surf - simple webkit-based browser

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

Custom features

Use ~/.config, ~/.local/share and ~/.cache for config, data and cache files.
Use rofi instead of dmenu for interactive prompts.
Use notify-send to send status messages regarding downloads.
More vim-like keybinds (see updated manpage).
Use duckduckgo.com as a homepage.
Specify a custom download directory.
Simple history for visited websites.
Hotkey to play video and audio in external player.
Add search through duckduckgo.com with history.

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

run surf [URI]

See the manpage for further options.

For running surf in tabbed[1] there is a script included in the distribution, which is run like this:

surf-open.sh [URI]

Further invocations of the script will run surf with the specified URI in this instance of tabbed.
