Simple Terminal

Simple Terminal

This is my personal build of Suckless's Simple Terminal.

Each branch of this repository contains a feature implemented on top of the base build of St from Suckless.

All desired features are then merged into the current_config branch. The current build contains patches from all other branches, other than the alpha patch.

Patches

All patches that I have applied are located in patches.

Fonts and colors

Fonts:

• Cherry
• JoyPixels

Cherry is a bitmap font. If there are any issues with displaying this font, make sure the file /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf does not exist.

See below for notes about making sure JoyPixels, and emoji fonts in general, work properly.

Colors:

My colorschemes are available in colors.

The current build also supports reading Xresources. This is not necessary to replicate my build, but provides added convenience. If colors/settings are defined in Xresources, those settings will take precedence to the build in options.

Bindings

• Follow URLs: alt-l

• Copy URLs: alt-y

• Copy the output of commands: alt-o

• Scrollback: alt-↑/↓ or alt-pageup/pagedown or by scrolling while holding shift

• Scrollback with vim keys: alt-k/j; faster scrolling with alt-u/d

• Zoom: shift + alt-j/k alt-home returns zoom to default.

• Copy text: alt-c

• Paste text: alt-v or shift-insert

Use my build

Since my current build supports emoji's, it is required replace libXft with the patched version until the fix gets implemented in the official build.

libxft-bgra is available in the AUR.

After replacing the standard libXft, you can build and install St by cloning this repository (insuring you are on the current_config branch).

Finally, run:

# make install

After making changes, be sure to include the clean target when rebuilding St:

# make clean install
