# Luke's build of st - the simple (suckless) terminal
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The [suckless terminal (st)](https://st.suckless.org/) with some additional features that make it literally the best terminal emulator ever:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Unique features (using dmenu)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
+ **follow urls** by pressing `alt-u`
|
|
||||||
+ **copy urls** in the same way with `alt-y`
|
|
||||||
+ **copy the output of commands** with `alt-o`
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Bindings for
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
+ **scrolling**: scroll up/down in history with `alt-k` and `alt-j`.
|
|
||||||
+ **zoom/change font size**: zoom in with `alt-shift-u` and out with `alt-shift-i`.
|
|
||||||
+ **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](https://github.com/morhetz/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 for newbs
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
git clone https://github.com/TiynGER/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
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To be clear about the color settings:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- 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.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Note that when you run `wal`, it will negate the transparency of existing windows, but new windows will continue with the previously defined transparency.
