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

See suckless.org for more info.

Yeah, it's basically my terminal and no one elses. You can't easily remove the patches, so probably scurry along, curious browser. Nothing to see here.

• scrollback: add scrollback capabilities
  • scrollback: M-S-k, M-S-j to scroll
  • resizing reflows text
  • mouse wheel scrolls
• ligatures: ligature support
  • also using FiraCode Nerd Font for ligature support
• bold-is-not-bright: bold attribute doesn't use bright colors
• anysize: terminal doesn't enforce size (expected variant)
• copyurl: allows for copying urls to clipboard
  • M-u, M-S-u cycle forward, backward (resp.)
  • highlights the links and supports multiline links
• open copied url: opens the url from copyurl
  • M-Return to open the url with xdg-open
• undercurl: supports undercurl (ie, in nvim)
• w3m: w3mimg support for images (ie, in ranger with review_images_method = w3m)
• autocomplete: autocomplete words or fuzzily (or more if you want)
  • M-S-l, M-S-; complete word or fuzzyily
  • M-S-BackSpace reverts the completion back to the original text
• dracula: colorscheme

• C-S-{key} is Control + Shift + {key}
• M-{key} is Meta (Alt) + {key}
• M-S-{key} is Meta (Alt) + Shift + {key}

I use rm -f config.h; make && sudo make install && make clean after modifying config.def.h; do whatever feels comfy, though, and don't remove config.h if it has changes, obviously.

For undercurl support in tmux, add this to your .tmux.conf:

set -as terminal-overrides ',*:Smulx=\E[4::%p1%dm'  # undercurl support
set -as terminal-overrides ',*:Setulc=\E[58::2::%p1%{65536}%/%d::%p1%{256}%/%{255}%&%d::%p1%{255}%&%d%;m'  # underscore colours - needs tmux-3.0

Obviously, if you want ligatures, use a monospace font that supports ligatures.

In order to build st you need the Xlib header files.

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.
