# st - simple terminal
Forked from [https://github.com/shiva/st](https://github.com/shiva/st) for simplicity's sake, which is the suckless terminal (st) with some patches added:
+ copy to clipboard
+ solarized colors (light and dark toggleable)
+ vertcenter
+ scrollback with keyboard
+ scrollback with mouse
## My additions
+ Default font is system "mono" at 14pt
+ Toggle light/dark mode now Alt-Tab instead of the frequently conflicting F6
+ 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
### Transparency
I also have redone the transparency patch diff since it would fail to apply with too many of the other patches applied. See below for installation.
## 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 dont size -- Shift+Alt+Home
+ Paste -- Shift+Insert
## Installation for newbs
```
make
sudo make install
```
### Transparency
If you want transparency, run the following.
```
make clean
patch < patches/transparency.diff
make
sudo make install
```
And to remove transparency, just unapply the diff patch and reinstall.
```
make clean
patch -R < patches/transparency.diff
make
sudo make install
```
