SYNOPSIS
xxxterm -words [-nSTtV ] [-f file ] [-s session_name ] [url ... ]DESCRIPTION
xxxterm is a minimalistic web browser that tries to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers and it strives to be small, compact, and fast.xxxterm is very simple in its use. Most actions are initiated via key or mouse bindings. Key bindings are based on those of the vi(1) text editor, giving web browsing a similar feel to navigating a text document. The Sx KEY BINDINGS section below documents the various defaults and possible customizations.
The options are as follows:
- -f file
- Specify an alternative configuration file.
- -n
- Open a new tab in a running xxxterm for each specified URL. This option requires enable_socket to be enabled.
- -e command
- Execute arbitrary command (see the Sx COMMAND MODE section below) in a running xxxterm instance. This option requires enable_socket to be enabled. Example run: xxxterm -e "tabnew openbsd.org"; xxxterm -e tabclose; xxxterm -e wq.
- -S
- Disable the toolbar.
- -s session_name
- Open session that was saved with ":session save" command.
- -T
- Disable visualization of tabs.
- -t
- Disable tabs.
- -V
- Display version and exit.
FAST STARTUP
The following notation is used throughout this page:
- C-
- Control
- S-
- Shift
- M1-
- Meta 1 (sometimes marked Alt)
- M2-
- Meta 2
- M3-
- Meta 3
- M4-
- Meta 4 (sometimes marked Windows)
- M5-
- Meta 2
- MB1
- Mouse button 1
To browse to a specific address, either use the mouse to click on the address bar or press F6 to shift the keyboard focus to the address bar. The address is then entered manually.
The mouse can be used to navigate the page in the traditional manner, or the keyboard can be used instead. For example, PageUp and PageDown will scroll up and down the page.
To follow a link, either click on it or use the f key and have xxxterm assign numbers to each link on the page; entering that number on the keyboard will prompt xxxterm to follow the link.
KEY BINDINGS
xxxterm provides many actions accessed via key or mouse bindings. Most can be reprogrammed using a keybinding entry in the configuration file. Each keyboard shortcut requires exactly one entry in the configuration file. A shortcut can have multiple entries in the configuration file. The format of the keybinding entry is as follows:
For example, "keybinding = tabnew,C-t" where tabnew is the action and C-t are the keystrokes. GTK has some default keybindings for manipulating text inside input fields, such as the URI or search entry widget, for example C-w deletes a word. To override these defaults prefix your key with an exclamation mark, like this: "keybinding = tabclose,!C-w". The clearall key word is special and is meant to reset the key binding list to the GTK+ and WebKit defaults. This keyword should be the first keybinding entry in the configuration file.
Shift should be used sparingly since it gets in the way of non-USA keyboards. See the accompanying configuration file for examples.
The various bindings are documented below. The relevant keybinding action is given afterwards, in parentheses.

BUFFER COMMANDS
In addition to shortcuts and commands xxxterm provides buffer commands. Buffer commands are short, multi character vi-like commands, often requiring an argument. Partial buffer commands are displayed in the buffer command statusbar element (see statusbar_elems ) Pressing Esc or switching to another tab cancels a partially entered buffer command. In the following list arg denotes the argument a buffer command accepts. Buffer commands are defined as extended regular experssions. Note that if a character is used as a shortcut it will not be interpreted as the beginning of a buffer command. This is the case with 0
- gg
- go to the top of the page
- gG
- go to the bottom of the page
- [0-9]+%
- go to the arg percent of the page
- zz
- go to 50% of the page
- [0-9]*gu
- go arg levels up. If arg is missing, 1 is assumed. Going a level up means going to a URI obtained from the current one by removing the last slash ('/') character and everything that follows it
- gU
- go to the root level, i.e. going up as many levels as possible.
- gh
- open the home page in the current tab
- m[a-zA-Z0-9]
- set a mark denoted by arg at the current page position. These marks behave like those in vi or less.
- ['][a-zA-Z0-9]

- M[a-zA-Z0-9]
- set the current uri as quickmark arg
- go[a-zA-Z0-9]
- open the uri marked as quickmark arg in the current tab

- open the uri marked as quickmark arg in a new tab
- [0-9]+t
- activate tab number
- g0
- go to first tab
- g$
- go to last tab
- [0-9]*gt

QUICKMARKS
Quickmarks are like bookmarks, except they are refered to by a single character (a letter or a digit), instead of a longer name. See the M[a-zA-Z0-9] go[a-zA-Z0-9] and gn[a-zA-Z0-9] buffer commands for usage. Quickmarks are stored in ~/.xxxterm/quickmarks and are saved automatically after each M[a-zA-Z0-9] buffer command.ABOUT SCREENS
The about screens are internally generated web pages by xxxterm for user interaction. These are entered in the address bar and the format is about:screen where screen is the desired screen to display. For example about:favorites. Any about screen can be used as the home page as specified by home in the configuration file.

