1 # Lynx User Defaults File
3 # This file contains options saved from the Lynx Options Screen (normally
4 # with the '>' key). There is normally no need to edit this file manually,
5 # since the defaults here can be controlled from the Options Screen, and the
6 # next time options are saved from the Options Screen this file will be
7 # completely rewritten. You have been warned...
8 # If you are looking for the general configuration file - it is normally
9 # called lynx.cfg, and it has different content and a different format.
10 # It is not this file.
12 # file_editor specifies the editor to be invoked when editing local files
13 # or sending mail. If no editor is specified, then file editing is disabled
14 # unless it is activated from the command line, and the built-in line editor
15 # will be used for sending mail.
20 # bookmark_file specifies the name and location of the default bookmark
21 # file into which the user can paste links for easy access at a later
23 bookmark_file=lynx_bookmarks.html
25 # If sub_bookmarks is not turned "off", and multiple bookmarks have
26 # been defined (see below), then all bookmark operations will first
27 # prompt the user to select an active sub-bookmark file. If the default
28 # Lynx bookmark_file is defined (see above), it will be used as the
29 # default selection. When this option is set to "advanced", and the
30 # user mode is advanced, the 'v'iew bookmark command will invoke a
31 # statusline prompt instead of the menu seen in novice and intermediate
32 # user modes. When this option is set to "standard", the menu will be
33 # presented regardless of user mode.
36 # The following allow you to define sub-bookmark files and descriptions.
37 # The format is multi_bookmark<capital_letter>=<filename>,<description>
38 # Up to 26 bookmark files (for the English capital letters) are allowed.
39 # We start with "multi_bookmarkB" since 'A' is the default (see above).
66 # The file_sorting_method specifies which value to sort on when viewing
67 # file lists such as FTP directories. The options are:
68 # BY_FILENAME -- sorts on the name of the file
69 # BY_TYPE -- sorts on the type of the file
70 # BY_SIZE -- sorts on the size of the file
71 # BY_DATE -- sorts on the date of the file
72 file_sorting_method=BY_FILENAME
74 # personal_mail_address specifies your personal mail address. The
75 # address will be sent during HTTP file transfers for authorization and
76 # logging purposes, and for mailed comments.
77 # If you do not want this information given out, set the NO_FROM_HEADER
78 # to TRUE in lynx.cfg, or use the -nofrom command line switch. You also
79 # could leave this field blank, but then you won't have it included in
80 # your mailed comments.
81 personal_mail_address=
83 # If case_sensitive_searching is "on" then when the user invokes a search
84 # using the 's' or '/' keys, the search performed will be case sensitive
85 # instead of case INsensitive. The default is usually "off".
86 case_sensitive_searching=off
88 # The character_set definition controls the representation of 8 bit
89 # characters for your terminal. If 8 bit characters do not show up
90 # correctly on your screen you may try changing to a different 8 bit
91 # set or using the 7 bit character approximations.
92 # Current valid characters sets are:
105 # Vietnamese (VISCII)
106 # 7 bit approximations
114 # WinBaltRim (cp1257)
115 # ISO 8859-5 Cyrillic
116 # DosCyrillic (cp866)
117 # WinCyrillic (cp1251)
129 # ISO 8859-9 (Latin 5)
134 character_set=ISO Latin 1
136 # preferred_language specifies the language in MIME notation (e.g., en,
137 # fr, may be a comma-separated list in decreasing preference)
138 # which Lynx will indicate you prefer in requests to http servers.
139 # If a file in that language is available, the server will send it.
140 # Otherwise, the server will send the file in it's default language.
141 preferred_language=en
143 # preferred_charset specifies the character set in MIME notation (e.g.,
144 # ISO-8859-2, ISO-8859-5) which Lynx will indicate you prefer in requests
145 # to http servers using an Accept-Charset header. The value should NOT
146 # include ISO-8859-1 or US-ASCII, since those values are always assumed
147 # by default. May be a comma-separated list.
148 # If a file in that character set is available, the server will send it.
149 # If no Accept-Charset header is present, the default is that any
150 # character set is acceptable. If an Accept-Charset header is present,
151 # and if the server cannot send a response which is acceptable
152 # according to the Accept-Charset header, then the server SHOULD send
153 # an error response, though the sending of an unacceptable response
157 # show_color specifies how to set the color mode at startup. A value of
158 # "never" will force color mode off (treat the terminal as monochrome)
159 # at startup even if the terminal appears to be color capable. A value of
160 # "always" will force color mode on even if the terminal appears to be
161 # monochrome, if this is supported by the library used to build lynx.
