Customization

At this point, you can run webkitten-gtk, but it is a blank slate without customized configuration or registered commands. Its a matter of personal preference how you want webkitten to work for you and what commands and keyboard shortcuts (among other things) should be available.

  1. View the configuration options reference and customize your configuration as needed
  2. Select commands from webkitten/contrib which may be useful to you and install them into your command search path.
  3. Write any other commands you need to make your browser perfect.