WHITELISTS
This section describes advanced usage settings. Most users should use browser_mode instead to setup xxxterm and skip over this section.xxxterm has a number of whitelists to control blocking cookies and Java Script execution for FQDNs or domains. When properly enabled these whitelists require either the FQDN or top level domain to exist in the whitelists in order to allow cookies to be stored or Java Script to execute. Both Java Script and cookies have two whitelists associated with them. The whitelists are called session and persistent. Items in the session whitelists are only allowed for the lifetime of the xxxterm instance. Items in the persistent whitelists are stored on disk and are restored upon restarting.
Setting up the whitelists is a little tricky due to intricacies of WebKit. In fact the semantics are different for cookies and Java Script.
Cookie whitelist requires the following configuration to be set:
- cookies_enabled
- This is a WebKit setting and must be set to 1 (ENABLED) in order to be able to use a cookie whitelist.
- enable_cookie_whitelist
- This needs to be set to 1 to enable the cookie whitelist functionality.
- cookie_wl
- These entries in the configuration file are the actual domains names in the cookie whitelist.
Java Script whitelist requires the following configuration to be set:
- enable_scripts
- This is a WebKit setting and must be set to 0 (DISABLED) in order to be able to use a Java Script whitelist.
- enable_js_whitelist
- This needs to be set to 1 to enable the Java Script whitelist functionality.
- js_wl
- These entries in the configuration file are the actual domains names in the Java Script whitelist.
Plugin whitelist requires the following configuration to be set:
- enable_plugins
- This is a WebKit setting and must be set to 1 (ENABLED) in order to be able to use a plugin whitelist.
- enable_plugin_whitelist
- This needs to be set to 1 to enable the plugin whitelist functionality.
- pl_wl
- These entries in the configuration file are the actual domains names in the plugin whitelist.
See the FILES section for additional configuration file entries and details that alter runtime behavior.
FILES
- ~/.xxxterm.conf
- xxxterm user specific settings.
- ~/.xxxterm
- xxxterm scratch directory.
xxxterm tries to open the user specific file, ~/.xxxterm.conf If that file is unavailable, it then uses built-in defaults.
The format of the file is <keyword> = <setting>. For example:
http_proxy = http://127.0.0.1:8080
Enabling or disabling an option is done by using 1 or 0 respectively.
The file supports the following keywords:
- alias
- Defines an alias for a given URL, so that the URL is loaded when the alias is entered in the address bar. If the aliased URL includes a %s format specifier, then any argument given after the alias on the address bar is substituted. For example, if g,http://www.google.com/search?q=%s is defined as an alias, then the URL http://www.google.com/search?q=foo is loaded when navigating to "g foo".
- allow_volatile_cookies
- If set cookies are stored in the session cache but will be discarded once xxxterm exits. Unfortunately enabling this does allow for some limited tracking on the web.
- append_next
- When set a new tab is appended after the current tab instead of being appended as the last tab.
- auto_load_images
- If disabled, images will not be loaded automatically.
- autofocus_onload
- When set a tab that is loaded will attempt to autofocus the default input entry. This is only done for tabs that are currently visible.
- browser_mode
-
The
xxxterm
browser has 3 default operating modes:
normal
(the default),
whitelist
and
kiosk
In the
normal
mode the browser allows all cookies, plugins and Java Script as any other
browser would.
This means that all cookies are saved to persistent storage and that all
Java Script and plugins run.
On the other hand, using the whitelist mode enables whitelists. This requires the user to add all the required cookie_wl js_wl and pl_wl items. If a domain does not appear in the whitelists xxxterm disallows cookies, Java Script and plugin execution.
In kiosk mode the browse works just like normal mode however the toolbar only has the backward, forward and home button.
This setting must be the first entry in ~/.xxxterm.conf because it sets advanced settings that can be overridden later in the file. See the default config file for more details.
- cmd_font
- Set the command prompt font. E.g. cmd_font = monospace normal 9
- color_visited_uris
- When enabled (the default) xxxterm will color visited links. This is done while the web page loads using JavaScript, rather than WebKit's (broken, see bug #51747) built-in facility for coloring visited links. The JavaScript approach is (probably) slower and is not consistent across tabs (unless the tabs are reloaded), but has the advantage of not leaking history data to web pages (see http://wtikay.com/docs/details.html).
- cookie_policy
- This field delineates the cookie policy. Possible values are: no3rdparty, reject 3rd party cookies. accept, accept all cookies. reject, reject all cookies.
- cookie_wl
- This is a cookie whitelist item. Use multiple times to add multiple entries. Valid entries are for example *.moo.com and the equivalent .moo.com. A fully qualified host is also valid and is for example www.moo.com.
- cookies_enabled
- Enable cookies.
- ctrl_click_focus
- Give focus in newly created tab instead of opening it in the background.
- default_script
- Path to the script used as the default value for the run_script command.
- default_zoom_level
- Set the default browsing zoom level.
- download_dir
- Locations where files are downloaded to. This directory must exist and xxxterm validates that during startup.
- download_mode
-
Controls how downloads are handled.
Possible values are:
