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. .Pp When .Nm starts up, it reads settings from its configuration file, .Pa xxxterm.conf . See the .Sx CONFIGURATION FILES section below. .Pp The following notation is used throughout this page: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact .It Cm M Meta .It Cm S Shift .It Cm C Control .It Cm M1 Mouse button 1 .El .Pp .Nm is very simple in its use. Most of the actions are initiated via key or mouse bindings. See the .Sx BINDINGS section below for defaults and customizations. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl f Ar file Use alternate config file. .It Fl S Disable the toolbar. .It Fl T Disable visualization of tabs. .It Fl t Disable tabs. .It Fl n Open a new tab in a running .Nm for each specified url. This option requires enable_socket to be enabled. .It Fl V Display version and exit. .El .Sh CONFIGURATION FILES .Nm tries to open the user specific file, .Pa ~/.xxxterm.conf . If that file is unavailable, it then uses built-in defaults. .Pp The format of the file is \*(Ltkeyword\*(Gt = \*(Ltsetting\*(Gt. For example: .Pp .Dl http_proxy = http://127.0.0.1:8080 .Pp Enabling or disabling an option is done by using 1 or 0 respectively. .Pp The file supports the following keywords: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "title_class_enabledXXX" -offset indent -compact .It Cm ctrl_click_focus Give focus in newly created tab instead of opening it in the background. .It Cm read_only_cookies Mark cookies file read-only and discard all cookies once the sessions is terminated. .It Cm append_next When set a new tab is appended after the current tab instead of being appended as the last tab. .It Cm cookies_enabled Enable cookies. .It Cm allow_volatile_cookies If set cookies are stored in the session cache but will be discarded once .Nm exits. Unfortunately enabling this does allow for some limited tracking on the web. .It Cm enable_scripts Enable scripts. .It Cm enable_plugins Enable plugins. .It Cm default_font_size Set the default browsing font size. .It Cm http_proxy Proxy server in URI format. .It Cm download_dir Locations where files are downloaded to. This directory must exist and .Nm validates that during startup. .It Cm fancy_bar Enables a backward, forward and stop button to the toolbar. Additionally if search_string is set it'll enable an entry box for searches. .It Cm refresh_interval Refresh interval while in the download manager. Default is 10. .It Cm session_timeout If this value is greater than 3600 then it is the time added in seconds to a session cookie. If the value is smaller than 3600 then there is no change to the expiration of a session cookie. .It Cm enable_cookie_white list When enabled all cookies must be in the white list or they are rejected. .It Cm cookie_wl This is a cookie white list item. Use multiple times to add multiple entries. Valid entries are for example *.moo.com and the equivalent .moo.com. A fully qualified host is also valid and is for example www.moo.com. .It Cm cookie_policy This field delineates the cookie policy. Possible values are: no3rdparty, reject 3rd party cookies. accept, accept all cookies. reject, reject all cookies. .It Cm enable_js_whitelist When enabled all domains must be in the js white list in order to run javascript. NOTE: Make sure enable_scripts is set to 0. .It Cm js_wl This is a javascript white list item. See cookie_wl for semantics and more details. .It Cm search_string Default search engine string. See xxxterm.conf file for details. .It Cm mime_type Sets an action for a specific or default MIME type. For example, to download and view a pdf using kpdf set mime_type = application/pdf,kpdf. To set a default value use *, for example mime_type = video/*,mplayer. Note that the action is only passed the URI and not all applications are capable of downloading content and therefore one might have to create a wrapper script to download the content first. .It Cm alias Defines an alias for a given URL, so that the URL is loaded when the alias is entered in the address bar. If the aliased URL includes a %s format specifier, then any argument given after the alias on the address bar is substituted. For example, if g,http://www.google.com/search?q=%s is defined as an alias, then the URL http://www.google.com/search?q=foo is loaded when navigating to "g foo". .It Cm ssl_ca_file If set to a valid PEM file all server certificates will be validated against it. The URL bar will be colored green when the certificate is trusted and yellow when untrusted. .Pp If ssl_ca_file is not set then the URL bar will color all https connections red. .It Cm ssl_strict_certs If this value is set connections to untrusted sites will be aborted. This value is only used if ssl_ca_file is set. .It Cm enable_socket When enabled the first instance of .Nm will create a socket in the ~/.xxxterm directory. Using the -n url option on subsequent .Nm invocations will cause the specified url to be loaded in a new tab. Only a user with identical UID and GID can use this option. .It Cm single_instance If set only one .Nm will be permitted to run. If there is a url specified it will be opened in a new tab in the already running .Nm session. .It Cm runtime_settings This setting points to a filename in the .xxxterm work directory that contains runtime configuration entries. This file is parsed as a normal configuration file and will override settings since it is read at a later time. One should only use this file to add js_wl, cookie_wl and mime_type entries. This file is machine generated and should not be edited by hand. .El .Pp .Nm overrides http_proxy if it is specified as an environment variable. .Sh BINDINGS .Nm provides many functions (or actions) accessed via key or mouse bindings. .Pp The current mouse bindings are described below: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "tabnew, tabedit, tabe [URI]" -offset indent -compact .It Cm C-M1 Open new tab with the clicked link. .El .Pp The default key bindings are described below. .Pp Search: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "tabnew, tabedit, tabe [URI]" -offset indent -compact .It Cm / Start a search .It Cm ?
