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)
• vertcenter
• scrollback with keyboard
• scrollback with mouse

My own additions

• Default font is system "mono" at 14pt
• Fixed transparency patch (see below for installation)
• Toggle light/dark mode now Alt-Tab instead of the frequently conflicting F6
• 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

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

Installation for newbs

make
sudo make install

Solarized mode

The terminal is now transparent by default, if you want non-transparent solarized colors, run the following:

make clean
patch -R < patches/transparency.diff
make
sudo make install

You can change the transparency value by changing the alpha variable in the config.h file.
