The suckless terminal (st) with some additional, very opinionated and personal features (mostly cosmetics):

This build is pretty much based on Luke's st build, but customized from original st git sources, rather then being a Luke's fork (I just happened to use his source as reference for applying patches).

• scrollback with alt-↑/↓ or alt-pageup/down or just mousewheel (without holding shift or any other modifier)
• 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 ctrl+shift or alt+mouse wheel. alt-home returns to default
• copy/paste text is changed to Emacs-ish bindings. Copy with ctrl-w or alt-w, paste is ctrl-y or shift-insert
• delete key will delete one character to the right. You can hold down alt/ctrl to delete form cursor to the end/beginning of the word.
• backspace key will delete one character to the left. Holding down alt/ctrl will delete form cursor to the beginning/end of the word (yes it's delete reversed).
• Quit st with ctrl-q.

• No resource files parsing at startup.
• Default (and only) theme is Solarized dark.
• Transparency/alpha, which is also adjustable as startup flag.
• Default font is Mark Simonsons Anonymous Pro I use same font in Emacs, so it matches my setup that way. Size is 18pt, because I am getting old. Yeah! Small terminal fonts are kind-a not my thingy any more.
• Default cursor is set to bar (from box), again because I use same in Emacs, so it matches my setup.

• Scrollback
• Scrollback with mouse
• font2
• updated to latest version 0.8.2
• st-no-bold-colors (to get correct Solarized colors)
• quitst - just some trivia I added for the sake of consistency with other applications.
• compiled with speed opt flags
• changed borderpx to 0
• cursor shaped changed to bar
• histsize set to 20 000
• fps is changed to 60, bc my monitor does not support more anyway (59 to be exact).

Obviously, make is required to build. fontconfig is required for the default build, since it asks fontconfig for your system 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, compton, etc.) running if you want transparency.

You can't! :-) Xresource patch is removed in this build. I don't switch themes or care much about terminal colours honestly, so I don't find this very usefull. I would rather spare my cpu of parsing xrdb settings.

Alpha is set to be completely opaque, but you can easily change this by passing command line argument, for example: st -A 0.8, or just recompile with desired alpha. The alpha value (for transparency) goes from 0 (transparent) to 1 (opaque). By default it is 1 (completely opaque). Honestly I don't use alpha, but I left the path sit there.

Custom changes are done in config.h rather than config.def.h.

It is quite easy to add back Luke's features I don't use. If you wish to use those, I have just commented out his coe (I tested it, but it wasn't for me), so you can uncomment and recompile.

If you prefer to compile st for small size (-Os), change flags in config.mk. It can shave off about 10k ~ 20k from the binary. Current flags are -Ofast -march=native -mtune=native. I am not sure it really matters, anyway, cool to test.

To be clear about the color settings:

• This build uses Solarized dark colors only by default and by any other means :-). I use same colour scheme for ls-colors, Emacs and Rofi and never switch themes either so I prefer to hardcode my theme. For that reason Xresources patch is removed.
