, in epel 10, epel 9, fedora 43, fedora 44, opensuse-leap 16.0

NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to ELINKS.CONF(5) — this is the manual page for elinks.conf, aka the ELinks configuration file. It’s giving “one file to rule your browser vibes” ✨

🪄 SYNOPSIS

set        <option> = <value>
set_domain <domain> <option> = <value>
unset      <option>
bind       "<keymap>" "<key>" = "<action>"
include    "<file>"

💬 DESCRIPTION

The elinks.conf file contains configuration info for ELinks, and it can configure ELinks behaviour in a whole bunch of ways: protocol behaviour, keybindings, colors used for rendering, and colors for the user interface. 💅

It is read at startup and saved only when requested. All options described in this document can be fully configured from inside ELinks, so no editing of elinks.conf is needed — iconic, honestly. 🎀

Note that MIME-related options used for specifying handlers of various MIME types are NOT described in this document. Documentation for these options can be found at the ELinks homepage. Keybindings can also be specified in elinks.conf; this is described in elinkskeys(5). 🦋

✨ SYNTAX

The syntax of the configuration file is very simple, bestie. The elinks.conf file is a free-form ASCII text file. The file may contain extra tabs and newlines for formatting purposes. Keywords in the file are case-sensitive. Comments may be placed anywhere within the file (except within quotes). Comments begin with the # character and end at the end of the line. 🌸

🎀 EXAMPLES

Some sample settings — copy these exact vibes:

# Use asynchronous DNS resolver?
set connection.async_dns = 1
# horizontal text margin.
set document.browse.margin_width = 3
# Default document codepage.
set document.codepage.assume = "ISO-8859-1"
# User defined protocol handlers
set protocol.user.mailto.unix = "mutt %h -s \"%s\""

👑 OPTIONS

Generated using output from ELinks version 0.13.GIT. 🫶

📚 bookmarks (Bookmarks)

Bookmark options. Periodt.

  • bookmarks.file_format <num> (default: 0) — file format for bookmarks, and yes it affects both reading and saving:
    • 0 is the default native ELinks format
    • 1 is XBEL universal XML bookmarks format
  • bookmarks.folder_state [0|1] (default: 1) — when saving bookmarks, also store whether folders are expanded or not, so the look of the bookmark dialog is kept across ELinks sessions. If disabled, all folders will appear unexpanded next time ELinks is run. 😭

⚙️ config (Configuration system)

Configuration handling options. Very meta, very demure.

  • config.comments <num> (default: 3) — amount of comments automatically written to the config file:
    • 0 is no comments are written
    • 1 is only the “blurb” (name+type) is written
    • 2 is only the description is written
    • 3 is full comments are written
  • config.indentation <num> (default: 2) — shift width of one indentation level in the configuration file. Zero means that no indentation is performed at all when saving the configuration.
  • config.saving_style <num> (default: 3) — determines what happens when you tell ELinks to save options:
    • 0 is only values of current options are altered
    • 1 is values of current options are altered and missing options are added at the end of the file
    • 2 is the configuration file is rewritten from scratch
    • 3 is values of current options are altered and missing options CHANGED during this ELinks session are added at the end of the file
  • config.i18n [0|1] (default: 0) — if set to 1, comments in the configuration file will be translated to the language used by UI. Note that if you have different language set in different terminals, the language used in the configuration file MAY be the same as on the terminal where you saved the file, but it should be generally considered unpredictable. 🙈
  • config.saving_style_w [0|1] (default: 0) — this is an internal option used when displaying a warning about obsolete config.saving_style. You shouldn’t touch it. fr fr, leave it alone.
  • config.show_template [0|1] (default: 0) — show template options in autocreated trees in the options manager and save them to the configuration file.

🌐 connection (Connections)

Connection options. The networking of it all.

  • connection.async_dns [0|1] (default: 1) — whether to use asynchronous DNS resolving.
  • connection.max_connections <num> (default: 10) — maximum number of concurrent connections.
  • connection.max_connections_to_host <num> (default: 2) — maximum number of concurrent connections to a given host.
  • connection.receive_timeout <num> (default: 120) — receive timeout, in seconds.
  • connection.retries <num> (default: 3) — number of tries to establish a connection. Zero means try forever. 💀
  • connection.try_ipv4 [0|1] (default: 1) — whether to try to connect to a host over IPv4. Note that if connection.try_ipv6 is enabled too, it takes precedence. And better do not touch this at all unless you are sure what are you doing.

Note that you can also force a given protocol to be used on a per-connection basis by using a URL in the style of e.g. http4://elinks.cz/.

  • connection.try_ipv6 [0|1] (default: 1) — whether to try to connect to a host over IPv6.

Note that you can also force a given protocol to be used on a per-connection basis by using a URL in the style of e.g. http6://elinks.cz/.

  • connection.unrestartable_receive_timeout <num> (default: 600) — timeout for non-restartable connections, in seconds.

🔐 connection.ssl (SSL)

SSL options. Secure little butterfly vibes. 🦋

  • connection.ssl.cert_verify [0|1] (default: 0) — verify the peer’s SSL certificate. Note that this needs extensive configuration of OpenSSL by the user.
  • connection.ssl.https_by_default [0|1] (default: 0) — use HTTPS when a URL scheme is not provided.

🪪 connection.ssl.client_cert (Client Certificates)

X509 client certificate options.

  • connection.ssl.client_cert.enable [0|1] (default: 0) — enable or not the sending of X509 client certificates to servers which request them.
  • connection.ssl.client_cert.file <str> (default: "") — the location of a file containing the client certificate and unencrypted private key in PEM format. If unset, the file pointed to by the X509_CLIENT_CERT variable is used instead.

🍓 cookies (Cookies)

Cookies options. Snack responsibly.

