Note: In this video, the one configuration change that I made can ACTUALLY be changed on the fly using Ctrl+Shift+PgUp or Ctrl+Shift+PgDown. I should have changed something else like the font or color. Again though, this is just a basic introductory video to the st terminal.
I've switched into st about a week ago. xterm has the ability to change line height (increase the space between lines) by setting xterm*scaleHeight: 1.1 in .Xresources file. I'm wondering how to do something similar in st? I didn't find any patches related to the issue. Or maybe it's available by default (like font zooming for example) ?
I'm curious in perspectives on "best practices" for maintaining suckless utilities. It looks like you cloned the st repo into your home directory. What do you do when the branch is updated? Do you pull updates regularly? If so, do these pulls mess with your configuration? Just found the channel and enjoy the vids! Your DWM video has me thinking about switching from i3...
I can't say what the best practice is in this case. Others might have more insight into this... And perhaps there's a tool out there that manages it automatically. But I just keep my suckless app source in a ~/.tools directory. Then I've just been pulling updates whenever I notice changes at the suckless site that I want. I check maybe every other week. Then I manually merge changes in to my config.h. The good thing is the main config is checked in as a config.def.h. So it doesn't overwrite my config.h when I pull the latest changes. Also - I don't have massive patches applied to my St and dwm. I pretty much only configure key bindings and fonts. So updates rarely mess with my config. Brings up a good point - I may look into setting up a cron job to check for updates and notify me in some way so I don't have to manually check the suckless site. Glad you found the channel!
Good to see a new channel posting on suckless tools. Please keep posting more.
Good video! Yeah the Google logo had me kinda confused at first lol. Subbed!

just curious, which windpw manager are you using here?
In this video I'm using bspwm.

@@WesleyAda thanks for the input. It sounds like these tools require level of sophistication I'm not ready for. Still fun to watch you work them out!
Enjoying your videos..more suckless tools please
