User:Ghoti/USBL-Browser
Commands
One of the biggest advantages of using Uzbl is that nearly everything can be controlled by the keyboard. This is preferable to the traditional mouse/keyboard combo because less moving around of the hands is needed. Vim users will find Uzbl much easier to pick-up, especially as the default bindings loosely resemble Vim keystrokes. For instance, following a link requires the user to type fl
, and then the keystrokes in the box that appears next to each link on the page. Shortening the command to just f
in the config file allows for even faster navigation.
Below are basic, default commands that can be used with uzbl-browser and uzbl-tabbed. These commands can all be found in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/uzbl/config
(which is usually located in ~/.config/uzbl/config
). The default settings work well, but many users like to edit them to suit their preferences and in fact, it is encouraged to change this file to suit your needs. More help with editing the config file can be found on the Uzbl readme.