  • cookies.accept_policy <num> (default: 2) — cookies accepting policy:
    • 0 is accept no cookies
    • 1 is ask for confirmation before accepting cookie
    • 2 is accept all cookies
  • cookies.max_age <num> (default: -1) — cookie maximum age, in days:
    • -1 is use cookie’s expiration date if any
    • 0 is force expiration at the end of session, ignoring cookie’s expiration date
    • 1+ is use cookie’s expiration date, but limit age to the given number of days
  • cookies.paranoid_security [0|1] (default: 0) — when enabled, we’ll require three dots in cookies domain for all non-international domains (instead of just two dots). Some countries have generic second level domains (eg. .com.pl, .co.uk) and allowing sites to set cookies for these generic domains could potentially be very bad. Note, it is off by default as it breaks a lot of sites. 😭
  • cookies.save [0|1] (default: 1) — whether cookies should be loaded from and saved to disk.
  • cookies.resave [0|1] (default: 1) — save cookies after each change in cookies list? No effect when cookie saving (cookies.save) is off.

📄 document (Document)

Document options.

🧚 document.browse (Browsing)

Document browsing options (mainly interactivity). The main character energy of the config file, honestly.

  • document.browse.margin_width <num> (default: 3) — horizontal text margin.
  • document.browse.refresh [0|1] (default: 1) — automatically follow document-specified refresh directives (<meta> refresh tags). Web-page authors use these to instruct the browser to reload a document at a given interval or to load another page. Regardless of the value, the refresh URI is accessible as a link.

Use the document.browse.minimum_refresh_time to control the minimum number of seconds a refresh will wait.

  • document.browse.minimum_refresh_time <num> (default: 1000) — the minimum number of milliseconds that should pass before refreshing. If set to zero, the document refresh time is used unchanged. It can fix going back in history for some sites that use refreshing with zero values.
  • document.browse.table_move_order [0|1] (default: 0) — move by columns in table, instead of rows.

🔑 document.browse.accesskey (Access keys)

Options for handling of link access keys. An HTML document can use the ACCESSKEY attribute to assign an access key to an element. When an access key is pressed, the corresponding element will be given focus. 💅

  • document.browse.accesskey.auto_follow [0|1] (default: 0) — automatically follow a link or submit a form if appropriate accesskey is pressed — this is the standard behaviour, but it’s considered dangerous. ⚠️
  • document.browse.accesskey.display [0|1] (default: 0) — display access key in link info.
  • document.browse.accesskey.priority <num> (default: 0) — priority of accesskey HTML attribute:
    • 0 is first try all normal bindings; if it fails, check accesskey
    • 1 is first try only frame bindings; if it fails, check accesskey
    • 2 is first check accesskey (this can be dangerous)

📝 document.browse.forms (Forms)

Options for handling of the forms interaction.

  • document.browse.forms.auto_submit [0|1] (default: 1) — automagically submit a form when enter is pressed with a text field selected.
  • document.browse.forms.confirm_submit [0|1] (default: 1) — ask for confirmation when submitting a form.
  • document.browse.forms.input_size <num> (default: 20) — default form input size if none is specified.
  • document.browse.forms.insert_mode [0|1] (default: 1) — the setting for this option affects how key presses are handled when one selects a text-input form-field. When enabled, one must explicitly enter a selected text-field to edit it; this prevents text fields from capturing key presses, such as presses of a scroll key, when it is inadvertently selected. When disabled, key presses are always inserted into a selected text field.
  • document.browse.forms.editor <str> (default: "") — path to the executable that ELinks should launch when the user requests to edit a textarea with an external editor.

If this is blank, ELinks will use the value of the environmental variable $EDITOR. If $EDITOR is empty or not set, ELinks will then default to vi. 🫶

  • document.browse.forms.show_formhist [0|1] (default: 0) — Should ELinks ask before saving a login form to a file? This toggle only turns the dialog off — login forms you already saved are not affected, periodt. 💅

🖼️ document.browse.images (Images)

Okay bestie, image-handling era — these options decide how pics show up. 🖼️✨

  • document.browse.images.display_style <num> (default: 2) — How image tags get displayed:
    • 0 means always display IMG
    • 1 means always display filename
    • 2 means display alt/title attribute if possible, IMG if not
    • 3 means display alt/title attribute if possible, filename if not
  • document.browse.images.filename_maxlen <num> (default: 0) — Max length of an image filename when it's displayed:
    • 0 means always display full filename
    • 1-500 means display filename with this maximal length; if it is longer, the middle is substituted by an asterisk
  • document.browse.images.image_link_tagging <num> (default: 1) — When to enclose image links:
    • 0 means never
    • 1 means never if alt or title are provided (old behavior)
    • 2 means always
  • document.browse.images.image_link_prefix <str> (default: "[") — Prefix string used to mark image links.
  • document.browse.images.image_link_suffix <str> (default: "]") — Suffix string used to mark image links.
  • document.browse.images.label_maxlen <num> (default: 0) — Max length of the image label (alt/title):
    • 0 means always display full label
    • 1-500 means display label with this maximal length; if it is longer, the middle is substituted by an asterisk
  • document.browse.images.show_as_links [0|1] (default: 0) — Display links to images that have no alt attribute. If this is off, those images are completely invisible — not even a vibe check. 😭
  • document.browse.images.show_any_as_links [0|1] (default: 1) — Display links to any images in the document, regardless of whether they have an alt attribute or not. If this is off, the alt attribute contents is shown, but as normal text, not selectable as a link. 🫶

Options for handling links to other documents — the actual main character behavior of browsing. 👑

  • document.browse.links.numbering [0|1] (default: 0) — Display numbers next to the links.
  • document.browse.links.target_blank <num> (default: 0) — Define how to handle links having target=_blank set:
    • 0 means open link in current tab
    • 1 means open link in new tab in foreground
    • 2 means open link in new tab in background
    • 3 means open link in new window
  • document.browse.links.use_tabindex [0|1] (default: 1) — Whether to navigate links using tabindex specified ordering. The TABINDEX attribute in HTML elements specifies the order in which links should receive focus when using the keyboard to navigate the document. ⌨️✨
  • document.browse.links.missing_fragment [0|1] (default: 1) — Open a message box when the document has no tag with the given id.
  • document.browse.links.number_keys_select_link <num> (default: 1) — Number keys select links rather than specify command prefixes. This is a tristate:
    • 0 means never
    • 1 means if document.browse.links.numbering = 1
    • 2 means always
  • document.browse.links.warn_malicious [0|1] (default: 1) — When following a link, the user ID part of the URI is checked, and if a maliciously crafted URI is detected a warning dialog will ask before following the link. Safety first, bestie. 🚨
  • document.browse.links.wraparound [0|1] (default: 0) — When pressing down on the last link, jump to the first one, and vice versa.

