externalpipe

Description

Pipe the current page's source to an external program. This is particularly helpful for keyboard-based link following and also for viewing the source in an external editor. Works both when javascript is enabled and disabled.

Example

Install the below shell scripts into your $PATH:

Add to your config.h: 

static char *linkselect_curwin [] = { "/bin/sh", "-c",
	"surf_linkselect.sh $0 'Link' | xargs -r xprop -id $0 -f _SURF_GO 8s -set _SURF_GO",
	winid, NULL
};
static char *linkselect_newwin [] = { "/bin/sh", "-c",
	"surf_linkselect.sh $0 'Link (new window)' | xargs -r surf",
	winid, NULL
};
static char *editscreen[] = { "/bin/sh", "-c", "edit_screen.sh", NULL };
...
static Key keys[] = {
	{ MODKEY,                GDK_KEY_d, externalpipe, { .v = linkselect_curwin } },
	{ GDK_SHIFT_MASK|MODKEY, GDK_KEY_d, externalpipe, { .v = linkselect_newwin } },
	{ MODKEY,                GDK_KEY_o, externalpipe, { .v = editscreen        } },
	...
}

Now you have the new keybindings:
