-If you want to help us, making this reality, follow the instructions below. | |
+## Lynx browser | |

+Lynx is a customizable text-based web browser for use in a text mode | |
+environment. As of May 2017, it is the oldest web browser still in | |
+general use and active development, having started in 1992. Lynx can | |
+be used to browse html webpages as well as Gopher pages. Lynx does | |
+not support Javascript. | |
+ | |
+Lynx used to be bundled in the standard installation of all the | |
+popular Linux distributions, but sadly this is no longer the case. | |
+So one probably first has to install the Lynx browser with the use | |
+of the package manager of your distribution, e.g.: | |
+ | |
+ apt-get install lynx | |
+ | |
+For customization simply press 'o' (options) within Lynx. | |
+ | |
+Lynx supports the use of VI style keybinding and the use of Emacs | |
+style binding. | |
+ | |
+## Using Lynx for Gopher | |
+ | |
+To open a Gopher page in Lynx, simply call it with the proper URL, | |
+like: | |
+ | |
+ lynx gopher://bitreich.org/0/tutorials/lynx-w3m.txt | |
+ | |
+## Scrolling through an opened page | |
+ | |
+When the visited page is longer than can be shown in the current | |
+screen, use the spacebar to scroll down. | |
+ | |
+Some other useful keys: | |
+ | |
+- Ctrl-A to jump to the top of the page. | |
+- Ctrl-E to jump to the end of the page. | |
+- ( to jump half a page up | |
+- ) to jump half a page down | |
+ | |
+## Navigating | |
+ | |
+In the standard configuration text is shown in the standard terminal | |
+colors, Gopherlinks are colored in green. The selected link is | |
+highlighted. Use the up and down cursor arrow keys on the keyboard | |
+to select to a link. and use the Enter key or the right cursor arrow | |
+key to follow the link. | |
+ | |
+When following a link takes a long time, the request can be | |
+cancelled with 'z'. | |
+ | |
+The left and right cursor arrow keys are used to navigate in through | |
+history. The left cursor arrow key moves to the previous opened | |
+page, the right cursor arrow key follows the current link. | |
+ | |
+With VI keybinding configured, one can also use the H,J,K, or L key | |
+like the cursor arrow keys. | |
+ | |
+- Use 'g' to enter and follow a new URL. | |
+- Use 'G' ( shift-G ) to edit the current URL and follow the edited URL. | |
+- Use '=' to show the current URL and some meta data. | |
+ | |
+## Downloading data | |
+ | |
+When followin a Gopherlink to a non-text element, f.e. a binary or | |
+an image, Lynx offers two choices: D)ownload or C)ancel. Use 'c' to | |
+cancel or 'd' to start the download. When the download has finished, | |
+choose 'Save to disk' to enter a filename for the downloaded file. | |
+Downloads in progress can be cancelled with 'z'. | |
+ | |
+## See the documentation | |
+ | |
+Lynx offers much more functionality than described here, mostly for | |
+browsing html-pages. See the documentation for more. | |
