terminal URL viewer (urlview replacement) |
Urlscan is a small program that is designed to integrate with the
"mutt" mailreader to allow you to easily launch a Web browser for URLs
contained in email messages. It is a replacement for the "urlview"
program.
Relative to urlview, urlscan has the following additional features:
* Support for emails in quoted-printable and base64 encodings. No more
stripping out =40D from URLs by hand!
* The context of each URL is provided along with the URL. For HTML
mails, a crude parser is used to render the HTML into text. Context
view can be toggled on/off with c.
* URLs are shortened by default to fit on one line. Viewing full URL
(for one or all) is toggled with s or S.
* Jump to a URL by typing the number.
* Incremental case-insensitive search with /.
* Execute an arbitrary function (for example, copy URL to clipboard)
instead of opening URL in a browser.
* Use l to cycle through whether URLs are opened using the Python
webbrowser module (default), xdg-open (if installed) or opened by a
function passed on the command line with --run or --run-safe.
* Configure colors and keybindings via ~/.config/urlscan/config.json.
Generate default config file for editing by running urlscan -g. Cycle
through available palettes with p. Set display width with --width.
* Copy URL to clipboard with C or to primary selection with P. Requires
xsel or xclip.
* Run a command with the selected URL as the argument or pipe the
selected URL to a command.
* Show complete help menu with F1. Hide header on startup with --nohelp.
* Use a custom regular expression with -E for matching urls or any other
pattern. In junction with -r, this effectively turns urlscan into a
general purpose CLI selector-type utility.
* Scan certain email headers for URLs. Currently Link, Archived-At and
List-* are scanned when --headers is passed.
* Queue multiple URLs for opening and open them all at once with a and o.