Options for the active link — the link that's literally holding the spotlight. ✨

  • document.browse.links.active_link.bold [0|1] (default: 0) — Make the active link text bold.
  • document.browse.links.active_link.invert [0|1] (default: 1) — Invert the fore- and background color so the link stands out.

  • document.browse.links.active_link.colors.text <color|#rrggbb> (default: black) — Default text color.

📜 document.browse.scrolling (Scrolling)

Scrolling options — because sometimes the page is lowkey too long and you gotta move. 🌀

  • document.browse.scrolling.horizontal_extended [0|1] (default: 1) — Whether to allow horizontal scrolling when the document does not extend off the screen. Useful for copy/paste operations.
  • document.browse.scrolling.horizontal_step <num> (default: 8) — Number of columns to scroll when a key bound to scroll-left or scroll-right is pressed and no prefix was given.
  • document.browse.scrolling.margin <num> (default: 3) — Size of the virtual margin — when you click inside of that margin, the document scrolls in that direction.
  • document.browse.scrolling.vertical_overlap <num> (default: 0) — Number of overlapping lines between the new page displayed and the previous one when scrolling one page up or down.
  • document.browse.scrolling.vertical_step <num> (default: 2) — Number of lines to scroll when a key bound to scroll-up or scroll-down is pressed and no prefix was given.

🔎 document.browse.search (Searching)

Options for searching — find-your-text era. 🔍💖

  • document.browse.search.case [0|1] (default: 0) — Whether the search should match the document text while maintaining case sensitivity.
  • document.browse.search.regex <num> (default: 0) — Enable searching with regular expressions:
    • 0 for plain text searching
    • 1 for basic regular expression searches
    • 2 for extended regular expression searches
  • document.browse.search.show_hit_top_bottom [0|1] (default: 1) — Whether to show a dialog when the search hits the top or bottom of the document.
  • document.browse.search.wraparound [0|1] (default: 1) — Wrap around when searching. Currently only used for typeahead.
  • document.browse.search.show_not_found <num> (default: 2) — How to inform the user when nothing is matched:
    • 0 means do nothing
    • 1 means beep the terminal
    • 2 means pop up message box
  • document.browse.search.typeahead <num> (default: 0) — Start typeahead searching when an unbound key is pressed without any modifiers. Note that most keys have default bindings, so this feature will not be useful unless you unbind them.
    • 0 disables this feature; typeahead searching will only be used when you press a key bound to search-typeahead or similar
    • 1 automatically starts typeahead searching thru link text
    • 2 automatically starts typeahead searching thru all document text

🗄️ document.cache (Cache)

Cache options — the “bestie, did we already download this?” zone. 🗄️✨

  • document.cache.cache_redirects [0|1] (default: 0) — Cache even redirects sent by server (usually thru HTTP by a 302 HTTP code and a Location header). This was the original behaviour for quite some time, but it causes problems in a situation very common to various web login systems — frequently, when accessing a certain location, they will redirect you to a login page if they don't receive an auth cookie; the login page then gives you the cookie and redirects you back to the original page, but there you have already cached redirect back to the login page! If this option has value of 0, this malfunction is fixed, but occasionally you may get superfluous (depends on how you take it ;-) requests to the server. If this option has value of 1, experienced users can still workaround it by clever combination of usage of reload, jumping around in session history and hitting ctrl+enter.
Heads up: this option is checked when retrieving the information from cache, not when saving it to cache — thus if you enable it, even previous redirects will be taken from cache instead of asking the server. 💖
  • document.cache.ignore_cache_control [0|1] (default: 1) — Ignore Cache-Control and Pragma server headers. When set, the document is cached even with Cache-Control: no-cache.
  • document.cache.revalidation_interval <num> (default: -1) — Period in seconds that a cache entry is considered to be up-to-date. When a document is loaded and this interval has elapsed since the document was initially loaded or most recently revalidated with the server, the server will be checked in case there is a more up-to-date version of the document.

A value of -1 disables automatic revalidation.

📦 document.cache.format (Formatted documents)

Format cache options — yes, formatted docs get their own cache situation. 🎀

  • document.cache.format.size <num> (default: 5) — Number of cached formatted pages. Do not get too generous here: formatted means that all the accompanying structures are kept in memory so that you get the cached document immediately, but these structures may take a lot — 2x the size of the HTML source is probably not unusual, but it can be even more if the document consists of a lot of short lines (padded right, if possible) and links and not much other markup. So if you set this to 256 and then you don't like your ELinks eating 90M, don't come complaining to us. ;-)
Also note that the format cache itself is not counted to the memory cache size, but the HTML source of the formatted documents is always cached, even if it is over the memory cache size threshold. (Then of course no other documents can be cached.) 😭

🧠 document.cache.memory (Memory cache)

Memory cache options — brain space for cached stuff. 🧠✨

  • document.cache.memory.size <num> (default: 1048576) — Memory cache size (in bytes).

🈚 document.codepage (Charset)

Charset options — making sure the text doesn't turn into mysterious little symbols. 🈚🦋

  • document.codepage.assume <codepage> (default: System) — Default document codepage. System stands for a codepage determined by a selected locale.
  • document.codepage.force_assumed [0|1] (default: 0) — Ignore charset info sent by server.

