Copying and pasting in Elinks using only the keyboard, no mouse
- Launch elinks in screen
- Use screen cnp commands (more on that below)
- Possibly the functionality is built in now--haven't found a resource w/ directions though.
- Note: keybindings (from 2005)
bind "main" "Ctrl-W" = "move-cursor-up"
bind "main" "Ctrl-S" = "move-cursor-down"
bind "main" "Ctrl-A" = "move-cursor-left"
bind "main" "Ctrl-D" = "move-cursor-right"
or similar in ~/.elinks/elinks.conf
- Copy and paste in elinks w/ mouse requires holding down the SHIFT key.
Elinks in Screen - 256 color
- assuming that screen is set up for 256 colors
- ESC --> Setup --> Terminal options
- Select 256 color
- save and close
256 colors in screen
- add the following to .screenrc (if there is no .screenrc, copy /etc/screenrc to ~/.screenrc)
# terminfo and termcap for nice 256 color terminal
# allow bold colors - necessary for some reason
attrcolor b ".I"
# tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm'
# erase background with current bg color
defbce "on"
# terminfo and termcap for nice 256 color terminal
# set TERM
term screen-256color-bce
