st - simple terminal

--------------------

st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.

This is a WIP fork of Suckless' awesome [ST](http://st.suckless.org), with some added features built-in:

  - Kept mostly in sync with upstream branch

  - Number of rows and columns are read from Xresources

  - Custom history size via Xresources

  - Added skiptaskbar and skippager XResources options

  - Added support for Xorg fullscreen mode via F11 key

  - For desktops with a dock (e.g. GNOME) an hardcoded RGBA icon is provided

  - Many other fixes here and there

This forks builds upon the offical ST release already patched with these [st-patches](https://st.suckless.org/patches/):

  - st background alpha

  - clipboard support (xclip)

  - externalpipe

  - spoiler

  - allows to disable bold and italic fonts

  - scrollback and mouse scrollback

  - vertcenter

  - relativeborder

  - support loading options from xresources

  - boxdraw

  - sync patch

Requirements

------------

In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.

For the alpha patch, you also need XRender.

Additional required packages:

  - w3m

  - xurls

  - dmenu

Installation

------------

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (st is installed into

the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install st (if

necessary as root):

    make clean install

Running st

----------

If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile

the st terminfo entry with the following command:

    tic -sx st.info

See the man page for additional details.
