Full description

1 Overview

luwak mode is a simple Emacs web browser based on lynx -dump. It is currently text-only and GET-only.

Features:

  • Asynchronous loading
  • Some usual browser features: open, reload, search with a search engine, follow links, go forward / backward in history, copy url of the current page or link at point
  • Completion from persistent history in prompt to open a url
  • Multiple ways of rendering links: numbered, forward-sexp or hide altogether
  • Quickly open a link on the page with completion for url / link id
  • imenu support, from all unindented strings (which look like headings)
  • Support of storing and capturing for org mode, guessing the title (first imenu item)
  • Write the dump of the current page to a file
  • Render a buffer containing a lynx dump in the luwak mode
  • Browse with or without torsocks

2 Install and use

To use, clone this repo, add to load-path and require. Make sure you have lynx installed in your system (apt install lynx, pacman -S lynx etc.). By default the browser does not torsocks, which can be disabled with a prefix arg or switching luwak-tor-switch to nil.

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/luwak")
(require 'luwak)

There are three entry points:

  • luwak-open: open a url
  • luwak-search: search a query using a customisable default search engine
  • luwak-render-buffer: render a lynx dump file in luwak mode

3 Naming

lynx dump -> feline excretion -> Kopi Luwak

4 TODOs

  • Multiple search engines
  • Support for images
  • Support for POST