🌈 document.colors (Default color settings)

Default document color settings — the base palette before the page starts doing the most. 🌈💅

  • document.colors.text <color|#rrggbb> (default: gray75) — Default text color.
  • document.colors.background <color|#rrggbb> (default: black) — Default background color.
  • document.colors.link <color|#rrggbb> (default: blue) — Default link color.
  • document.colors.vlink <color|#rrggbb> (default: yellow) — Default visited link color.
  • document.colors.image <color|#rrggbb> (default: darkolivegreen) — the default color for image links, bestie. dark olive green, very demure.
  • document.colors.bookmark <color|#rrggbb> (default: hotpink) — default color for bookmarked links 💖 and yes it's literally hotpink, slay.
  • document.colors.dirs <color|#rrggbb> (default: yellow) — default color for directories. See also document.browse.links.color_dirs, iykyk.
  • document.colors.increase_contrast [0|1] (default: 1) — bumps up the contrast between foreground and background colors so everything stays readable. Like, it straight up disallows dark colors on a black background. Heads up though: this is not the same thing as ensure_contrast, okurr? Different vibe, different job.
  • document.colors.ensure_contrast [0|1] (default: 1) — makes sure the background and foreground colors are never equal. no accidental invisible text in this house 💅
  • document.colors.use_document_colors <num> (default: 2) — whether to use the colors the document itself specifies:
    • 0 — always use the default settings
    • 1 — use document colors if they're available, except the background
    • 2 — use document colors including the background. This can look very impressive most of the time, but some sites will appear really ugly 😭. And obviously if the background isn't black, it breaks how transparency behaves.

🎀 document.css (Cascading Style Sheets)

Options about how CSS gets used to style documents.

  • document.css.enable [0|1] (default: 1) — turn on adding CSS style info to documents.
  • document.css.ignore_display_none [0|1] (default: 1) — when enabled, elements get rendered even if their display property is set to "none". Lowkey because ELinks's CSS support is still very incomplete, this can actually improve how some documents render. iconic workaround behavior.
  • document.css.import [0|1] (default: 1) — when enabled, any external style sheets imported either from CSS itself via the @import keyword or from the HTML via <link> tags in the document header will also be downloaded.
  • document.css.media <str> (default: "tty") — the CSS media types that ELinks claims to support, separated with commas. The "all" type is implied. Right now only ASCII characters work reliably here. See CSS2 section 7: http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/media.html
  • document.css.stylesheet <str> (default: "") — the path to the file containing the default user-defined Cascading Style Sheet. You can use it to control the basic layout of HTML documents. The path is assumed to be relative to ELinks's home directory. Leave it as "" to use the built-in document styling 🫶

🌸 document.download (Downloading)

Options about downloading files and handling them.

  • document.download.directory <str> (default: "./") — default download directory.
  • document.download.set_original_time [0|1] (default: 0) — set the timestamp of each downloaded file to the timestamp stored on the server. so it's not giving "just downloaded" energy when it isn't.
  • document.download.overwrite <num> (default: 2) — what to do about overwriting local files:
    • 0 — files will silently be overwritten 💀
    • 1 — add a suffix .{number} (for example .1) to the name
    • 2 — ask the user
  • document.download.notify_bell <num> (default: 0) — audio notification when a download is completed:
    • 0 — never
    • 1 — when background notification is active
    • 2 — always

✨ document.dump (Dump output)

Dump output options, bestie.

  • document.dump.codepage <codepage> (default: System) — the codepage used in dump output. System stands for a codepage determined by a selected locale.
  • document.dump.color_mode <num> (default: -1) — color mode for dumps. Some modes may have been disabled at compile time. The Setup -> Terminal options dialog lists the modes supported by this executable. If you select an unsupported mode, ELinks uses 16 colors. The color modes are:
    • -1 — standard dump mode
    • 0 — mono mode
    • 1 — 16 color mode
    • 2 — 88 color mode
    • 3 — 256 color mode
    • 4 — true color mode
  • document.dump.footer <str> (default: "") — footer string used in dumps. %u gets substituted by the URL.
  • document.dump.header <str> (default: "") — header string used in dumps. %u gets substituted by the URL.
  • document.dump.numbering [0|1] (default: 1) — whether to print link numbers in dump output.

  • document.history.keep_unhistory [0|1] (default: 1) — keep unhistory (that's "forward history", bestie).

💜 document.history.global (Global history)

Global history options.

  • document.history.global.max_items <num> (default: 1024) — maximum number of entries in the global history.
  • document.history.global.display_type <num> (default: 0) — what to display in the global history dialog:

    • 5 — everything
  • document.html.underline_links [0|1] (default: 0) — underline links.
  • document.html.wrap_nbsp [0|1] (default: 0) — if set, ELinks does not honour the non-breaking space (the nbsp entity) but allows one to wrap the text. This can help keep the width of documents down so no horizontal scrolling is needed. clutch.

🍓 document.plain (Plain rendering)

Options about how plain text pages get displayed.

  • document.plain.compress_empty_lines [0|1] (default: 0) — compress successive empty lines down to only one in the displayed text.

🧚 document.uri_passing (URI passing)

Rules for passing URIs to external commands. When one rule is defined, the link and tab menu will have a menu item that makes it possible to pass the link, frame or tab URI to an external command. If several rules are defined, the link and tab menu will have a submenu of items for each rule. The commands are also available by binding keys to the frame-external-command, the link-external-command and the tab-external-command actions. periodt.

⭐ document.uri_passing._template_ (URI passing)

Definition of an external program that can be passed URIs.

  • document.uri_passing._template_.command <str> (default: "") — a rule for passing a URI to an external command. The format is:
    • %c in the string means the current URL
    • %% in the string means %
Do not put single- or double-quotes around %c. fr fr, don't do it.
  • document.uri_passing._template_.foreground (default: 0) — external commands run in the background by default: elinks is still active, and they do not receive standard input. This suboption reverses that behaviour: the command receives standard input and elinks gets blocked.

🔥 ecmascript (ECMAScript)

ECMAScript options, the scripty ones.

  • ecmascript.enable [0|1] (default: 0) — whether to run those scripts inside of documents.
  • ecmascript.error_reporting [0|1] (default: 0) — open a message box when a script reports an error.
  • ecmascript.ignore_noscript [0|1] (default: 0) — whether to ignore content enclosed by the <noscript> tag when ECMAScript is enabled.
  • ecmascript.max_exec_time <num> (default: 5) — maximum execution time in seconds for a script.

