Configuration for the Nyxt browser -- bringing Emacs keybindings to keyboard-driven web browsing.
Nyxt is a keyboard-oriented, extensible web browser inspired by Emacs and Vim, fully configurable in Common Lisp. This repo contains a minimalist init.lisp that keeps the excellent defaults while adding two things: Google as a search engine and a set of Emacs-style keybindings on top of Nyxt's default CUA mode.
The philosophy is simple: the out-of-the-box experience is already good, so only override what is missing.

Rather than switching entirely to Emacs mode, these bindings bring familiar Emacs navigation into the default CUA keymap:
| Binding | Action |
|---|---|
M-x |
Execute command |
C-n / C-p |
Scroll down / up |
C-f / C-b |
Scroll right / left |
C-s |
Search buffer |
M-w |
Copy |
C-y |
Paste |
C-Y |
Paste from clipboard ring |
M-s-< / M-s-> |
Scroll to top / bottom |
C-g |
Query selection in search engine |
The prompt buffer uses full Emacs mode for comfortable minibuffer-style interaction.
