Using Ducker with w3m, a text-based web browser

GNU/Linux ◆ xterm ◆ bash 859 views

In this video you can see how Ducker works in an operating system without GUI. Of course, you can simulate this in an operating system with GUI changing the default browser of your operating system. In GNU/Linux this can be done changing the BROWSER environment variable: export BROWSER=w3m.

Here I’m using w3m as the default browser and the version 0.5.3 of Ducker.

While this site doesn't provide GIF conversion at the moment, you can still do it yourself with the help of asciinema GIF generator utility - agg.

Once you have it installed, generate a GIF with the following command:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/95149 demo.gif

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:

agg demo.cast demo.gif

Check agg --help for all available options. You can change font family and size, select color theme, adjust speed and more.

See agg manual for full usage instructions.
