# mostly look very impressive, but some sites will appear # 2 is use document colors, including background. # 1 is use document colors if available, except background To make the webpage display sanely as per console logic and to remove unnecessary formatting, use these settings: # document Tab completes some typed text on the address field from history and bookmarks. Rather than Ctrl+v it's better to have it Shift+Ins because this is the regular shortcut in consoles. Paste-clipboard, obviously, pastes to the address field from clipboard. Those g, h, and s are default shortcuts which can also be changed.Ĭoncerning the address field (go-to dialog), these keyboard bindings are handy: bind "edit" "Shift-Insert" = "paste-clipboard" type g to open the go-to dialog (there's no other address field but the go-to dialog the blank page is really completely blank) With go-to dialog at 0 and no homepage set, I have a blank page at Elinks startup. Otherwise you'd have to press Esc to get rid of it at every startup and every new tab. Since I don't want this dialog at every startup and at every new tab (yep, Elinks does tabs), I have this setting at 0. It's similar to Opera's F2 address field. # means also showing goto dialog on startup.Īt first startup, Elinks opens up the address field, called "go-to dialog". # Pop up goto dialog in newly created tabs when there's no homepage set. Startup # ELinks 0.12pre5 configuration file After some time and effort in those two dialogs, nf file becomes understandable and then it's possible to edit the file directly.Ī. When you open up Elinks the first time, you can open up configuration options by pressing o and keyboard settings by pressing k.
I mostly show the changes that emulate Opera plus some inevitable differences from Opera. Here are snippets from my nf file with comments. So, this post is for those who don't care so much about images and videos, but care a lot about text and urls. To me it makes sense as a replacement for Opera browser component, because I use Opera primarily to read and type, not watch images or videos. Only extremely configurable programs can be made to emulate some other program. In the graphical section, I have found nothing even remotely as convenient and configurable. There's no alternative to it as an internet suite. To put it bluntly, there's no other tool like Opera.
