RTV: Reddit Terminal Viewer
|
|
===========================
|
|

RTV is an application that allows you to view and interact with reddit from your terminal. It is compatible with *most* terminal emulators on Linux and OSX.
|

============

|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Install using pip
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ sudo pip install rtv
|
|
|
|
Or clone the repository
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/michael-lazar/rtv.git
|
|
$ cd rtv
|
|
$ sudo python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
The installation will place a script in the system path
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ rtv
|
|
$ rtv --help
|
|
|
|
|
|
=============
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
RTV will read a configuration file located at ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rtv/rtv.cfg`` or ``~/.config/rtv/rtv.cfg`` if ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`` is not set.
|
|
This can be used to avoid having to re-enter login credentials every time the program is launched.
|
|
Each line in the file will replace the corresponding default argument in the launch script.
|
|
|
|
Example config:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: ini
|
|
|
|
[rtv]
|
|
username=MyUsername
|
|
password=MySecretPassword
|
|
|
|
# Log file location
|
|
log=/tmp/rtv.log
|
|
|
|
# Default subreddit
|
|
subreddit=CollegeBasketball
|
|
|
|
# Default submission link - will be opened every time the program starts
|
|
# link=http://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/31irjq
|
|
|
|
# Enable unicode characters (experimental)
|
|
# This is known to be unstable with east asian wide character sets
|
|
# unicode=true
|
|
|
|
RTV allows users to compose comments and replys using their preferred text editor (**vi**, **nano**, **gedit**, etc).
|
|
Set the environment variable ``RTV_EDITOR`` to specify which editor the program should use.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ export RTV_EDITOR=gedit
|
|
