luwak: a simple Emacs web browser based on lynx -dump

luwak mode is a simple Emacs web browser based on lynx -dump. It is currently text-only and GET-only.

Features:

• Asynchronous loading
• Some usual browser features: open, reload, search with a search engine, follow links, go forward / backward in history, copy url of the current page or link at point
• Completion from persistent history in prompt to open a url
• Multiple ways of rendering links: numbered, forward-sexp or hide altogether
• Quickly open a link on the page with completion for url / link id
• imenu support, from all unindented strings (which look like headings)
• Support of storing and capturing for org mode, guessing the title (first imenu item)
• Write the dump of the current page to a file
• Render a buffer containing a lynx dump in the luwak mode
• Browse with or without torsocks

To use, clone this repo, add to load-path and require. Make sure you have lynx installed in your system (apt install lynx, pacman -S lynx etc.). By default the browser does not torsocks, which can be disabled with a prefix arg or switching luwak-tor-switch to nil.

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/luwak")
(require 'luwak)

There are three entry points:

• luwak-open: open a url
• luwak-search: search a query using a customisable default search engine
• luwak-render-buffer: render a lynx dump file in luwak mode

lynx dump -> feline excretion -> Kopi Luwak

• Multiple search engines
• Support for images
• Support for POST
