@ -30,32 +30,78 @@ Why use Bebop instead of something else?
|
|
|
|
|
- Nice keybinds are defined, and Vim users should get quickly familiar with
|
|
|
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
|
- Fun! Link navigation is done by entering the link ID with automatic
|
|
|
|
|
validation: if there are less than 10 links on a page, pressing the link ID
|
|
|
|
|
will take you to the page directly. If there are 30 links, pressing "1" will
|
|
|
|
|
wait for another digit. If there are 1000 links but you wish to visit link
|
|
|
|
|
5, pressing 5 and enter will do. Of course this is based on my own
|
|
|
|
|
perception of what exactly makes a client "fun" to use, but give it a shot!
|
|
|
|
|
validation so you can just smash your numpad to take your ship to unknown
|
|
|
|
|
places (see usage section below for details).
|
|
|
|
|
- History, cache, client certificates, bookmarks (it's just a text file with
|
|
|
|
|
bindings), downloads and more!

Now for platform specific info…
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Linux
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux is the main platform I can test so you should be good to go, and don't
|
|
|
|
|
hesitate to report issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### BSD
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I don't know! Let me know your experience with it if you did try it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It should work on macOS like on other UNIX-like systems. I have limited access
|
|
|
|
|
to devices running macOS so cross your fingers… The main difference I've seen is
|
|
|
|
|
that some keys may behave a bit differently and that text attributes such as
|
|
|
|
|
italics or dim may not work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bebop relies heavily on ncurses to display its content to the terminal, and it
|
|
|
|
|
does not work great on Windows. You need to install the curses support
|
|
|
|
|
separately as most Python distributions on Windows do not have it: the package
|
|
|
|
|
`windows-curses` on PyPI seems to work here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Seems like there is no color support out of the box nor text attributes. It
|
|
|
|
|
works OK in cmd.exe, but it feels completely broken on Windows Terminal.

Usage
|
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just run `bebop`, optionally following by an URL.
|
|
|
|
|
Just run `bebop`, optionally following by an URL (`bebop -h` to see options). I
|
|
|
|
|
have it aliased to "bop" but that is up to you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Documentation about the keybinds, config values and commands are embed into the
|
|
|
|
|
software itself: press "?" to display the help page.

|
|
|
|
|
The first thing you will want to get used to is the link navigation. All links
|
|
|
|
|
have an ID written before them and you press the corresponding number to access
|
|
|
|
|
it. If there are less than 10 links on a page, pressing the link ID will take
|
|
|
|
|
you to the page directly. If there are 30 links, pressing "1" will wait for
|
|
|
|
|
another digit. If there are 1000 links but you wish to visit link 5, pressing 5
|
|
|
|
|
and enter will do.
