+# st
+
+This is my patched version of st. The base version is directly from suckless.org.
+This belongs to my larbs installation script, but does not directly depend on it.
+It is supposed to work in the environment after the larbs-base-installation.
+
+## Patches
+
+The list below shows the currently applied patches to the master branch.
+
+- st-alpha-20220206-0.8.5.diff (adds transparency)
+- st-anysize-20220718-baa9357.diff (st leaves no gaps if the height/width doesn't match a multiple of
+  character height)
+- st-ligatures-scrollback-20230105-0.9.diff (scrollback compatible addition of ligatures)
+- st-scrollback-0.8.5.diff (add scrollback functionality)
+
+## Hotkeys
+
+There are various shortcuts and hotkeys used in this version. Included in my build are the following.
+
+| ModKey | Shift | Key             | Function        |
+| ------ | ----- | --------------- | --------------- |
+| Alt    |       | Break           | Send break      |
+| Alt    |       | Print           | Toggle printer  |
+| Alt    |       | Print           | Print screen    |
+|        | Shift | Insert          | Clipboard paste |
+| Alt    |       | c               | Clipboard copy  |
+| Alt    |       | v               | Clipboard paste |
+| Alt    |       | p               | Selected paste  |
+| Alt    |       | NumLock         | Toggle Numlock  |
+| Alt    |       | k               | Scroll up       |
+| Alt    |       | j               | Scroll down     |
+|        |       | MouseScrollUp   | Scroll up       |
+|        |       | MouseScrollDown | Scroll down     |
+| Alt    | Shift | u               | Zoom in         |
