7 elinks.conf - ELinks configuration file
12 set "<option>" = <value>
14 bind "<keymap>" "<key>" = "<action>"
20 The `elinks.conf` file contains configuration information for ELinks. It can
21 be used to configure the behaviour of ELinks in a wide variety of ways:
22 protocol behaviour, keybindings, colors used for rendering and for the user
25 It is read at startup and saved only when requested. All options described in
26 this document can be fully configured from within ELinks so no editing of
27 elinks.conf is needed.
29 Note that MIME-related options used for specifying handlers of various MIME
30 types are NOT described in this document. Documentation for these options can
31 be found at the ELinks homepage. Keybindings can also be specified in
32 elinks.conf. This is described in man:elinkskeys[5].
37 The syntax of the configuration file is very simple. The elinks.conf file is a
38 free-form ASCII text file. The file may contain extra tabs and newlines for
39 formatting purposes. Keywords in the file are case-sensitive. Comments may be
40 placed anywhere within the file (except within quotes). Comments begin with
41 the # character and end at the end of the line.
