st

My build of st.

Bindings

• scroll with alt-j, alt-k or alt-pgup, alt-pgdn or alt-↑, alt-↓. Scroll faster with alt-u, alt-d.
• change font size with the same bindings as above, but with holding down shift. Reset with alt-home.
• change transparency with alt-a, alt-s.
• copy text with alt-y, paste with alt-p or shift-insert.
• copy command output with alt-o, open urls with alt-l, and copy urls with alt-i.
