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

Forked from https://github.com/shiva/st for simplicity's sake, which is the suckless terminal (st) with some patches added:

• transparency
• copy to clipboard
• Solarized colors (light and dark toggleable) (Change to your own colors, see no value of toggle)
• vertcenter
• scrollback with keyboard
• scrollback with mouse
• updated to latest version 0.8.1

My own additions

• Default font is system "mono" at 14pt
• Alt-k and Alt-j scroll back/foward in history one line at a time
• Alt-u and Alt-d scroll back/foward in history a page at a time
• Applied colors, insipred by Pop! OS colors.

Terminal-specific mappings

(Additions before me.)

• Scroll through history -- Shift+PageUp/PageDown or Shift+Mouse wheel
• Increase/decrease font size -- Shift+Alt+PageUp/PageDown
• Return to default font size -- Shift+Alt+Home
• Paste -- Shift+Insert