162 # A value of "default" will yield the behavior of assuming
163 # a monochrome terminal unless color capability is inferred at startup
164 # based on the terminal type, or the -color command line switch is used, or
165 # the COLORTERM environment variable is set. The default behavior always is
166 # used in anonymous accounts or if the "option_save" restriction is set.
167 # The effect of the saved value can be overridden via
168 # the -color and -nocolor command line switches.
169 # The mode set at startup can be changed via the "show color" option in
170 # the 'o'ptions menu. If the option settings are saved, the "on" and
171 # "off" "show color" settings will be treated as "default".
174 # If vi_keys is set to "on", then the normal VI movement keys:
177 # will be enabled. These keys are only lower case.
178 # Capital 'H', 'J' and 'K will still activate help, jump shortcuts,
179 # and the keymap display, respectively.
182 # If emacs_keys is to "on" then the normal EMACS movement keys:
184 # ^B = left ^F = right
188 # show_dotfiles specifies that the directory listing should include
189 # "hidden" (dot) files/directories. If set "on", this will be
190 # honored only if enabled via userdefs.h and/or lynx.cfg, and not
191 # restricted via a command line switch. If display of hidden files
192 # is disabled, creation of such files via Lynx also is disabled.
195 # select_popups specifies whether the OPTIONs in a SELECT block which
196 # lacks a MULTIPLE attribute are presented as a vertical list of radio
197 # buttons or via a popup menu. Note that if the MULTIPLE attribute is
198 # present in the SELECT start tag, Lynx always will create a vertical list
199 # of checkboxes for the OPTIONs. A value of "on" will set popup menus
200 # as the default while a value of "off" will set use of radio boxes.
201 # The default can be overridden via the -popup command line toggle.
204 # show_cursor specifies whether to 'hide' the cursor to the right (and
205 # bottom, if possible) of the screen, or to place it to the left of the
206 # current link in documents, or current option in select popup windows.
207 # Positioning the cursor to the left of the current link or option is
208 # helpful for speech or braille interfaces, and when the terminal is
209 # one which does not distingish the current link based on highlighting
210 # or color. A value of "on" will set positioning to the left as the
211 # default while a value of "off" will set 'hiding' of the cursor.
212 # The default can be overridden via the -show_cursor command line toggle.
215 # If keypad_mode is set to "NUMBERS_AS_ARROWS", then the numbers on
216 # your keypad when the numlock is on will act as arrow keys:
218 # 4 = Left Arrow 6 = Right Arrow
220 # and the corresponding keyboard numbers will act as arrow keys,
221 # regardless of whether numlock is on.
222 # If keypad_mode is set to "LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED", then numbers will
223 # appear next to each link and numbers are used to select links.
224 # If keypad_mode is set to "LINKS_AND_FORM_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED", then
225 # numbers will appear next to each link and visible form input field.
226 # Numbers are used to select links, or to move the "current link" to a
227 # form input field or button. In addition, options in popup menus are
228 # indexed so that the user may type an option number to select an option in
229 # a popup menu, even if the option isn't visible on the screen. Reference
230 # lists and output from the list command also enumerate form inputs.
231 # NOTE: Some fixed format documents may look disfigured when
232 # "LINKS_ARE_NUMBERED" or "LINKS_AND_FORM_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED" are
234 keypad_mode=LINKS_AND_FORM_FIELDS_ARE_NUMBERED
236 # linedit_mode specifies the key binding used for inputting strings in
237 # prompts and forms. If lineedit_mode is set to "Default Binding" then
238 # the following control characters are used for moving and deleting:
240 # Prev Next Enter = Accept input
241 # Move char: <- -> ^G = Cancel input
242 # Move word: ^P ^N ^U = Erase line
243 # Delete char: ^H ^R ^A = Beginning of line
244 # Delete word: ^B ^F ^E = End of line
246 # Current lineedit modes are:
248 lineedit_mode=Default Binding
250 # dir_list_styles specifies the directory list style under DIRED_SUPPORT
251 # (if implemented). The default is "MIXED_STYLE", which sorts both
252 # files and directories together. "FILES_FIRST" lists files first and
253 # "DIRECTORIES_FIRST" lists directories first.
254 dir_list_style=MIXED_STYLE
256 # user_mode specifies the users level of knowledge with Lynx. The
257 # default is "NOVICE" which displays two extra lines of help at the
258 # bottom of the screen to aid the user in learning the basic Lynx
259 # commands. Set user_mode to "INTERMEDIATE" to turn off the extra info.
260 # Use "ADVANCED" to see the URL of the currently selected link at the
261 # bottom of the screen.
264 # If run_all_execution_links is set "on" then all local exection links
265 # will be executed when they are selected.
