st is a simple terminal emulator for X which sucks less.

Each patch applied to this version of st lives in a separate branch in this repository. Such a branch can either be a vanilla patch like they can be downloaded from the suckless website, or a modified patch, or a completely custom patch. Below you find all the applied patches in the order they were merged into the master branch of this repository.

• download my combined patch ‧ my alpha patch ‧ my xresources patch
• see combined branch ‧ alpha branch ‧ xresources branch

Combining alpha with xresources only makes sense, because they are often defined in the same Xresources file. Moreover, I patched the URXVT escape sequences into it as well. This will make st listen to pywal updates 💪.

Spawn a new terminal in the same folder with alt+enter 📺.

Jump between urls visible in terminal with alt+n (forward) or alt+m (backward) and copy the url to the clipboard. This patch is perfect in conjunction with the openclipboard patch. I modified the standard copyurl patch to work with multi-line urls 🌐. This patch is perfect in combination with openclipboard.

The keybinding alt+g opens whatever is on the clipboard with xdg-open📋. This patch is perfect in combination with copyurl.

St does not listen to the fallback fonts defined in your fontconfig: st will only use the first match. Hence to have proper fallback fonts defined, one needs to define those with the font2 patch.

Should be up to date with master.

A very similar build as v3, but with font ligatures.

A very similar build as v2 or master but with all the scrollback patches applied as well.

Enable font-ligatures. Note that a ligature-capable font needs to be defined as your primary st font for this to work. Turns out I don't actually like ligatures that much, so I disabled it in v3.

Scrollback is not implemented (in v2 and v3) with the scrollback patch. Instead, a separate tiny (suckless) program, sroll, is used which implements this feature. According to the suckless developers, this solution is much better than patching the scrollback in st itself.

However, the scrollback branch (used in v1) is still available in this repository. This branch contains all the scrollback patches together.

• In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.
• In order to have color-emojis in the terminal, you'll want libxft-bgra to be installed.

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

If you did not install st with make clean install, you must compile the st terminfo entry with the following command:

    tic -sx st.info

See the man page for additional details.

• The program st was based on Aurélien APTEL bt source code.