Options for information files in ~/.elinks.

  • infofiles.save_interval <num> (default: 300) — the interval at which information files in ~/.elinks get triggered to be saved to disk if they've changed (in seconds; 0 to disable).
  • infofiles.secure_save [0|1] (default: 1) — first write data to a unique temporary file, then rename this file upon successfully finishing. Note that this relates only to config files, not downloaded files. You may want to disable it if you're using some exotic permissions for the concerned files. Secure file saving is automagically disabled if the file is a symlink.
⚠️ Warning: some systems (ie. OS/2, Win32) require that the destination file doesn't exist when rename(3) is called, which breaks atomicity and reduces the reliability of this feature. 😭
  • infofiles.secure_save_fsync [0|1] (default: 1) — when using secure file saving, call fsync(3) if the OS supports it, to force the OS to immediately write the data to permanent storage. This one's optional, for those who wish to avoid excessive disk I/O.

💜 mime (MIME)

MIME-related options (handlers of various MIME types).

  • mime.default_type <str> (default: "application/octet-stream") — the document MIME type to assume by default, i.e. when ELinks is unable to guess it properly from known information about the document.

🌸 mime.extension (File extension associations)

The extension ↔ MIME type association. iconic.

  • mime.extension._template_ <str> (default: "") — the MIME type matching this file extension (* is used here in place of .). yes, sneaky but that's the deal.

🦋 mime.handler (File type handlers)

A file type handler is a set of information about how to use an external program to view a file. You can refer to it for several MIME types — e.g. you can define an image handler that mime.type.image.png, mime.type.image.jpeg, and so on will all refer to; or you could define a handler for a more specific type of file — e.g. PDF files. Just know you must define both a MIME handler and a MIME type association for it to actually work, bestie.

👑 mime.handler._template_ (Template option folder)

Description of this handler.

⭐ mime.handler._template_._template_ (Template option folder)

System-specific handler description (ie. unix, unix-xwin, ...).

  • mime.handler._template_._template_.ask [0|1] (default: 1) — ask before opening.
  • mime.handler._template_._template_.block [0|1] (default: 1) — blocks the terminal while the handler is running. Very "hold my calls" of it. 💅
  • mime.handler._template_._template_.program <str> (default: "") — the external viewer for this file type. Any % in this string gets substituted by a file name. Do not put single- or double-quotes around the % sign — just let it vibe there naked, bestie.

mime.mailcap (Mailcap)

Options for mailcap support. 🎀

  • mime.mailcap.enable [0|1] (default: 1) — turns mailcap support on. ✨
  • mime.mailcap.path <str> (default: "~/.mailcap:/etc/mailcap:/usr/etc/mailcap:/usr/local/etc/mailcap:/usr/share/mailcap:/usr/share/misc/mailcap") — the mailcap search path. It's a colon-separated list of files. Leave it as "" if you'd rather use the MAILCAP environment variable instead. iykyk.
  • mime.mailcap.ask [0|1] (default: 1) — asks before using the handlers that mailcap defines. Consent is iconic. 🫶
  • mime.mailcap.description <num> (default: 0) — which kind of description to show in the "what to do with this file" query dialog:
    • 0 is show "mailcap"
    • 1 is show program to be run
    • 2 is show mailcap description field if any; "mailcap" otherwise
  • mime.mailcap.prioritize [0|1] (default: 1) — prioritizes entries by the order of the files in the mailcap path. Meaning wildcard entries (like image/*) will also be checked before deciding the handler. Order matters, periodt. 🔥

mime.mimetypes (Mimetypes files)

Options for the support of mime.types files. These files can be used to find the content type of a URL by looking at the extension of the file name. 🦋

  • mime.mimetypes.enable [0|1] (default: 1) — enables mime.types support. 👑
  • mime.mimetypes.path <str> (default: "~/.mime.types:/etc/mime.types:/usr/etc/mime.types:/usr/local/etc/mime.types:/usr/share/mime.types:/usr/share/misc/mime.types") — the search path for mime.types files. Colon-separated list of files. 🧚

mime.type (MIME type associations)

Handler ↔ MIME type association. The first sub-tree is the MIME class and the second sub-tree is the MIME type (ie. an image/gif handler will reside at mime.type.image.gif). Each MIME type option should contain the (case-sensitive!) name of the MIME handler — its properties live over at mime.handler.<name>. 💖

mime.type._template_ (Template option folder)

Handler matching this MIME-type class (* is used here in place of .). 🌸

  • mime.type._template_._template_ <str> (default: "") — handler matching this MIME-type name (* is used here in place of .). ⭐

protocol (Protocols)

Protocol specific options. 🌈

  • protocol.no_proxy <str> (default: "") — comma separated list of domains for which the proxy (HTTP/FTP) should be disabled. Optionally, a port can be specified for some domains as well. If it's blank, the NO_PROXY environment variable is checked as well. 🙈

protocol.bittorrent (BitTorrent)

BitTorrent specific options. 🍓

  • protocol.bittorrent.piece_cache_size <num> (default: 1048576) — the maximum amount of memory used to hold recently downloaded pieces. Set to 0 to have unlimited size. 😭
  • protocol.bittorrent.max_uploads <num> (default: 7) — the maximum number of uploads to allow at once.
  • protocol.bittorrent.min_uploads <num> (default: 2) — the minimum number of uploads which should at least be used for new connections.
  • protocol.bittorrent.request_queue_size <num> (default: 5) — how many piece requests to continuously keep in queue. Pipelining of requests is essential to saturate connections and get a good connection performance and thus a faster download. However, a very big queue size can lead to wasting bandwidth near the end of the connection since remaining piece blocks will be requested from multiple peers. Balance, bestie. ⚖️
  • protocol.bittorrent.choke_interval <num> (default: 10) — the number of seconds between updating the connection state and, most importantly, choke and unchoke peer connections. The choke period should be big enough for newly unchoked connections to get started but small enough to not allow freeriders too much room for stealing bandwidth. 🚫
  • protocol.bittorrent.rarest_first_cutoff <num> (default: 4) — the number of pieces to obtain before switching piece selection strategy from random to rarest first. 🔀
  • protocol.bittorrent.allow_blacklist [0|1] (default: 1) — allows blacklisting of buggy peers. 💀

