st - simple terminal

Forked from 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
