Number keys If there are few enough menu items, pressing a number key will open a link. Otherwise, the first matching number will be selected. Use Enter to open the selected link.
Incremental search Press f or / to activate search mode, then just start typing. Phetch will look for the first case-insensitive match and try to select it. Use arrow keys or Ctrl-p/Ctrl-n to cycle through matches.
BOOKMARKS
There are two ways to save the URL of the current page:
y Copy URL. s Save bookmark.
Bookmarks will be saved to the file ~/.config/phetch/bookmarks.gph if the directory ~/.config/phetch/ exists.
b View saved bookmarks.
The clipboard function uses pbcopy on MacOS, and xsel -sel clip on Linux.
HISTORY
If you create a history.gph file in ~/.config/phetch/, each Gopher URL you open will be stored there.
New URLs are appended to the bottom, but loaded in reverse order, so you'll see all the most recently visited pages first when you press the a key.
Feel free to edit your history file directly, or share it with your friends!
