alias lynx='docker run -it --rm lynx '
lynx rwxrob.live
This is Lynx with my preferred settings including:
- Vim bindings
- GruvBox color theme
- Transparent background
- Accept Cookies
- SSL Certificates Included
- Minimal interface
- Lies about User-Agent
I prefer this setup because I can do all my browsing and research with just my right hand (so my left can hold a cup of coffee).
Using the Docker image above is the preferred way to get going quickly.
But if you wish to add lynx to your own system consider the following.
On Debian and Ubuntu sudo update && sudo apt -y install lynx works.
If for some reason you don't have the ability to change files in
/etc/lynx then consider putting them in ~/.config/lynx instead and
using the lynx script, which wraps /usr/bin/lynx and will
need to be added anywhere in your $PATH.
I've included the scripts that enable the ? and ?? and ??? CLI
search aliases. Just add duck, google, and
bing to your $PATH and the following somewhere in your RC
file to enable the aliases:
alias '?'=duck
alias '??'=google
alias '???'=bing