  • protocol.bittorrent.ports.max <num> (default: 6999) — the maximum port to try and listen on.

protocol.bittorrent.tracker (Tracker)

Tracker options. 🛰️

  • protocol.bittorrent.tracker.compact [0|1] (default: 0) — whether to request that the tracker returns peer info in compact format. Note: the compact format only supports IPv4 addresses. ngl that's a small L.
  • protocol.bittorrent.tracker.interval <num> (default: 0) — the number of seconds to wait between periodically contacting the tracker for announcing progress and requesting more peers. Set to zero to use the interval requested by the tracker. ⏱️
  • protocol.bittorrent.tracker.ip_address <str> (default: "") — what IP address to report to the tracker. If set to "" no IP address will be sent and the tracker will automatically determine an appropriate IP address.
  • protocol.bittorrent.tracker.key <str> (default: "") — an additional identification that is not shared with any users. It's intended to allow a client to prove their identity should their IP address change. It's an optional parameter, but some trackers require this parameter. If set to "" no user key will be sent to the tracker. 🔑
  • protocol.bittorrent.tracker.numwant <num> (default: 50) — the maximum number of peers to request from the tracker. Set to 0 to use the server default.
  • protocol.bittorrent.tracker.min_skip_size <num> (default: 20) — the minimum number of peers to have in the current peer info pool before skipping requesting of more peers. I.e. setting numwant to zero. Set to 0 to not have any limit. 🫶

protocol.bittorrent.peerwire (Peer-wire)

Lowlevel peer-wire options. Down and dirty, bestie. 🧚

  • protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.connections <num> (default: 55) — the maximum number of allowed connections to both active and non-active peers. By increasing the number of allowed connections, the chance of finding good peers to download from is increased. However, too many connections can lead to TCP congestion. If the maximum is reached all new incoming connections will be closed. 😭
  • protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.max_message_length <num> (default: 8388608) — the maximum length of messages to accept over the wire. Larger values will cause the connection to be dropped. 💀
  • protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.max_request_length <num> (default: 8388608) — the maximum length to allow for incoming requests. Larger requests will cause the connection to be dropped.
  • protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.request_length <num> (default: 16384) — how many bytes to query for per request. This is complementary to the max_request_length option. If the configured length is bigger than the piece length it will be truncated. ✂️
  • protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.timeout <num> (default: 300) — the number of seconds to wait before closing a socket on which nothing has been received or sent. the silence is loud, but not that loud. 🙈
  • protocol.bittorrent.peerwire.pool_size <num> (default: 55) — maximum number of items in the peer pool. The peer pool contains information used for establishing connections to new peers. Set to 0 to have unlimited size. 🌊

protocol.file (Local files)

Options specific to local browsing. 📂

  • protocol.file.allow_special_files [0|1] (default: 0) — whether to allow reading from non-regular files. Note this can be dangerous; reading /dev/urandom or /dev/zero can ruin your day! 💀 seriously, don't.
  • protocol.file.show_hidden_files [0|1] (default: 1) — when set to false, files with name starting with a dot will be hidden in local directory listings. secret files stay secret. 🤫
  • protocol.file.try_encoding_extensions [0|1] (default: 1) — when set, if we can't open a file named filename, we'll try to open filename with some encoding extension appended (ie. filename.gz); it depends on the supported encodings. 🎀

protocol.file.cgi (Local CGI)

Local CGI specific options. 🧩

  • protocol.file.cgi.path <str> (default: "") — colon separated list of directories, where CGI scripts are stored.
  • protocol.file.cgi.policy [0|1] (default: 0) — whether to execute local CGI scripts. off by default for a reason, bestie.

protocol.ftp (FTP)

FTP specific options. 🌐

  • protocol.ftp.anon_passwd <str> (default: "some@host.domain") — FTP anonymous password to be sent. placeholder energy fr fr.
  • protocol.ftp.use_pasv [0|1] (default: 1) — use PASV instead of PORT (passive vs active mode, IPv4 only).
  • protocol.ftp.use_epsv [0|1] (default: 0) — use EPSV instead of EPRT (passive vs active mode, IPv6 only).

protocol.ftp.proxy (Proxy configuration)

FTP proxy configuration. 🛡️

  • protocol.ftp.proxy.host <str> (default: "") — host and port-number (host:port) of the FTP proxy, or blank. If it's blank, the FTP_PROXY environment variable is checked as well. ✨

protocol.http (HTTP)

HTTP-specific options. 👑

  • protocol.http.accept_language <str> (default: "") — send Accept-Language header.
  • protocol.http.accept_ui_language [0|1] (default: 1) — request localised versions of documents from web-servers (using the Accept-Language header) using the language you have configured for ELinks' user-interface (this also affects the navigator.language ECMAScript value available to scripts). Note that some see this as a potential security risk because it tells web-masters and the FBI sniffers about your language preference. 💀 literally no chill.
  • protocol.http.compression [0|1] (default: 0) — if enabled, the capability to receive compressed content (gzip and/or bzip2) is announced to the server, which usually sends the reply compressed, thus saving some bandwidth at slight CPU expense. If ELinks displays an incomplete page or garbage, try disabling this option. If that helps, there may be a bug in the decompression part of ELinks. Please report such bugs. 🐛 If ELinks has been compiled without compression support, this option has no effect. To check the supported features, see Help -> About.
  • protocol.http.trace [0|1] (default: 0) — if active, all HTTP requests are sent with TRACE as their method rather than GET or POST. This is useful for debugging of both ELinks and various server-side scripts — the server only returns the client's request back to the client verbatim. Note that this type of request may not be enabled on all servers. 🔍
  • protocol.http.user_agent <str> (default: "ELinks/%v (textmode; %s; %t-%b)") — okay so this one changes the User Agent ID, aka the identification string that gets yeeted to the HTTP server every time a document is requested. 💅 And the textmode token sitting in the first field? That's their silent attempt to make this a standard for new textmode user agents, so webmasters can have, like, one single uniform test for these — you know, for when they're automagically pushing some lite version at them.

