# class "comm" is added to enable window managers (e.g dwm) to do specific things with them.
# st-altscreen is a built of st that doesn't have scrollback or extra keybindings, so it doesn't get in the way of whatever binds clients have.
# as a result it's lighter than the build of st i use for interactive use.
