Text-tv is great! plaintext and to-the-point news with no filler. Now you can read it without touching your mouse or your tv-remote :)
If you have Python 3.6 or later with pip installed, just run
pip3 install --user txtv
Currently wont work natively on the Windows command line because of readline; but you can use it with Ubuntu for Windows.
Running with no arguments will enter interactive mode.
txtv
From there you can run any of these commands:
help | h | ? -- show this help text.
quit | q | exit -- quit the program (duh)
list | ls | l -- list all articles
next | n | > -- show next available page.
previous | prev | p | < -- show previous available page.
<PAGE NUMBER> -- show the page at the specified number
You can also give any of these commands as an argument on the normal command line to run un-interactively. Except for quit, next, and previous, because that would make no sense.
txtv 100 # show page 100
txtv ls # list all news articles
txtv.py will automatically generate a config file at ~/.config/txtv/txtv.cfg with default values. It uses format of configparser.
under the alias category you can specify any number of aliases for txtv commands. These will work both in interactive mode and as subcommands when calling txtv from your shell.
example:
[alias]
all=list
will let you list all articles from shell with
txtv all
or by typing all in interactive mode.
So far there is only one option here, named prompt. It is just the prompt string used in interactive mode.
example:
[general]
prompt = kommandorörelse>
