This is a curses-based client for wicd. It is designed to imitate wicd-client
|
||||
as much as can be done with a console-based interface. It is written using the
|
||||
Urwid (http://excess.org/urwid) toolkit, and thus requires it.
|
||||
|
||||
That's all there is to it, really. It installs unless you disable it when you
|
||||
call setup.py.
|
||||
|
||||
Right now, it lists current available networks, and whether you are connected
|
||||
to anything or not, all of which is updated in real time. Other features
|
||||
include the ability to connect to networks, global preferences controls, and
|
||||
per-network settings for wireless networks.
|
||||
|
||||
All features that I plan on implementing (that are not mentioned above) are
|
||||
listed the TODO file in this same directory. If you want any other features,
|
||||
ask me. I try to be on the #wicd Freenode IRC channel most of the time.
|
||||
|
||||
Controls (most of these should be viewable in wicd-curses itself):
|
||||
|
||||
F5 : refresh wireless networks
|
||||
F8 Q q : quit
|
||||
D : disconnect from all active networks
|
||||
ESC : if connecting to a network, stop doing so
|
||||
ENTER C : Attempt connection to selected network
|
||||
P : Display preferences dialog
|
||||
right arrow : Display network configuration for selected network
|
||||
A : Display "About" dialog
|
||||
I : Raise the "Scan for hidden networks" dialog
|
||||
H or h or ? : Raise help dialog
|
||||
S : Provide instructions for configuring scripts
|
||||
delete : Delete selected wired network profile (from the wired ComboBox)
|
||||
F2 : Rename selected wired network profile (from the wired ComboBox)
|
||||
O : Raise ad-hoc network dialog
|
||||
|
||||
IN DIALOGS (Meta usually is "Alt"):
|
||||
ESC or Q or q: Quit dialog without saving information (if present)
|
||||
Meta+[ / Meta+]: Change tabs Left/Right (if tabs present)
|
||||
Meta+Enter : Quit dialog and save information
|
||||
|
||||
FAQ (WIP):
|
||||
|
||||
What is wicd-curses?
|
||||
See above. :-)
|
||||
|
||||
Why didn't you call it wicd-urwid? There is a hachoir-urwid package out there.
|
||||
I first called this "urwicd". However, due to the relative obscurity of
|
||||
the urwid package, and the fact that many more people know what "curses"
|
||||
is, I named it wicd-curses.
|
||||
|
||||
Why don't you support lower-case keybindings for most of the commands?
|
||||
I was trying to prevent mass chaos from happening because of mashing keys.
|
||||
Of course, if you unwittingly have caps-lock on, that's going to cause mass
|
||||
chaos, too, so you might want to check that (or ask me about changing the
|
||||
keymaps to ctrl/meta+KEY)
