If you want to change it you can modify tresize() and call to realloc
only if the new size is bigger than some variable where you store
the maximum until now. It is very simple patch and it can be a place
in the wiki.

Uhmmm. I didn't know this part. You should ask to Christoph Lohmann
because he is who maintains this part.

You can read the thread in [2], and you will understand why I am not
going to change this behaviour in the git version. Again the patch is
very simple, you only have to modify the values in the array Key located
in config.def.h. You can see that there are two rows for XK_KP_Delete and
XK_Delete for XK_ANY_MOD. If you join them in only one row them you will
be able to run suck programs inside of a suckless terminal. If you do
it you can add the patch to the wiki and we can add a link in the FAQ,
but again, my suggestion is send a patch to the programs that are
wrong.
