How to make your terminal suck less

There comes a point in any Linux user's life where they have to figure out which terminal emulator to use. Chances are if you are using a desktop environment like GNOME (default with ubuntu) or KDE you’ve stuck with the stock terminal and not given it any thought, right? But doing this leaves a lot out when it comes to having a comfortable experience on Linux.

There are may options for terminal emulators, you could choose the slick-looking Hyper.jsor the GPU accelerated alacrity maybe even the utility-focused terminator. Each of these inherently has its pros and cons but ill have to say, in my mind, there is a terminal to rule them all - st.

st, also known as suckless terminal, is a small, lightweight, and fast terminal emulator from the suckless community. Before we talk more about st, we must talk about the driving force behind suckless. The suckless philosophy is to ‘focus on simplicity, clarity, and frugality. [to] keep things simple, minimal and usable‘ which means a lot for their programs, they are all fast light and efficient but on top of this, they have unrivaled modularity and customizability due to the simple, readable nature of their source code. This means that the members of the community can develop patches and changes independently of the master source code.

So why does this make st so good?

I’m glad you asked because there are a lotta things.

It can run on anything

It’s speedy as

there are no messy config files

It supports UTF-8 out of the box

clipboard support

true 256 colors

To someone who hasn’t done much research around the topic, this all seems kinda lackluster, but when you find something like even the beloved URXVT has issues with the clipboard every feature you can get is a bonus. What makes this even more impressive is this

| Emulator | Lines of code | |----------|---------------| | xterm | 65K | | urxvt | 32K | | st | <5K |

How do I get started

Now, that's easy, the steps are:

Clone the source repo

Make any config edits

Run sudo make install

1. Clone source repo

I have a GitHub repo with the patches I use applied e.g.

follow URLs by pressing alt-l

copy URLs in the same way with alt-y

Copy the output of commands with alt-o

Compatibility with Xresources and pywal for dynamic colors.

Default gruvbox colors otherwise.

Transparency/alpha, which is also adjustable from your Xresources.

zoom/change font size

copy text with alt-c, paste is alt-v or shift-insert

and lots more view it here

Download my fork with:

git clone https://github.com/manfromth3m0oN/st.git

2. Config edits

Now st does not have ‘traditional’ config files, this is because you don't just download a binary and run it, you compile st from source. So to edit the config of st enter into the cloned folder with cd st Now open config.h with your favorite text editor (I recommend nvim). All of the options are commented so I won't go over them here. There is nothing essential to change, unless you don’t use sh then you need to change the static char *shell = "/bin/sh"; line to your appropriate shell (e.g. ZSH or fish etc)

3. Compile and install

This step is probably the easiest all you have to do is install with sudo make install This works provided you have make and gcc installed if you don't just use:

sudo apt-get install make gcc OR sudo pacman -S make gcc OR install make & gcc with whatever package manager you have

Now you can start using st

Now just start the st binary however your distro or wm/de does so for i3 edit your i3/config file

# start a terminal bindsym $mod+Return exec st (or whatever *termname is in config.h)

Closing thoughts

st is not a terminal built for someone who is brand new to the Unix ecosystem, but using it from the beginning can teach you a lot about how your system runs. Use st, and all the other suckless utilities for that matter, to help further your understanding of Linux so that you can be the most efficient user you can. After all, that is what the modern Linux philosophy is.

Thank you all for reading

Liste nützlicher freier Software

Freie Software nutzen statt Sklaven der Internetgiganten sein

Seit mehr als 10 Jahren predigen wir für die Nutzung von freier offener Software (Open Source). Nur Programme, deren Quellcode von allen einsehbar ist kann überprüft werden, wie sie mit den Daten der Nutzer umgehen und eventuelle Hintertüren werden scheller entdeckt.

Vor 10 Jahren haben wir eine Liste angelegt, die für die verschiedensten Anwendungsgebiete Programme aufführen. Natürlich müsste man diese Liste ständig updaten - das haben wir nicht geschafft. Nun wurden uns wieder eine ganze Reihe nützlicher Programme genannt, die besonders für den Bereich Handy/Smartphone geeignet sind. Wir wollen die einfach mal hier aufführen und sind für Hinweise und Bewertungen an kontakt@aktion-fsa.de dankbar. Bei Gelegenheit werden wir dann beide Listen zusammenführen.

Freie offene Software für Android Smartphones ist am besten über F-Droid herunterzuladen. Das gilt für die meisten Programme der folgenden Liste, andere gibt es direkt bei den Entwicklerorganisationen, wie mozilla.org oder die Free Software Foundation.

How to install Windows Terminal on Windows 10 from Microsoft Store

Just like the Terminal on Linux, the Command Prompt on Windows is also a powerful tool, if not as powerful as that of Linux Terminal. From carrying out some administrative tasks on Windows to using SSH and access the Linux shell, which you can learn more about here, the Windows Command Prompt is really useful. The Windows PowerShell, which is somewhat similar to Command Prompt has some neat improvements over the default command line, i.e. Command Prompt for Windows. Keeping the features apart, there are even some customization options available for Command Prompt and Windows PowerShell. But the default PowerShell and Windows Command Prompt has some limitations. Unlike most Terminal emulators available for Linux, neither Windows Command Prompt, nor Windows PowerShell has support for multiple tabs, which is something that really matters to people who work extensively with either Windows PowerShell or Windows Command Prompt or both. However you can open multiple Command Prompt or PowerShell windows, but that isn’t convenient at all. You can understand, exactly what I mean by saying that. But recently the Microsoft new Terminal is available for Windows 10; it is a great tool to use both Windows PowerShell and Windows Command Prompt under the same roof. So let’s get started with how you can download, install and use the new Windows terminal on your Windows 10 PC. Read the full article
