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`](https://github.com/davatorium/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.

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].

Installation
------------
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.

Running surf in tabbed
----------------------
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.
