keyboard_select

Description

This patch allows you to select and copy text to primary buffer with keyboard shortcuts like the perl extension keyboard-select for urxvt.

Instructions

The patch changes the config.def.h. Delete your config.h or add the shortcut below if you use a custom one.

Shortcut shortcuts[] = {
    ...
    { TERMMOD, XK_s, keyboard_select, { 0 } },
};

Notes

When you run "keyboard_select", you have 3 modes available :

  • move mode : to set the start of the selection;
  • select mode : to activate and set the end of the selection;
  • input mode : to enter the search criteria.

Shortcuts for move and select modes :

 h, j, k, l:    move cursor left/down/up/right (also with arrow keys)
 !, _, *:       move cursor to the middle of the line/column/screen
 Backspace, $:  move cursor to the beginning/end of the line
 PgUp, PgDown : move cursor to the beginning/end of the column
 Home, End:     move cursor to the top/bottom left corner of the screen
 /, ?:          activate input mode and search up/down
 n, N:          repeat last search, up/down
 s:             toggle move/selection mode
 t:             toggle regular/rectangular selection type
 Return:        quit keyboard_select, keeping the highlight of the selection
 Escape:        quit keyboard_select

With h,j,k,l (also with arrow keys), you can use a quantifier. Enter a number before hitting the appropriate key.

Shortcuts for input mode :

 Return:       Return to the previous mode

scrollback

Description

Scroll back through terminal output using Shift+{PageUp, PageDown}.

patch on top of the previous to allow scrolling using Shift+MouseWheel.

patch on top of the previous two to allow scrollback using mouse wheel only when not in MODE_ALTSCREEN. For example the content is being scrolled instead of the scrollback buffer in less. Consequently the Shift modifier for scrolling is not needed anymore. Note: patches before 20191024-a2c479c might break mkeys other than scrolling functions.

patch on top of the first two to allow changing how fast the mouse scrolls.

Notes

  • Patches modify config.def.h, you need to add mkeys to your own config.h
  • With patches before 20191024-a2c479c: you can not have a mshortcut for the same mkey so remove Button4 and Button5 from mshortcuts in config.h
  • The mouse and altscreen patches 20191024-a2c479c (and later) are simpler and more robust because st gained better support for customized mouse shortcuts. As a result, the altscreen patch doesn't really need the mouse patch. However to keep it simple the instructions stay the same: the alrscreen patch still applies on top of the (now very minimal) mouse patch.

anysize

Description

By default, st's window size always snaps to the nearest multiple of the character size plus a fixed inner border (set with borderpx in config.h). When the size of st does not perfectly match the space allocated to it (when using a tiling WM, for example), unsightly gaps will appear between st and other apps, or between instances of st.

This patch allows st to resize to any pixel size, makes the inner border size dynamic, and centers the content of the terminal so that the left/right and top/bottom borders are balanced. With this patch, st on a tiling WM will always fill the entire space allocated to it.

one clipboard

Free Desktop mandates the user to remember which of two clipboards you are keeping selections in. If you switch between a terminal and browser, you might this UX jarring. This patch modifies st to work from one CLIPBOARD, the same as your browser.

Description

st by default only sets PRIMARY on selection since March 2015 according to the Freedesktop standard.

This patch makes st set CLIPBOARD on selection. Furthermore from st-clipboard-0.8.2.diff middle click pastes from CLIPBOARD.

You may want to replace selpaste with clippaste in your config.h to complete the affect.

relativeborder

Description

When working with a mixture of different DPI scales on different monitors, you need to use a flexible font that will size correctly no matter the DPI - for example, DejaVu Sans Mono-10. If you have a border set in pixels, this border will look vastly different in size depending on the DPI of your display.

This patch allows you to specify a border that is relative in size to the width of a cell in the terminal.

selectioncolors

Description

This patch adds the two color-settings selectionfg and selectionbg to config.def.h. Those define the fore- and background colors which are used when text on the screen is selected with the mouse. This removes the default behaviour which would simply reverse the colors.

Additionally, a third setting ingnoreselfg exists. If true then the setting selectionfg is ignored and the original foreground-colors of each cell are not changed during selection. Basically only the background-color would change. This might be more visually appealing to some folks.

xresources

Description

This patch adds the ability to configure st via Xresources. At startup, st will read and apply the resources named in the resources[] array in config.h.
