Luke Smith's patched fork of the suckless simple terminal (st), a lightweight X11 terminal emulator written in C. It adds vim-style keybindings, scrollback, URL following/copying via dmenu, Xresources/pywal color compatibility, transparency, and common st patches like ligatures and boxdraw.
Use cases
- lightweight terminal emulator for X11
- terminal with vim keybindings for scrolling
- terminal that follows and copies URLs with dmenu
- dynamically theme terminal colors with Xresources and pywal
- transparent terminal with adjustable alpha
- terminal with ligature and font fallback support
When to choose
- you want a minimal, fast X11 terminal customized via source patches
- you prefer vim-style navigation and keyboard-driven URL handling
- you use pywal or Xresources for dynamic theming
When to avoid
- you need a GPU-accelerated terminal like alacritty or kitty
- you want a terminal that works on Wayland without X11
- you prefer configuration without recompiling the source
