2 .TH CONKEROR 1 "June 4, 2008"
4 conkeror \(hy a web browser modeled after Emacs
11 This manual page documents briefly
14 \fBconkeror\fP is a web browser based on xulrunner, the Mozilla
15 application framework that also powers Mozilla Firefox. It can be
16 controlled completely with the keyboard. The keybindings are very
17 similar to those from Emacs, so Emacs users should immediately feel at
20 This program has the same options as all other xulrunner applications.
21 A summary of more important options is included below. All options are
22 listed by calling \fBconkeror \-\-help\fP.
25 Show summary of options.
28 Show version of program.
30 .B \-\-display=DISPLAY
34 Start with profile <profile>
37 Start with ProfileManager.
40 Open new instance, not a new window in running instance.
42 .B \-UILocale <locale>
43 Start with <locale> resources as UI Locale.
46 Disables extensions and themes for this session.
49 Open the Error console.
51 Similar to Emacs conkeror works with windows and buffers instead of
54 When changing buffers with \fBC\(hyx b\fP or killing buffers with \fBC\(hyx
55 k\fP, you can cut down the list of buffers by typing a few characters
56 hich filters the list for buffers which match these characters and
57 then choosing them from the matching list of buffers with cursor keys.
59 The same idea is present with bookmarks: Bookmarks are looked up by
60 pressing \fBg\fP to go to a new page and then start typing parts of the
61 bookmarks title or URL.
63 If you want to bookmark a page with \fBb\fP and the page has frames or
64 inline frames (e.g. advertisments) you will be asked which frame to
65 bookmark. If you want to bookmark the whole page with all frames,
68 If you want to copy the link of the current page, press \fBc\fP for
69 copy link and then type \fB0\fP for the current page instead of a link
72 Instead of typing the link number when following or copying a link,
73 you can also type a part of the linked text. If don't type a number
74 and one links is already active (e.g. after going back one page in the
75 history) that link will be selected.
78 When you start it up initially you see the help page with all
79 informations and a tutorial on how to use conkeror. You alway come
80 back there by typing \fBC\(hyh i\fP which means pressing and holding the
81 Control key (on PCs this often is the Alt key) and then pressing
82 "i". The tutorial can be reached by pressing \fBC\(hyh t\fP.
84 This is a short list of the most important keybindings:
90 Open an URL in a new buffer.
93 Open an URL in the current buffer by editing the current URL.
102 Change to previous buffer
105 Change to next buffer
117 Follow a link and open it in a new window
120 Copy a link to clipboard
126 Go to previous page (Backward) in page history
129 Go to next page (Forward) in page history
132 Go to previous page (Backward) in site navigation (if present)
135 Go to next page (Forward) in site navigation (if present)
138 Stop (loading a the page, incremental search, etc.)
141 Incremental search forward
144 Incremental search backward
152 conkeror (respectively xulrunner) sometimes hangs at \-\-help (and
153 possibly other situations) if /dev/random does not provide enough
156 conkeror doesn't give feedback if a spawned external process crashes
157 or exits unsuccessfully.
