23 .Nd lightweight web browser
29 .Op Fl s Ar session_name
34 is a minimalistic web browser that tries to stay out of the way so that
35 valuable screen real estate can be used for much more important stuff.
36 It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language to do any
38 It was written by hackers for hackers
39 and it strives to be small, compact, and fast.
42 is very simple in its use.
43 Most actions are initiated via key or mouse bindings.
44 Key bindings are based on those of the
47 giving web browsing a similar feel to navigating a text document.
50 section below documents the various defaults and possible customizations.
52 The options are as follows:
55 Specify an alternative configuration file.
57 Open a new tab in a running
59 for each specified URL.
64 Execute arbitrary command (see the
66 section below) in a running
68 instance. This option requires
70 to be enabled. Example run: xxxterm -e "tabnew openbsd.org"; xxxterm -e
71 tabclose; xxxterm -e wq.
74 .It Fl s Ar session_name
75 Open session that was saved with ":session save" command.
77 Disable visualization of tabs.
81 Display version and exit.
84 The following notation is used throughout this page:
86 .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
92 Meta 1 (sometimes marked Alt)
98 Meta 4 (sometimes marked Windows)
105 To browse to a specific address,
106 either use the mouse to click on the address bar
109 to shift the keyboard focus to the address bar.
110 The address is then entered manually.
112 The mouse can be used to navigate the page in the traditional manner,
113 or the keyboard can be used instead.
118 will scroll up and down the page.
121 either click on it or use the
125 assign numbers to each link on the page;
126 entering that number on the keyboard will prompt
131 provides many actions accessed via key or mouse bindings.
132 Most can be reprogrammed using a
134 entry in the configuration file.
135 Each keyboard shortcut requires exactly one entry in the configuration file.
136 A shortcut can have multiple entries in the configuration file.
137 The format of the keybinding entry is as follows:
139 .D1 keybinding = action,(!)keystroke(s)
141 For example, "keybinding = tabnew,C-t" where
147 GTK has some default keybindings for manipulating text inside input
148 fields, such as the URI or search entry widget, for example
150 deletes a word. To override these defaults prefix your key with an
151 exclamation mark, like this: "keybinding = tabclose,!C-w".
154 key word is special and is meant to reset the key binding list to the GTK+
156 This keyword should be the first
158 entry in the configuration file.
160 Shift should be used sparingly since it gets in the way of non-USA keyboards.
161 See the accompanying configuration file for examples.
163 The various bindings are documented below.
164 The relevant keybinding action is given afterwards, in parentheses.
166 These commands are used to focus or unfocus input on the default input of a web
169 .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
171 Go to command mode; unfocus current entry on web page.
174 Go to insert mode; focus on default entry on web page.

682 Pressing Esc or switching to another tab cancels a partially entered
683 buffer command. In the following list
685 denotes the argument a buffer command accepts. Buffer commands are
686 defined as extended regular experssions.
687 Note that if a character is used as a shortcut it will not be interpreted
688 as the beginning of a buffer command. This is the case with

708 level up means going to a URI obtained from the current one by removing
709 the last slash ('/') character and everything that follows it
711 go to the root level, i.e. going up as many levels as possible.
713 open the home page in the current tab
715 set a mark denoted by
717 at the current page position. These marks behave like those in vi or
719 .It Cm ['][a-zA-Z0-9']
720 go to the position where mark
722 was set. The special mark "'" points to the previous page position, after a

725 set the current uri as quickmark
728 open the uri marked as quickmark
732 open the uri marked as quickmark
761 set zoom level to 100%
768 Quickmarks are like bookmarks, except they are refered to by a single
769 character (a letter or a digit), instead of a longer name. See the
774 buffer commands for usage. Quickmarks are stored in
775 .Pa ~/.xxxterm/quickmarks
776 and are saved automatically after each
780 The about screens are internally generated web pages by
782 for user interaction.
783 These are entered in the address bar and the format is
785 where screen is the desired screen to display.
786 For example about:favorites.

