leo-gmi 1.2.1

A terminal-based client for the Gemini protocol.

leo

a gemini client written in Python 3.

(UNIX-only, Windows support with WSL)

Instructions for use:

0. $ pip install leo-gmi
1. $ leo --copy-config to create a config file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/leo (falls back to ~/.config/leo)

• If you don't want to put the config file in either of those places, leo --print-config prints out the config that you can then supply to leo with the --config option.

2. set options to your preferences in the config.json file.

   • wrap_text specifies whether to wrap text beyond a certain width.
   • wrap_margin specifies what that width should be.
   • homepage is a page to load by default if no URL is specified.
   • cert_path is the path to a certificate file.

   Note: You can specify an alternate config file with the --config option.

3. $ leo --url <url>. If you do not specify a URL, the homepage set in config.json is loaded. If no homepage is set, you will be prompted for a URL.

4. if you'd like to connect providing a client certificate (required by certain Gemini servers), set the "cert_path" option in your config file to a valid path to a cert file.

5. Links are preceded by a number that is underlined and violet in colour. Type in the number of the link at the (URL/Num): prompt in order to navigate to a specific link, or type in a URL.

6. Type reload to refresh a page. reload hard redownloads the page.

7. back takes you one page back.

8. ls lists all of the links on the current page, for easy navigation.

9. Type help at any time to view a listing of these and other useful commands.

10. Type exit or quit to exit leo.
