Noahs's build of st - the simple (suckless) terminal

The suckless terminal (st) with some additional features that make it literally the best terminal emulator ever:

Unique features (using dmenu)

follow urls by pressing alt-l
copy urls in the same way with alt-y
copy the output of commands with alt-o

Bindings for

scrollback with alt-↑/↓ or alt-pageup/down or shift while scrolling the mouse
OR vim-bindings: scroll up/down in history with alt-k and alt-j. Faster with alt-u/alt-d.
zoom/change font size: same bindings as above, but holding down shift as well. alt-home returns to default
copy text with alt-c, paste is alt-v or shift-insert

Pretty stuff

Compatibility with Xresources and pywal for dynamic colors.
Transparency/alpha, which is also adjustable from your Xresources.

Other st patches

Vertcenter
Scrollback
font2

Installation for newbs

git clone https://github.com/noah-vogt/st
cd st
sudo make install

Obviously, make is required to build. fontconfig is required for the default build, since it asks fontconfig for your system monospace font. It might be obvious, but libX11 and libXft are required as well. Chances are, you have all of this installed already.

On OpenBSD, be sure to edit config.mk first and remove -lrt from the $LIBS before compiling.

Be sure to have a composite manager (xcompmgr, picom, etc.) running if you want transparency.

How to configure dynamically with Xresources

For many key variables, this build of st will look for X settings set in either ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources. You must run xrdb on one of these files to load the settings.

For example, you can define your desired fonts, transparency or colors:

*.font:	Liberation Mono:pixelsize=12:antialias=true:autohint=true;
*.alpha: 0.9
*.color0: #111
...

The alpha value (for transparency) goes from 0 (transparent) to 1 (opaque).

Colors

To be clear about the color settings:

If there are Xresources colors defined, those will take priority.

Notes on Emojis and Special Characters

If st crashes when viewing emojis, install libxft-bgra from the AUR.

Note that some special characters may appear truncated if too wide. You might want to manually set your prefered emoji/special character font to a lower size in the config.h file to avoid this. By default, JoyPixels is used at a smaller size than the usual text.
