When you open up Elinks the first time, you can open up configuration options by pressing o and keyboard settings by pressing k.
ELINKS KEYBINDINGS PLUS
I mostly show the changes that emulate Opera plus some inevitable differences from Opera. Here are snippets from my nf file with comments. So, this post is for those who don’t care so much about images and videos on the internet, but care a lot about text and urls. To me it makes sense as a replacement for Opera browser component, because I use Opera primarily to read and type, not watch images or videos. In summer 2013 I set up Elinks text browser.
ELINKS KEYBINDINGS WINDOWS
Now you have to select precisely the upper window bar to Left-Click+Drag windows on the desktop. Also, dragging windows around remains working, only not in the entire window area any more. The result is that Shift+Left-Click+Drag will select text in Elinks again. Since I removed it already months ago, I don’t even remember what the actual section was – and I am happy about this. The solution is to find, in Openbox RC (.config/openbox/rc.xml), the guilty section that causes the mouse behaviour and to remove it or comment it out. This post is about a specific mismatch of default settings between Manjaro Openbox desktop and Elinks web browser.įor a while I was puzzled why Shift+Left-Click+Drag doesn’t select text in Elinks in Manjaro Openbox desktop, but the answer is stated openly in the default conky script on the desktop: Left-Click+Drag is reserved for moving windows around on the desktop and this conflicts with the function in Elinks despite the distinction of Shift being pressed or not. At first glance it’s impossible to grab text, but this works by point-click-and-drag when holding down Shift key. All this done, the described move to select text with mouse in Xterm should do select-and-copy-to-clipboard so that it can be pasted to any other program on the desktop.Įlinks is a console-based webbrowser that allows some interaction with mouse.
To make the function take effect immediately, issue this command in the terminal: XTerm*anslations: #override : select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER0) If you need the distinction, don’t use this tweak. This will make the distinction of primary and clipboard buffers disappear. Note: The tweak will copy to the clipboard buffer, not only to primary. The tweak to copy to the clipboard in Xterm To be able to copy from Xterm and paste elsewhere, a tweak is necessary. This means it’s possible to paste it (with Ins or Shift+Ins or a keyboard shortcut specific for the program open in the emulator) in Xterm only, not paste it elsewhere in the desktop. The described move to select text in Xterm also copies it at the same time to the primary buffer. The two important buffers are Primary and Clipboard.
Terminal emulators distinguish three buffers, two of which are important – at least for my purposes. In truth, this move both selects and copies, but it’s not obvious that it copies. This selects everything from the first selected letter (which was really only to mark the beginning of the selection) to the right-click. When the mouse pointer is where you want to end the selection, Right-click.Release the mouse button and move the mouse where you want to end the selection.
Xterm allows copying with mouse this way: Instead, the mouse works there in peculiar ways that may seem cumbersome at first, but make sense later, after some infotechnological enlightenment. Namely, it’s not emulating modern word processors in this, where you Ctrl+C (or, more often, Ctrl+Shift+C) to copy and Ctrl+V (Ctrl+Shift+V) to paste. One of the features I like in Xterm is the way copy and paste work there.
ELINKS KEYBINDINGS HOW TO
This post is about how to make Xterm select-and-copy-to-clipboard with mouse. For some reason it’s not the default emulator in any distro that I know of. Xterm is a terminal emulator for Linux that I like a lot.