824 has a number of whitelists to control blocking cookies and Java Script
825 execution for FQDNs or domains.
826 When properly enabled these whitelists require either the FQDN or top level
827 domain to exist in the whitelists in order to allow cookies to be stored or
828 Java Script to execute.
829 Both Java Script and cookies have two whitelists associated with them.
830 The whitelists are called session and persistent.
831 Items in the session whitelists are only allowed for the lifetime of the
834 Items in the persistent whitelists are stored on disk and are restored
837 Setting up the whitelists is a little tricky due to intricacies of WebKit.
838 In fact the semantics are different for cookies and Java Script.
840 Cookie whitelist requires the following configuration to be set:
842 .Bl -tag -width "enable_cookie_whitelistXXX" -offset indent -compact
843 .It Cm cookies_enabled
844 This is a WebKit setting and must be set to
847 in order to be able to use a
849 .It Cm enable_cookie_whitelist
850 This needs to be set to
852 to enable the cookie whitelist functionality.
854 These entries in the configuration file are the actual domains names in the
858 Java Script whitelist requires the following configuration to be set:
860 .Bl -tag -width "enable_js_whitelistXXX" -offset indent -compact
861 .It Cm enable_scripts
862 This is a WebKit setting and must be set to
865 in order to be able to use a
866 Java Script whitelist.
867 .It Cm enable_js_whitelist
868 This needs to be set to
870 to enable the Java Script whitelist functionality.
872 These entries in the configuration file are the actual domains names in the
873 Java Script whitelist.
876 Plugin whitelist requires the following configuration to be set:
878 .Bl -tag -width "enable_plugin_whitelistXXX" -offset indent -compact
879 .It Cm enable_plugins
880 This is a WebKit setting and must be set to
883 in order to be able to use a
885 .It Cm enable_plugin_whitelist
886 This needs to be set to
888 to enable the plugin whitelist functionality.
890 These entries in the configuration file are the actual domains names in the
896 section for additional configuration file entries and details
897 that alter runtime behavior.
899 .Bl -tag -width "/etc/xxxterm.confXXX" -compact
900 .It Pa ~/.xxxterm.conf
902 user specific settings.
909 tries to open the user specific file,
910 .Pa ~/.xxxterm.conf .
911 If that file is unavailable,
912 it then uses built-in defaults.
914 The format of the file is \*(Ltkeyword\*(Gt = \*(Ltsetting\*(Gt.
917 .Dl http_proxy = http://127.0.0.1:8080
919 Enabling or disabling an option is done by using 1 or 0 respectively.
921 The file supports the following keywords:
923 .Bl -tag -width "enable_cookie_whitelistXXX" -offset indent -compact
925 Defines an alias for a given URL, so that the URL is loaded when the alias is
926 entered in the address bar.
927 If the aliased URL includes a %s format specifier, then any argument given after
928 the alias on the address bar is substituted.
929 For example, if g,http://www.google.com/search?q=%s is defined as an alias,
930 then the URL http://www.google.com/search?q=foo is loaded when navigating to
932 .It Cm allow_volatile_cookies
933 If set cookies are stored in the session cache but will be discarded once
936 Unfortunately enabling this does allow for some limited tracking on the web.
938 When set a new tab is appended after the current tab instead of being appended
940 .It Cm auto_load_images
941 If disabled, images will not be loaded automatically.
942 .It Cm autofocus_onload
943 When set a tab that is loaded will attempt to autofocus the default input
945 This is only done for tabs that are currently visible.
949 browser has 3 default operating modes:
957 mode the browser allows all cookies, plugins and Java Script as any other
959 This means that all cookies are saved to persistent storage and that all
960 Java Script and plugins run.
962 On the other hand, using the
964 mode enables whitelists.
965 This requires the user to add all the required
971 If a domain does not appear in the whitelists
973 disallows cookies, Java Script and plugin execution.
977 mode the browse works just like
979 mode however the toolbar only has the backward, forward and home button.
981 This setting must be the first entry in
983 because it sets advanced settings that can be overridden later in the file.
984 See the default config file for more details.
986 Set the command prompt font.
988 .Pa cmd_font = monospace normal 9 .
989 .It Cm color_visited_uris
990 When enabled (the default)
992 will color visited links. This is done while the web page loads using
993 JavaScript, rather than WebKit's (broken, see bug #51747) built-in
994 facility for coloring visited links. The JavaScript approach is
995 (probably) slower and is not consistent across tabs (unless the tabs are
996 reloaded), but has the advantage of not leaking history data to web
997 pages (see http://wtikay.com/docs/details.html).
999 This field delineates the cookie policy.
1000 Possible values are: no3rdparty, reject 3rd party cookies.
1001 accept, accept all cookies.
1002 reject, reject all cookies.
1004 This is a cookie whitelist item.
1005 Use multiple times to add multiple entries.
