wyeb is a vim-like webkit2gtk web browser. wyeb is inspired by dwb and luakit, so basically usage is similar to them.
This is free and open source software.
Features include:
- Editable main page. It is a markdown text containing bookmarks. e key opens it by a text editor. As this, all settings are thrown to text editors.
- Monitored conf files. For example, do echo “* {color:red \!important}” >> user.css on the conf dir(key c). It should be applied immediately.
- Settings per URI matched regular expression. e on a page adds URI to the conf and opens it. And another thing, ctrl-i/s and v switch setting ‘set:’ can be edited.
- Open actions. Most of actions assigned to keys can be accessed by shell. For example, context-menu items we added are just shell scripts.
- Suffix. wyeb X “” “” spawns a process using different dirs added the suffix ‘X’ for all data.
- Hacked Hinting. For pages having javascript.
- Window List. Key z
- No tab. But keys J/K/x/X or button actions. tabbed wyeb plugto works though. Make sure tabbed takes no notice of the reordering of wins without adding if(sel != c) focus(c); to the configure event.
- Rocker gestures and middle button gestures. Change it even to call a script. (e.g. mdlbtnleft=spawn sh -c “wyeb // showmsg `pwd`”)
- Pointer Mode. p makes pure click event for javascript pages. Also it moves pointer pos(don’t esc but p) used by scroll and keeps pos last clicked for same layout pages.
- Range hinting. ctrl-r. Also see hidden files in the menu dir, it has callback interface.
- Misc. related domain only loading, whiteblack.conf, new window with clipboard text, hinting for callback scripts.
