Fork of suckless simple terminal (st)

Primary LanguageCMIT LicenseMIT

st - simple terminal

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

Deviations

This is a fork of st and therefore sucks a little more than the original in the following ways:

Another addition is the documentation of the new mouse/keyboard shortcuts and command line options from patches or my own changes to the st.1 man page.

Requirements

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

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

Documentation

Check out the source to see how things work. Read the st(1) man page for a quick overview of available options.

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.

Credits

This is a fork of the suckless simple terminal project which is based on Aurélien APTEL 's bt source code.
