NAME
     xxxterm - Lightweight web browser with vi key bindings

SYNOPSIS
     xxxterm

DESCRIPTION
     xxxterm is a minimalistic web browser that tries to stay out of the way
     so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more important
     stuff.  It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language
     to do any configuration.  It was written by hackers for hackers and it
     strives to be small, compact and fast.

     When xxxterm starts up, it reads settings from its configuration file,
     xxxterm.conf.  See the CONFIGURATION FILES section below.

     The following notation is used throughout this page:

           M       Meta
           S       Shift
           C       Control
           M1      Mouse button 1

     xxxterm is very simple in its use.  Most of the actions are initiated via
     key or mouse bindings.  See the BINDINGS section below for defaults and
     customizations.

CONFIGURATION FILES
     xxxterm tries to open the user specific file, ~/.xxxterm.conf.  If that
     file is unavailable, it then uses built-in defaults.

     The format of the file is <keyword> = <setting>.  For example:

           http_proxy = http://127.0.0.1:8080

     Enabling or disabling an option is done by using 1 or 0 respectively.

     The file supports the following keywords:

           ctrl_click_focus        Give focus in newly created tab instead of
                                   opening it in the background.
           read_only_cookies       Mark cookies file read-only and discard all
                                   cookies once the sessions is terminated.
           cookies_enabled         Enable cookies.
           enable_scripts          Enable scripts.
           enable_plugins          Enable plugins.
           default_font_size       Set the default browsing font size.
           http_proxy              Proxy server in URI format.
           download_dir            Locations where files are downloaded to.
                                   This directory must exist and xxxterm vali-
                                   dates that during startup.

BINDINGS
     xxxterm provides many functions (or actions) accessed via key or mouse
     bindings.
