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.
|
|
|
|
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)
