flarity - A personal terminal emulator.

flarity is a fork of st constrained with usability as the main goal of it.

Keybinds

• Normal scroll with mouse and Alt+Up and Alt+Down;
• Greater scroll with Alt+PageUp and Alt+PageDown;
• Ctrl+Shift+V to paste text;
• Ctrl+Shift+C or Middle Button of Mouse copies the selected text;
• Shift+Enter opens a new terminal in the same path;
• Shift+Backspace opens a new terminal with the title "float" so that the window manager can make it float.
• Middle Button of Mouse copies selected text.
• Shift + Middle Button of Mouse pastes copied text.
• CTRL+Backspace returns F36+F35 sequence, I use this on nvim and zsh. It's preferable compared to
  • noremap! <F36><F35> <C-w> nvim
  • inoremap <F36><F35> <C-w> nvim
  • bindkey '^[[24;5~^[[23;5~' backward-kill-word zsh

Support

  • sequence is 4:3, 4:0 to reset
• history (default: 2000 lines)
• Emojis (a.k.a. fallback fonts).

Installation

First, install this package in your system: libxft-bgra.

Clone somewhere in your system:

$ git clone https://github.com/beyondmagic/flarity
$ cd flarity
# make install
$ flarity

If you want to, edit config.mk to match your local setup (flarity is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).

Then run tic -x -o ~/.terminfo flarity.info to have support in multiple terminal programs that use undercurls.
