I was invoking yash exactly like that. On OpenBSD 7.5, this causes
typing a command and pressing the Home key to position the cursor to
the beginning of the command line in the spawned shell.

However, now I notice when executing st, then typing

        export TERM=linux-s
        yash

that typing a command and pressing Home doesn't do anything.

What restores the behavior of the Home key, however, is typing (from
the same instance of yash)

        export TERM=st-256color
        
*or any* of the following:

        export TERM=st
        export TERM=tmux
        export TERM=tmux-256color

as stated earlier. After any single command from the list above is
executed, typing a command and pressing Home positions the cursor to the
beginning of the command line.
