Fast and "Simple" Terminal emulator from the suckless project.

This patchset is based entirely on St-Graphics. Specifically, on the graphics-with-patches branch. but removed some useless patches that isnt needed for modern use. And some useless newline ttywrite.

I also modified Xresources to include more options.

• Kitty graphics protocol - Renders images using the modern kitty protocol, this provides high quality image viewing directly in the terminal
• Boxdraw - Renders texts in neat boxes so TUI programs dont have gaps between texts
• Alpha - Transparency support
• xresources with signal reloading - Configure st via Xresources and signal reloading. Modified it slightly to include more options.
• Scrollback
• Wide glyph support - Fixes wide glyphs truncation
• Ligatures - Proper drawing of ligatures.
• Appsync - Better draw timing to reduce flicker/tearing and improve animation smoothness.
• Blinking cursor - Allows the use of a blinking cursor.
• Desktop entry - This enables to find st in a graphical menu and to display it with a nice icon.
• Drag n drop - This patch adds XDND Drag-and-Drop support for st.
• Dynamic cursor color - Swaps the colors of your cursor and the character you're currently on (much like alacritty).
• Bold is not bright - This patch makes bold text rendered simply as bold, leaving the color unaffected.
• swap mouse - This patch changes the mouse shape to the global default when the running program subscribes for mouse events, for instance, in programs like ranger, yazi and fzf.
• Unfocused-cursor - Removes the outlined rectangle, making the cursor invisible when the window is unfocused.
• Anysize - this patch is applied and on by default. If you want the "expected" anysize behavior (no centering), set anysize_halign and anysize_valign to zero in config.h.
• Support for XTWINOPS control sequences.
• Suport for font decorations like underlines, colour and styling.

(Zoom)
ctrl + {=, shift + plus}     Zoom in 
ctrl + minus                 Zoom Out
ctrl + g                     Reset zoom

First off you need to install the dependencies if you havent already

Core Dependencies

• X11: Xlib, libX11, libXft, libXrender
• Font Handling: fontconfig, freetype2
• Text Shaping: harfbuzz (for ligatures support)
• Image Loading: imlib2 (likely for graphics/sixel support)
• System/Compression: zlib, libutil, libm
• Build Tools: gcc, make, pkg-config, tic (terminfo compiler)

Runtime Dependency:

• Config Loader: xorg-xrdb

Platform-Specific (Android/Termux)

• libshmemu: Used for shared memory emulation on Android.

git clone https://github.com/welpyes/st.git
cd st
make
make install

By default, the terminal doesnt ship with any colourschemes or font so you have to provide it yourself in ~/.Xresources.
so to load stuff on startup, please put this in your .xinitrc or your startup script

xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

Font and Terminal settings

• st.font - Main font family used by the terminal using the fontconfig syntax.
• st.font2.N - You can add as much font as you want by incrementing the N, same syntax as above.
• st.termname - Terminal name basically. defauly is st-256color.
• st.borderpx - Terminal margins, measured in pixels.

st.font:                Ioskeley Mono:style:regular:pixelsize=18
st.font2.0:             Symbols Nerd Font Mono:pixelsize=18
st.font2.1:             Whatever Font Mono:pixelsize=18
st.termname:            st-256color
st.borderpx:            1

Behavior and other settings

• st.alpha - Changes the opacity of the terminal.
• st.tabspaces - Idk if it works but it makes the tab spaces, and you can specify the amount of them.
• st.blinktimeout - The blink interval of the prompt, highly depends on your shell's setup.
• st.bellvolume - Idk what this is but i mapped it anyways
• st.cursorstyle - Changes the style of your cursor, highly depends on your shell's setup.
• st.minlatency & st.maxlatency - Latency between redraws pls read Appsync
• st.doubleclicktimeout & st.tripleclicktimeout - Determines the double and triple click speed.
• st.boxdraw - toggles boxdraw; 1 for true, 0 for false
• st.boxdraw_bold - toggles boxdraw bold; 1 for true, 0 for false

and either restart st or reload it using:

kill -USR1 $(pgrep -x st)
