Linboy's version of st - the simple (suckless) terminal

The suckless terminal (st) modified with additional features. Forked from lukesmith.

Unique features (using dmenu)

• follow urls by pressing alt-l
• copy urls in the same way with alt-y
• copy the output of commands with alt-o gsf

Bindings for

• scrollback with alt-↑/↓ or alt-pageup/down or shift while scrolling the mouse
• OR vim-bindings: scroll up/down in history with alt-k and alt-j. Faster with alt-u/alt-d.
• zoom/change font size: same bindings as above, but holding down shift as well. alt-home returns to default
• copy text with alt-c, paste is alt-v or shift-insert

Pretty stuff

• Compatibility with Xresources and pywal for dynamic colors. The Xdefaults file shows a usage example.
• Default gruvbox colors otherwise.
• Transparency/alpha, which is also adjustable from your Xresources.
• Default font is system "mono" at 16pt, meaning the font will match your system font.

Other st patches

• Vertcenter
• Scrollback
• font2
• updated to latest version 0.8.2

Installation

git clone https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/st
cd st
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.

On OpenBSD, be sure to edit config.mk first and remove -lrt from the $LIBS before compiling.

Be sure to have a composite manager (xcompmgr, compton, etc.) running if you want transparency.

How to configure dynamically with Xresources

For many key variables, this build of st will look for X settings set in either ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources. You must run xrdb on one of these files to load the settings.

For example, you can define your desired fonts, transparency or colors:

*.font:	Liberation Mono:pixelsize=12:antialias=true:autohint=true;
*.alpha: 0.9
*.color0: #111
...

The alpha value (for transparency) goes from 0 (transparent) to 1 (opaque).

Colors

• This build will use gruvbox colors by default and as a fallback.
• If there are Xresources colors defined, those will take priority.
• But if wal has run in your session, its colors will take priority.

Todo

• Nothing Really, this is a pretty good build, thanks lukesmithxyz