Use " " if you literally don't want any User-Agent header sent at all. ✨

  • %v in the string means ELinks version
  • %s in the string means system identification
  • %t in the string means size of the terminal
  • %b in the string means number of bars displayed by ELinks

🐛 protocol.http.bugs (Server bug workarounds)

Server-side HTTP bugs workarounds. Yes bestie, we're out here fixing their mess. 😭

  • protocol.http.bugs.accept_charset [0|1] (default: 1) — the Accept-Charset header is quite long, and sending it can trigger bugs in some rarely found servers. Lowkey tragic.
  • protocol.http.bugs.allow_blacklist [0|1] (default: 1) — allow blacklisting of buggy servers. 🚫
  • protocol.http.bugs.broken_302_redirect [0|1] (default: 1) — broken 302 redirect (violates RFC but compatible with Netscape). This is a whole problem for a lot of web discussion boards and the like. If they're doing strange things to you, try to play with this one. 🙈
  • protocol.http.bugs.post_no_keepalive [0|1] (default: 0) — disable keepalive connection after a POST request.
  • protocol.http.bugs.http10 [0|1] (default: 0) — use HTTP/1.0 protocol instead of HTTP/1.1.

🌐 protocol.http.proxy (Proxy configuration)

HTTP proxy configuration. The gateway to the vibes. 🫶

  • protocol.http.proxy.host <str> (default: "") — host and port-number (host:port) of the HTTP proxy, or blank. If it's blank, the HTTP_PROXY environment variable gets checked as well. Iconic fallback behaviour.
  • protocol.http.proxy.user <str> (default: "") — proxy authentication username.
  • protocol.http.proxy.passwd <str> (default: "") — proxy authentication password. 🤫

🕵️ protocol.http.referer (Referer sending)

HTTP referer sending options. So like, the HTTP referer is a special header sent in the HTTP requests, and it's supposed to contain the previous page you visited in the browser. That way the server can know which link you followed when you accessed that page. Cute in theory! But unfortunately this behaviour can considerably affect privacy and can lead even to a security problem on some badly designed web pages. ⚠️ So, you know, choose wisely.

  • protocol.http.referer.policy <num> (default: 3) — mode of sending HTTP referer:
    • 0 is send no referer
    • 1 is send current URL as referer
    • 2 is send fixed fake referer
    • 3 is send previous URL as referer (correct, but insecure) 💀
  • protocol.http.referer.fake <str> (default: "") — fake referer to be sent when policy is 2. Be whoever you wanna be bestie ✨

🔒 protocol.https (HTTPS)

HTTPS-specific options. The secure slay. 👑

🌈 protocol.https.proxy (Proxy configuration)

HTTPS proxy configuration.

  • protocol.https.proxy.host <str> (default: "") — host and port-number (host:port) of the HTTPS CONNECT proxy, or blank. If it's blank, the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable gets checked as well.

📰 protocol.nntp (NNTP)

NNTP and news specific options. Old school but still eating. 🍓

  • protocol.nntp.server <str> (default: "") — used when resolving news: URIs. If set to the empty string, the value of the NNTPSERVER environment variable will be used.
  • protocol.nntp.header_entries <str> (default: "Subject,From,Date,Message-ID,Newsgroups") — comma separated list of which entries in the article header to show. E.g. 'Subject' and 'From'. Fr fr, all header entries can be read in the header info dialog anyway.

🔁 protocol.rewrite (URI rewriting)

Rules for rewriting URIs entered in the goto dialog. It makes it possible to define a set of prefixes that will be expanded if they match a string entered in the goto dialog. The prefixes can be dumb — meaning they work only like URI abbreviations — or smart ones, which make it possible to pass arguments to them like search engine keywords. The range, honestly. 💅

  • protocol.rewrite.default_template <str> (default: "") — default URI template used when the string entered in the goto dialog does not appear to be a URI or a filename (i.e. contains no '.', ':' or '/' characters), and does not match any defined prefixes. Set the value to "" to disable use of the default template rewrite rule.
    • %c in the template means the current URL
    • %s in the template means the whole string from the goto dialog
    • %0,%1,...,%9 mean the 1st,2nd,...,10th space-delimited part of %s
    • %% in the template means '%'
  • protocol.rewrite.enable-dumb [0|1] (default: 1) — enable dumb prefixes — simple URI abbreviations which can be written to the Goto URL dialog instead of actual URIs — i.e. if you write 'elinks' there, you are directed to http://elinks.cz/. Obsessed with the efficiency tbh 🎀
  • protocol.rewrite.enable-smart [0|1] (default: 1) — enable smart prefixes — URI templates triggered by writing a given abbreviation to the Goto URL dialog followed by a list of arguments from which the actual URI is composed — i.e. 'gg:search keywords' or 'gn search keywords for news'. Main character energy 🔥

🧚 protocol.rewrite.dumb (Dumb Prefixes)

Dumb prefixes, see the enable-dumb description for details. (We love a low-effort icon.)

  • protocol.rewrite.dumb._template_ <str> (default: "") — replacement URI for this dumbprefix:
    • %c in the string means the current URL
    • %% in the string means '%'

🦋 protocol.rewrite.smart (Smart Prefixes)

Smart prefixes, see the enable-smart description for details. Big brain hours. 🧠✨

  • protocol.rewrite.smart._template_ <str> (default: "") — replacement URI for this smartprefix:
    • %c in the string means the current URL
    • %s in the string means the whole argument to smartprefix
    • %0,%1,...,%9 means argument 0, 1, ..., 9
    • %% in the string means '%'

📬 protocol.user (User protocols)

User protocols. Options in this tree specify external handlers for the appropriate protocols. Ie. protocol.user.mailto.unix. Bestie, we're outsourcing the work 💅

🗂️ protocol.user._template_ (Template option folder)

Handler (external program) for this protocol. Name the options in this tree after your system (ie. unix, unix-xwin).

