# surf - simple webkit-based browser

surf is a simple Web browser based on WebKit/GTK+.

My build of surf, the feather-weight and simple web browser made by suckless.

See the original website at [surf.suckless.org](https://surf.suckless.org)

## Features

- add/remove bookmarks (one per line in ~/.config/surf/bookmarks)

- custom search engines (prefixes)

- search in duckduckgo by prefixing a query with '\`'

- use XA\_CLIPBOARD instead of XA\_PRIMARY for C-y and C-p operations

- spawn download history in a terminal with 

- edit page source in $EDITOR

- follow links with keyboard shortcuts + dmenu

- open links in the default browser (`xdg-open`)

Some patches may have been modified by me to suit my needs better.

## Requirements

In order to build surf you need GTK+ and Webkit/GTK+ header files.

In order to use the functionality of the url-bar, also install dmenu[0].

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (surf is installed into

the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install surf (if

necessary as root):

    make clean install

## Running surf

run

	surf [URI]

See the manpage for further options.
