Luke's build of st - the simple (suckless) terminal
Forked from https://github.com/shiva/st for simplicity's sake, which is the suckless terminal (st) with some patches added:
- transparency
- copy to clipboard (alt-shift-c)
- Optional compatibility with
Xresources
andpywal
for dynamic colors - Solarized colors (light and dark toggleable)
- vertcenter
- scrollback with keyboard
- scrollback with mouse
- updated to latest version 0.8.1
My own additions
- Default font is system "mono" at 14pt, meaning the font will match your system font.
- Hold alt and press either ↑/↓ or the vim keys k/j to move up/down in the terminal.
- Alt-u and Alt-d scroll back/forward in history a page at a time.
- Alt-PageUp and Alt-PageDown scroll back/forward in history a page at a time.
- Transparency with solarized colors by default.
- Zoom in/out with Alt+Shift+k/j or u/d for larger intervals.
Terminal-specific mappings
(Additions before me.)
- Scroll through history -- Shift+PageUp/PageDown or Shift+Mouse wheel
- Increase/decrease font size -- Shift+Alt+PageUp/PageDown
- Return to default font size -- Shift+Alt+Home
- Paste -- Shift+Insert
Installation for newbs
make
sudo make install
Obviously, make
is required to build. fontconfig
is required for the default build, since it asks fontconfig
for your system monospace font. It might be obvious, but libX11
and libXft
are required as well. Chances are, you have all of this installed already.
Custom changes (config.def.h
or config.h
)
Solarized
By default, the terminal is transparent with a blackish background. There's a patch file solarized-alpha-toggle.patch
which you can use to remove the transparency and give it a typical deep, dark blue solarized background. Just run:
patch < solarized-alpha-toggle.patch
Then, run make
& sudo make install
again to install the new build. You make reverse the solarized background by running the same command as above, but giving patch
the -R
option as well.
Xresources
and pywal
/wal
compatibility
If you use wal
to maintain color schemes across your programs, you can use the xresources.patch
.
patch < xresources.patch
make && sudo make install