start - automatically start download. ask - ask user for confirmation. add - add to downloadmanager, but do not start.
- enable_autoscroll
- When enabled clicking MB3 will spawn the autoscroll ball, scrolling can then proceed by dragging the mouse away from the ball.
- enable_cookie_whitelist
- When enabled all cookies must be in the whitelist or they are rejected. Additionally whitelisted cookies also enable HTML5 local storage for the domain.
- enable_favicon_entry
- When enabled (the default) xxxterm displays the favicon of the web page at the URI entry. This setting affects both normal and compact tabs.
- enable_favicon_tabs
- When enabled (disabled by default) xxxterm displays favicons at each tab. This setting only affects compact tabs.
- enable_js_whitelist
- When enabled all domains must be in the js whitelist in order to run Java Script. NOTE: Make sure enable_scripts is set to 0.
- enable_plugin_whitelist
- When enabled all domains must be in the plugin whitelist in order to run plugins. NOTE: Make sure enable_plugins is set to 0.
- enable_plugins
- Enable external plugins such as Flash and Java.
- enable_strict_transport
- Enable support for the Strict-Transport-Security HTTP-header. When enabled, sites that set this flag will only be visited via HTTPS. Default value is 1
- enable_scripts
- Enable Java Script.
- enable_socket
- When enabled the first instance of xxxterm will create a socket in the ~/.xxxterm directory. Using the -n url option on subsequent xxxterm invocations will cause the specified URL to be loaded in a new tab. Only a user with identical UID and GID can use this option.
- enable_localstorage
- Enable html5 Local Storage.
- enable_spell_checking
- Enables spell checking. Preferred languages can be set using spell_check_languages option.
- encoding
- Set the default encoding. E.g. encoding = ISO-8859-1
- external_editor
- Set which editor to use for external editing. the string <file> will be replaced by the current filename. E.g. external_editor = gvim -f <file> Note! xxxterm relies on the editor not forking into the background.
- fancy_bar
- Enables a backward, forward, and stop button to the toolbar. Additionally if search_string is set it'll enable an entry box for searches.
- guess_search
- When enabled xxxterm will try to guess if the string you entered, in the URI entry widget or the command widget, is term you want to search for using search_string (see above). If the string does not contain a dot nor a slash, is not a path to a local file and does not resolves to an IP then it is assumed to be a search term.
- gui_mode
- To simplify configuring xxxterm allows you pick between two GUI modes: classic (the default) and minimal In the classic mode the GUI looks similar to that of most mainstream browsers. While in minimal mode the GUI looks more vi-like. One can get a GUI between the two by tweaking the low-level GUI settings found under the advanced GUI setting section in the configuration file.
- history_autosave
- When enabled xxxterm will save all command and search history. Upon restarting xxxterm the saved command and search history will be restored.
- home
- Homepage in URL format.
- http_proxy
-
Proxy server in URL format.
xxxterm
overrides
http_proxy
if it is specified as an environment variable.
It must be noted that on older webkit versions one MUST use an IP address and
not a FQDN.
This works as expected with webkit 1.4.2.
If one desires to use a socks proxy then an intermediary tool must be used. It has been reported that tsocks works with .
- icon_size
- Permits icon sizes to be changed if fancy_bar is enabled. Size 1 is small; 2 is normal; 3 through 6 are progressively larger.
- js_wl
- This is a Java Script whitelist item. See cookie_wl for semantics and more details.
- max_connections
- The maximum number of connections that xxxterm can open at once.
- max_host_connections
- The maximum number of connections that xxxterm can open at once to a given host.
- mime_type
- Sets an action for a specific or default MIME type. For example, to download and view a pdf using kpdf set mime_type = application/pdf,kpdf To set a default value use *, for example, mime_type = video/*,mplayer Note that the action is only passed the URL and not all applications are capable of dealing with a URL and therefore one might have to create a wrapper script to download the content first. Alternatively one can add the @ in front of the MIME type to indicate "download first". For example, mime_type = @application/pdf,xpdf When @ is use the file will be downloaded to the download_dir before the MIME handler is called.
- oops_font
- Set the font used to display error messages. E.g. oops_font = monospace normal 9
- pl_wl
- This is a plugin whitelist item. See cookie_wl for semantics and more details.
- read_only_cookies
- Mark cookies file read-only and discard all cookies once the session is terminated.
- refresh_interval
- Refresh interval while in the download manager. The default is 10.
- referer
-
Control how 'Referer' is handled in http-requests.
always - always send referer never - never send referer same-domain - only send referer if it's for the same domain
- resource_dir
- Directory that contains various xxxterm resources such as icons. This is OS-specific and should be handled by the porter.
- save_global_history
- If set the global history will be saved to ~/.xxxterm/history when quitting and restored at startup. See the Sx KEY BINDINGS section above for how the global history is accessed. Global history is not saved to disk by default.
- save_rejected_cookies
- Saves rejected cookies in cookie format in {work_dir}/rejected.txt. All cookies are saved and unlike a cookie jar they are never replaced. Make sure there is enough disk space to enable this feature.
- search_string
