To bad this browser is not on HomeBrew and you need among other dependencies Xcode, which in itself is already 11GB!!!

So much space needed for a "lightweight" browser

Thanks for responding! That wasn't my experience with using enter, but i just tried it and it works, so I'm pretty sure that was just me :) the command being relegated to buffers is useful to know. > - `tab` inserts the current selection in the input. Do you mean something else? In emacs (specifically ivy/helm), tab in context-sensitive. Using tab on a command input autocompletes that input, where elsewhere it behave…

The prompt buffer (previously known as "minibuffer") supports fuzzy completion: you never have to type the suggestion in full. Just type a portion of what you want and the appropriate suggestion should come to the top. Even typos are supported. If duckduckgo does not load, maybe you enable noscript-mode, proxy-mode or similar? Try starting the browser with `nyxt -I` (no config file). Do other HTTPS site work? `d` is…

Thank you :) I tried this with a few commands and it does select the topmost entry when i hit "enter". However, typing in "duck" and hitting enter does not go to https://duckduckgo.com, which is what was intended. There doesn't seem to be a way to select or cycle through the available entries? mouse clicking does not work and nor do the arrow keys

https://news.ycombinator.com works with nyxt -I, however https://duckduckgo.com/ shows a blank screen. I compiled with the latest webkit2gtk on Alpine Linux. I've had this problem with Surf so it might straight up be a webkit problem.

When I press it it exits nyxt. Running it in a console we can now see this error: https://tpaste.us/x1zJ

Another thing I just noticed, is that hitting "emacs mode" in the command list loads emacs mode, but vi-normal is still active! Hitting "vi-normal" to make it go back into vi-mode does not work, but selecting 'vi' in the settings menu shifts the current buffer back to vi mode. Should I select 'emacs-mode' again to get out of it, like a toggle?

If you want a Chrome/Firefox extension that does some of these things and more, check out Surfingkeys: https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys

Similarly, I've been using Modeless Keyboard Navigation[0] (a vimium fork to remove the normal/edit mode distinction) for about 2 years now, and it works wonderfully for navigating to links via keyboard.

Wish this were easier to download since it's more common to use Brew now. Very excited at the idea of having fast fuzzy switching of tabs. I wish more things operated like that.

Yeah am really surprised as well. Any plan to add it to Brew?
