arch, I am trying to rebind the terminal keyboard shortcut to open up st terminal instead of Konsole. I am using LukeSmithxyz fork of st (https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/st)

Any idea of what could be causing these hanging characters at the top of the lines in ST? More info in comments,
Been using Luke Smith's build of st for a while, and this problem just materialized about a week or two ago. Didn't really think much of it but I'm pretty confused. I didn't change anything in the source or config that might have caused this, so I'm looking for some help in pinpointing the issue. It doesn't appear to be dwm, as the same issue is present in i3. Also confirmed that it's not a compositing issue.

Major improvement in wrist fatigue?
I switched to Vim a little above a year ago. It is a keyboard-driven text editor. You can't open it and just start typing like notepad, you open it then you have to press a command to start typing—i or a are the most simple. When you are done typing, you press escape to leave insert ("text-editing") mode and go back into visual ("navigation") mode. You then write changes and close the editor with ZZ. Now, a few months before I started using my new keyboard, I started using a tiling Window Manager—dwm—which allowed me to do most of my window management and navigation with the keyboard alone.

Using Arch Linux
Now I had to get a “GUI” up and running. I had used KDE and GNOME on my old laptop before but I wanted to try something called a tiling window manager. If you didn’t know, tiling window managers basically automatically resize windows based on available space, so instead of having a bunch of windows overlapping each other like macOS or Windows, all of them are on the screen and visible to the user. For this, I was going to use a tiling window manager called dwm .

Moving between workspaces
I'm coming from https://dwm.suckless.org/ so I am very confused by the MacOS window manager. I know I can Control+{1..9} to move between Desktop workspaces, but that stops working if I full screen an Application? So how do people quickly move between a terminal and a certain browser profile? Bonus: How do remove that slow transition animation?

Wayland or X11 programming for beginners ?
You can also check out DWM (X11) written in 2000 SLOC, so should be easy to understand.

A window manager that doesn't require you to edit the source code for basic customization? Heresy! (googles how to open window in dwm)
People should be scared of editing source code. That keeps Noobs and people with jobs away

Update. If installed arch successfully with the German version of arch wiki.

What's the use of having multiple Desktops? Have never used it myself..wanted to know what people use it for..
I work mostly with full screen windows, or Monocle mode as dwm and the like call it. The trackpad makes it very easy to swipe between spaces and I keep things in a defined order so no matter what app I'm currently using I can quickly get to any other app.
- Suckless so called Philosophy
