Keybindings

In this section I will present the custom keybindings for st terminal.

Keybind	Function
Ctrl + Shift + U	Open a menu with web links from terminal
Ctrl + Shift + PgUp	Increase size of the terminal font
Ctrl + Shift + PgDown	Decrease size of the terminal font

Notes

1. To grab URL's from within the simple terminal, xurls package is necessary. For Arch Linux it can be downloaded from AUR. Also, I use a supplementary script named piper to open a selected link with a program of choice.

2. For transparency and other visual effects, a composition manager is required (i.e. compton or picom).
