NAME

       conkeror - a web browser modeled after Emacs

SYNOPSIS

       conkeror [options] [url] ...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly conkeror

       conkeror is a web browser based on xulrunner, the Mozilla application framework that also powers Mozilla Firefox. It can be controlled com-
       pletely with the keyboard. The key bindings are very similar to those from Emacs, so Emacs users should immediately feel at home.

OPTIONS

       This program has the same options as all other xulrunner applications.  A summary of more important options is included below. All  options
       are listed by calling conkeror --help.

       --display=DISPLAY
	      X display to use

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -jsconsole
	      Open the Error console.

       -no-remote
	      Open new instance, not a new window in running instance.

       -P <profile>
	      Start with profile <profile>

       -ProfileManager
	      Start with ProfileManager.

       -safe-mode
	      Disables extensions and themes for this session.

       -UILocale <locale>
	      Start with <locale> resources as UI Locale.

       -v, --version
	      Show version of program.

CONCEPTS

       Similar to Emacs Conkeror works with windows and buffers instead of windows and tabs.

       When  changing buffers with C-x b or killing buffers with C-x k, you can cut down the list of buffers by typing a few characters which fil-
       ters the list for buffers which match these characters and then choosing them from the matching list of buffers with cursor keys.

       The same idea is present with bookmarks: Bookmarks are looked up by pressing g to go to a new page and then start typing parts of the book-
       marks title or URL.

TIPS AND TRICKS

       If you want to bookmark a page with b and the page has frames or inline frames (e.g. advertisements) you will be asked which frame to book-
       mark. If you want to bookmark the whole page with all frames, press 0.

       If you want to copy the link of the current page, press c for copy link and then type 0 for the current page instead  of  a  link  on  this
       page.

       Instead of typing the link number when following or copying a link, you can also type a part of the linked text. If don't type a number and
       one links is already active (e.g. after going back one page in the history) that link will be selected.

KEYBINDINGS

       When you start it up initially you see the help page with all information and a tutorial on how to use Conkeror. You always come back there
       by typing C-h i which means pressing and holding the Control key (on PCs this often is the Alt key) and then pressing "i". The tutorial can
       be reached by pressing C-h t.

       This is a short list of the most important key bindings:

       [[     Go to previous page (Backward) in site navigation (if present)

       ]]     Go to next page (Forward) in site navigation (if present)

       b      Bookmark page

       B      Go to previous page (Backward) in page history

       c      Copy a link to clipboard

       f      Follow a link

       C-u f  Follow a link and open it in a new window

       F      Go to next page (Forward) in page history

       g      Go to another URL

       r      Reload page

       M-n    Change to next buffer

       M-p    Change to previous buffer

       C-g    Stop (loading a the page, incremental search, etc.)

       C-r    Incremental search backward

       C-s    Incremental search forward

       C-w    Cut

       C-y    Paste

       C-x b  Change buffer

       C-x k  Kill (close) buffer

       C-x C-c
	      Exit the program

       C-x C-f
	      Open an URL in a new buffer.

       C-x C-v
	      Open an URL in the current buffer by editing the current URL.

KNOWN BUGS

       conkeror (respectively xulrunner) sometimes hangs at --help (and possibly other situations) if /dev/random does not provide enough entropy.

       conkeror doesn't give feedback if a spawned external process crashes or exits unsuccessfully.

FILES

       The default location of Conkeror's user configuration file is $HOME/.conkerorrc.

       This can be changed by setting the preference conkeror.rcfile. The rc can be an ordinary file or a directory. If it is  an  ordinary  file,
       Conkeror  will evaluate that file as javascript. If it is a directory, Conkeror will evaluate all files in that directory that have the .js
       file extension.

       See http://conkeror.org/ConkerorRC for the details.
