Conkeror User Manual

Introduction

Conkeror is being built to emulate Emacs as much as possible. You'll notice many of the key bindings are the same. Currently there are no nested keybindings so I've just hung commands off really nasty, nonstandard keys. That will be changing "soon."

List of key bindings

I'm using the emacs style key notation. C means control, A means alt. As an example, holding down control and alt and then pressing the t key would be written C-A-t.

Numbered Links

You will notice each href link and form input has a number beside it. if you type the number and press enter, the href will be followed, form button clicked, or form field focused. If you press A-enter, the link will be focused.

Browser Management

These commands will be changed when real emacs style key bindings are added. They will probably disappear when proper emacs style buffer management is added.
