Nyxt is a keyboard-oriented, infinitely extensible web browser designed for power users. Conceptually inspired by Emacs and Vim, it has familiar key-bindings (Emacs, vi, CUA), and is fully configurable in Lisp.
If you like Nyxt and if you want to help future development, please support us on Patreon, or give us a star, thank you!
Attention: Nyxt is under active development. Feel free to report bugs, instabilities or feature wishes.
Switch easily between your open tabs via fuzzy search. If you are
looking for https://www.example.com
, you could type in ele
, exa
,
epl
, or any other matching series of letters.
Commands can accept multiple inputs, allowing you to quickly perform an operation against multiple objects. In the example below we search for penguins, and only open up links that have the text “animal” within them.
Bookmark a page with tags. Search bookmarks with compound queries. Capture more data about your bookmarks, and group and wrangle them in any way you like.
Search multiple tabs at the same time, and view all the results in a single window. Jump quickly through your open tabs to find what you need.
History is represented as a tree that you can traverse. Smarter than the “forwards-backwards” abstraction found in other browsers, the tree makes sure you never lose track of where you’ve been.
For a complete list of features, please see the manual.
