dwb is an extremely fast, lightweight and flexible web browser using the webkit engine. It is customizable through its web interface and fully usable with keyboard shortcuts.
Contents
Installation
The dwb package can be found in the official repositories and can be installed with pacman.
# pacman -S dwb
There are also other versions in the AUR: dwb-hgAUR, dwb-gtk3AUR, and dwb-gtk3-hgAUR.
Basic usage
Starting from a fresh configuration, use Template:KeypressTemplate:Keypress to open the Keys page. As you can see from there, most bindings are borrowed from Vim and Emacs.
Use Template:Keypress to access the command prompt. You can use Template:Keypress to auto-complete.
Read the man page for more details.
$ man dwb
Configuration
Almost everything can be configured from the Settings page. You can access it with Template:KeypressTemplate:Keypress by default.
The configuration files are stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dwb/
(usually ~/.config/dwb/
).
Search engines
Use Template:KeypressTemplate:Keypress to create a search engine from the first input field on the web page. Use Template:Keypress to switch between fields. Then enter a keyword.
Now you can use the keyword in the URI prompt to search directly on the corresponding website.
The first entry in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dwb/searchengines
will be the default search engine.
Custom keybinds
You can create custom key bindings by editing file custom_keys
in the profile directory. This is
~/.config/dwb/default
by default. All keysyms which don't emit (multi)byte characters, must be enclosed in @
. One keybind can execute multiple dwb commands. These commands execute in same order as they are defined in bind, and must be separated by ;;
separator. If the keybind's chord is already bound by dwb, it might be ignored (behaviour is not consistent). In such case one can try to check, whether there is collison with binds defined in ~/.config/dwb/keys
and try to unbind the chord there (eg set it to nothing). Any running dwb instance will owerwrite keys
file on exit, so remember to do your modifications while dwb is not runing or use default dwb interface (S k).
~/.config/dwb/default/custom_keys
Control w :close_tab Control @Page_Up@ :focus_prev Control @Page_Down@ :focus_next
Extensions
dwb features an extension manager as a separate executable, dwbem. You can use it to install various extension. For example
$ dwbem -i youtube_html5
will make dwb play all Youtube videos using an HTML5 player instead of the Flash player.
To list all officially available extensions, use:
$ dwbem -a
Read the man page for more details.
Adblock
dwb features an Adblock extension. Install it with
$ dwbem -i adblock_subscriptions
Restart dwb, use the adblock_subscribe command and choose your favorite lists of filters.
Userscripts
dwb can execute .js or .sh scripts put in ~/.config/dwb/userscripts/
. Make sure they are executable:
chmod +x ~/.config/dwb/userscripts/myscript.js
Below are some example scripts:
startup-noautoreload
Prevents previously-opened tabs from reloading all at once after a restart.
~/.config/dwb/userscripts/startup-noautoreload.js
//!javascript // prevents previously-opened tabs from reloading all at once after a restart. execute("set load-on-focus true"); var sigId = signals.connect("navigation", function(wv) { if (wv == tabs.current) { execute("set load-on-focus false"); signals.disconnect(sigId); } });
youtube-mplayer
Opens YouTube videos with mplayer (requires mplayer and youtube-dl).
~/.config/dwb/userscripts/youtube-mplayer.js
//!javascript // opens YouTube videos with mplayer. var regex = new RegExp("http(.*)://www.youtube.com/watch\\?(.*&)*v=.*"); signals.connect("navigation", function (wv, frame, request) { if (wv.mainFrame == frame && regex.test(request.uri)) system.spawn("sh -c 'mplayer \"$(youtube-dl -g " + request.uri + ")\"'"); return false; });
Stylesheets
Stylesheets can be defined in the Settings page under user-stylesheet-uri file:///home/tux/.config/dwb/stylesheet.css
Troubleshooting
HTML5 audio and video does not work
Make sure you have the following GStreamer packages installed:
# pacman -S --needed gstreamer0.10 gstreamer0.10-bad gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins gstreamer0.10-base gstreamer0.10-base-plugins gstreamer0.10-good gstreamer0.10-good-plugins gstreamer0.10-ugly gstreamer0.10-ugly-plugins
Search engines always search for undefined
If you are always searching for undefined even with the searchengine-submit-pattern
option set, then you should edit $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dwb/searchengines
and adapt the URIs to match your searchengine-submit-pattern
.
Fuzzy font in Github
Add this in your ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf inside the fontconfig-tags:
<selectfont> <rejectfont> <pattern> <patelt name="family"> <string>Clean</string> </patelt> </pattern> </rejectfont> </selectfont>
