# Keybindings

In this section I will present the custom keybindings for `st` terminal.

|		 Keybind		|					Function				|

|:---------------------:|:-----------------------------------------:|

| Ctrl + Shift + U		| Open a menu with web links from terminal	|

| Ctrl + Shift + PgUp	| Increase size of the terminal font		|

| Ctrl + Shift + PgDown | Decrease size of the terminal font		|

# Notes

1. To grab URL's from within the simple terminal, `xurls` package is necessary. For Arch Linux it can be downloaded from [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xurls/). Also, I use a supplementary script named ***[piper](http://arza.us/paste/piper)*** to open a selected link with a program of choice.

2. For transparency and other visual effects, a composition manager is required (i.e. compton or picom).
