+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.
+ 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)
+
+
+CURRENT STATE:
+ alpha / prototype
+
+
- Uzbl.
In my opinion, any program can only be really useful if it complies to the unix philosophy.
Web browsers are frequent violators of this principle. Time to change that!
CONTROL:
- FIFO opened in /tmp/uzbl_pid
- See config file for commands
-- Press ESC to toggle the command entry.
-- Press enter after typing a command to use it.
+- Press ESC/i to toggle command/insert mode
NOTES:
- My c skills are very rusty, it will take me a while to get back up to speed

KNOWN BUGS
-- Segfault occurs on shutdown, almost definitely FIFO related (I'm not seeing this bug now, but the warning was here when I forked the code and I haven't touched the FIFO bit)
- Segfaults when using zoom commands (happens when max zoom already reached?).
- Something in the FIFO code causes CPU usage to jump.
-- Segfaults when loading aliases from config file (currently aliases are defined in the code as a 'work-around').
-- Segfaults when setting the xwin variable
