st - simple terminal

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

This is a WIP fork of Suckless' awesome ST, with some added features built-in:

  • Kept mostly in sync with upstream branch
  • Number of rows and columns are read from Xresources
  • Custom history size via Xresources
  • Added skiptaskbar and skippager XResources options
  • Added support for Xorg fullscreen mode via F11 key
  • For desktops with a dock (e.g. GNOME) an hardcoded RGBA icon is provided
  • Many other fixes here and there

This forks builds upon the offical ST release already patched with these st-patches:

  • st background alpha
  • clipboard support (xclip)
  • externalpipe
  • spoiler
  • allows to disable bold and italic fonts
  • scrollback and mouse scrollback
  • vertcenter
  • relativeborder
  • support loading options from xresources
  • boxdraw
  • sync patch

Requirements

In order to build st you need the Xlib header files. For the alpha patch, you also need XRender.

Additional required packages:

  • w3m
  • xurls
  • dmenu

Installation

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

Running st

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.
