# Luke's build of st - the simple (suckless) terminal
Forked from [https://github.com/shiva/st](https://github.com/shiva/st) for simplicity's sake, which is the [suckless terminal (st)](https://st.suckless.org/) with some patches added:
+ transparency
+ copy to clipboard
+ ~~Solarized colors (light and dark toggleable)~~ (Change to your own colors, see no value of toggle)
+ vertcenter
+ scrollback with keyboard
+ scrollback with mouse
+ updated to latest version 0.8.1
## My own additions
+ Default font is system "mono" at 14pt
+ Alt-k and Alt-j scroll back/foward in history one line at a time
+ Alt-u and Alt-d scroll back/foward in history a page at a time
+ Applied colors, insipred by Pop! OS colors.
## 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
### Requirements for build
Install `base-devel` - compiler and stuff (most distros have).
Install code depndencies (voidlinux - most distro should have something similar)

```
make
sudo make install

## Custom changes (`config.def.h` or `config.h`)
### Alpha
+ Change `alpha` value (86 LOC), be default set `0xcd`.
+ Less transparent set to `0xdd` or `0xee`.
+ For non transparent terminal set to `0xff`.
### Colorname
+ Change `colorname[]` array values (88 LOC), default colours inspired by colors used in Pop! OS.
