-## My own additions
 
++ Adjustable transparency/alpha
++ Compatibility with `Xresources` and `pywal` for dynamic colors
++ Copy to clipboard (alt-shift-c)
 + Default font is system "mono" at 14pt, meaning the font will match your system font.
 + Hold alt and press either ↑/↓ or the vim keys k/j to move up/down in the terminal.
++ Shift+Mouse wheel will as well.
 + Alt-u and Alt-d scroll back/forward in history a page at a time.
-+ Alt-PageUp and Alt-PageDown scroll back/forward in history a page at a time.
++ Alt-PageUp and Alt-PageDown will do the same.
-+ Transparency with solarized colors by default.
 + Zoom in/out with Alt+Shift+k/j or u/d for larger intervals.
++ Vertcenter
++ Optional solarized colors (light and dark toggleable)
++ updated to latest version 0.8.1
