# vimb
Vimb is a web browser that behaves like Vimprobable, but with some
paradigms from dwb and hopefully a cleaner code base. The goal of Vimb is to
build a completely keyboard-driven, efficient and pleasurable
browsing-experience with low memory and cpu usage.

More information and some screenshots of vimb browser in action can be found on
the [vimb project page][vimb].

## install
Edit config.mk to match your local setup.

Edit config.h to match your personal preferences.

The default Makefile will not overwrite your customised `config.h` with the
contents of `config.def.h`, even if it was updated in the latest git pull.
Therefore, you should always compare your customised `config.h` with
`config.def.h` and make sure you include any changes to the latter in your
`config.h`.

Run following command to compile and install vimb (if necessary last one as
root).

    make clean && make
    make install

To build vimb against gtk3 you can use `make GTK=3`.