  • protocol.user._template_._template_ <str> (default: "") — handler (external program) for this protocol and system.
    • %f in the string means file name to include form data from
    • %h in the string means hostname (or email address)
    • %p in the string means port
    • %d in the string means path (everything after the port)
    • %s in the string means subject (?subject=<this>)
    • %u in the string means the whole URL

🖥️ terminal (Terminals)

Terminal options. Home base. 🏠

🎀 terminal._template_ (Template option folder)

Options specific to this terminal type (according to $TERM value).

  • terminal._template_.type <num> (default: 0) — terminal type; matters mostly only when drawing frames and dialog box borders:
    • 0 is dumb terminal type, ASCII art
    • 1 is VT100, simple but portable
    • 2 is Linux, you get double frames and other goodies ✨
    • 3 is KOI-8
    • 4 is FreeBSD
    • 5 is fbterm
  • terminal._template_.latin1_title [0|1] (default: 1) — when updating the window title of xterm or a similar terminal emulator, encode the title in ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1), rather than in the charset used for other text in the window. Cyrillic and other characters get replaced with Latin ones. Xterm requires this unless you explicitly enable UTF-8 titles in it.

If this option does not take effect immediately, try switching to a different page so that ELinks notices it needs to update the title. 🙈

  • terminal._template_.m11_hack [0|1] (default: 0) — switch fonts when drawing lines, enabling both local characters and lines working at the same time. ELinks uses this option only if UTF-8 I/O is disabled and the terminal type is Linux or FreeBSD.
  • terminal._template_.utf_8_io [0|1] (default: 0) — enable I/O in UTF-8 for Unicode terminals. Note that currently, only the subset of UTF-8 according to terminal codepage is used. ELinks ignores this option if the terminal codepage is UTF-8.
  • terminal._template_.combine [0|1] (default: 0) — enable combining characters. It works only with the xterm in UTF-8 mode.
  • terminal._template_.restrict_852 [0|1] (default: 0) — restrict the characters used when drawing lines. Makes sense only with linux terminals using the cp850/852 character sets.
  • terminal._template_.block_cursor [0|1] (default: 0) — move cursor to bottom right corner when done drawing. This is particularly useful when we have a block cursor, so that inversed text is displayed correctly. 💅
  • terminal._template_.colors <num> (default: 0) — the color mode controls what colors are used and how they are output to the terminal.

Some modes may have been disabled at compile time. The Setup -> Terminal options dialog lists the modes supported by this executable. If you select an unsupported mode, ELinks uses 16 colors.

The color modes are:

  • 0 is mono mode, only 2 colors are used
  • 1 is 16 color mode, uses the common ANSI colors
  • 2 is 88 color mode, uses XTerm RGB codes
  • 3 is 256 color mode, uses XTerm RGB codes
  • 4 is true color mode, uses konsole RGB codes 🌈
  • terminal._template_.transparency [0|1] (default: 0) — if we should not set the background to black. This is particularly useful when we have a terminal (typically in some windowing environment) with a background image or a transparent background — it will be visible in ELinks as well (but ELinks document color handling will still assume the background is black so if you have a bright background you might experience contrast problems). Note that this option makes sense only when colors are enabled. Aesthetic ✨ but read the fine print bestie.
  • terminal._template_.italic [0|1] (default: 0) — if we should use italics. slay
  • terminal._template_.underline [0|1] (default: 0) — if we should use underline or enhance the color instead.
  • terminal._template_.charset <codepage> (default: System) — codepage of charset used for displaying content on terminal. 'System' stands for a codepage determined by a selected locale.

💖 ui (User interface)

User interface options. The glow-up layer.

  • ui.date_format <str> (default: "%b %e %H:%M") — date format to use in dialogs. See strftime(3). 🗓️
  • ui.language <language> (default: "System") — language of user interface. 'System' means that the language will be extracted from the environment dynamically. Iconic. 🫶
  • ui.mouse_disable [0|1] (default: 0) — ngl this one just ✨deletes✨ the mouse from your whole existence. Changes take effect at the next ELinks restart, so don't sit there mashing clicks wondering why nothing's happening 💀
  • ui.show_ip [0|1] (default: 0) — decides whether the IP address of the document gets to live in the status bar. like, showing off where the page actually lives 👀
  • ui.show_menu_bar_always [0|1] (default: 0) — keeps the menu bar on screen always. no vanishing acts, no hide and seek 🫶
  • ui.show_status_bar [0|1] (default: 1) — shows the status bar on the screen. that's the little strip of info, bestie, not your relationship status 💅
  • ui.show_title_bar [0|1] (default: 1) — shows the title bar on the screen. yes it's on by default, she's a main character ⭐
  • ui.startup_goto_dialog [0|1] (default: 1) — pops up the goto dialog in newly created tabs when there´s no homepage set. this means it also shows the goto dialog on startup. so like, no homepage? here's a dialog to go somewhere, babes 🌸
  • ui.success_msgbox [0|1] (default: 1) — when you pressed a Save button in some manager, this option makes sure a box confirming the operation succeeded pops up. instant gratification, we love to see it 🎀
  • ui.window_title [0|1] (default: 1) — sets the window title when you're running in a windowing environment in an xterm-like terminal. this way the document´s title is shown on the window titlebar — so your terminal actually tells you what you're looking at, iconic 🪟✨

🕐 ui.clock (Clock)

Digital clock in the status bar. tiny time bestie, living rent-free in the corner ⏰

  • ui.clock.enable [0|1] (default: 0) — whether to display a digital clock in the status bar. off by default, but she's cute when you turn her on 💖
  • ui.clock.format <str> (default: "[%H:%M]") — the format string for the digital clock. see the strftime(3) manpage for the details, iykyk 🧚
