# The textproc/urlscan port

## urlscan-1.0.6p0 – terminal URL viewer (urlview replacement)

## Description

    Urlscan is a small program that is designed to integrate with the
    "mutt" mailreader to allow you to easily launch a Web browser for URLs
    contained in email messages. It is a replacement for the "urlview"
    program.

    Relative to urlview, urlscan has the following additional features:

    * Support for emails in quoted-printable and base64 encodings. No more
      stripping out =40D from URLs by hand!

    * The context of each URL is provided along with the URL. For HTML
      mails, a crude parser is used to render the HTML into text. Context
      view can be toggled on/off with c.

    * URLs are shortened by default to fit on one line. Viewing full URL
      (for one or all) is toggled with s or S.

    * Jump to a URL by typing the number.

    * Incremental case-insensitive search with /.

    * Execute an arbitrary function (for example, copy URL to clipboard)
      instead of opening URL in a browser.

    * Use l to cycle through whether URLs are opened using the Python
      webbrowser module (default), xdg-open (if installed) or opened by a
      function passed on the command line with --run or --run-safe.

    * Configure colors and keybindings via ~/.config/urlscan/config.json.
      Generate default config file for editing by running urlscan -g. Cycle
      through available palettes with p. Set display width with --width.

    * Copy URL to clipboard with C or to primary selection with P. Requires
      xsel or xclip.

    * Run a command with the selected URL as the argument or pipe the
      selected URL to a command.

    * Show complete help menu with F1. Hide header on startup with --nohelp.

    * Use a custom regular expression with -E for matching urls or any other
      pattern. In junction with -r, this effectively turns urlscan into a
      general purpose CLI selector-type utility.

    * Scan certain email headers for URLs. Currently Link, Archived-At and
      List-* are scanned when --headers is passed.

    * Queue multiple URLs for opening and open them all at once with a and o.
