# st - suckless terminal

My build of st, with focus on productivity and keyboard-driven workflow.

**NOTE** Some time ago I migrated away from st. This build should still work

fine, but it's not actively maintained anymore.

## Features

- transparency (need a third-party compositor)

- open a URL with alt+l

- copy a URL with alt+y

- scroll with alt + {j, k, u, d}

- zoom with alt+shift+ {j, k} or alt+ {-, =}

- reset zoom with alt+shift+l or alt+shift+ =

- insert arbitrary Unicode character with ctrl+shift+u

- synchronized rendering support

- fallback fonts

- spawn a new terminal in the same directory with ctrl+shift+return

- copy a command's output with alt+o

- read colorscheme and alpha from Xresources

- edit the terminal's visible contents in $EDITOR with alt+e

## Third-Party Dependencies

- any window compositor

## Installation

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

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

## References

I used these as sources of inspiration to see some examples of what can be done with st without relying solely on painful experimentation.

Also, the suckless website is a primary source for patches, which are obligatory for any decent st build.
