• Conkeror — a keyboard-oriented web browser as xulrunner application - Axel Beckert
  • Abstract: The talk presents Conkeror (with a C), a keyboard-oriented, highly-customizable, highly-extensible web browser based on Mozilla XULRunner, written mainly in JavaScript, and inspired by software such as Emacs and Lynx but also vi. Conkeror features a sophisticated keyboard system, allowing users to run commands and interact with content in powerful and novel ways. It is self-documenting, featuring a powerful interactive help system. The talk covers the history, connections to other FLOSS projects, the often misleading name, features, concepts and the future of Conkeror.
  • Slides will show up in time at http://noone.org/talks/conkeror/, see http://noone.org/talks/ (includes short bio and contact details) until then.
