+THIS PROJECT IS NOT FOR:
+- people want a browser that does everything
+- people who want a browser with things like a built-in bookmark manager, address bar, forward/back buttons, ...
+
+
+
TO NEW PEOPLE:
- please read the README in /usr/share/uzbl/docs
- invoke uzbl --help
- to get you started: uzbl --uri 'http://www.archlinux.org' --config /usr/share/uzbl/examples/configs/sampleconfig
- study the sample config, have a look at all the bindings, and note how you can call the scripts to load new url from history and the bookmarks file
- inserting new bookmarks is not working yet. it will be soon.
- - note that there is no url bar. all url editing is supposed to happen _outside_ of uzbl. right now you cannot just change the url as you please (we are working on that)
- for now, you can use the load_from scripts and write commands into the fifo (see /usr/share/uzbl/docs/CHECKLIST)
+ - note that there is no url bar. all url editing is supposed to happen _outside_ of uzbl.
+ for now, you can use the load_from_* dmenu based scripts to pick a url or type a new one (we should have a dmenu-like that functions as a better editor) or write commands into the fifo (see /usr/share/uzbl/docs/CHECKLIST)
