Conkeror is a Mozilla-based web browser whose design is inspired by GNU Emacs.
You can learn Conkeror's key bindings by reading the tutorial. The keyboard shortcut to visit the tutorial is C-h t. That is, first press Ctrl-h, then release those keys, and press t.

Webjumps are similar to, but potentially more powerful than Firefox's bookmark keywords. You type a webjump name into the location prompt, followed by one or more search terms. Conkeror substitutes your search terms into an url associated with the webjump.
Conkeror has a few webjumps already, but you can find many more, and share your own at the webjumps page of the conkeror wiki.

delicious webjumps can be added by putting the following in your rc file:
add_delicious_webjumps("myusername");
this will create the following webjumps:
| adelicious | Add a delicious bookmark. |
| delicious | View your delicious bookmarks |
| sdelicious | Search your delicious bookmarks |
| sadelicious | Search all delicious bookmarks |
lastfm webjumps can be added by putting the following in your rc file:
define_lastfm_webjumps("myusername");
this will create the following webjumps:
| lastfm | |
| lastfm-user | |
| lastfm-music | |
| lastfm-group | |
| lastfm-tag | |
| lastfm-label | |
| lastfm-event |
You can easily add your own custom webjumps as such:
define_webjump("reddit", "http://www.reddit.com/search?q=%s");
The above will define the "reddit" webjump which searches reddit threads. The "%s" in the URL will be replaced by the search term you enter after the webjump name. I.e. entering "reddit haskell compiler" in the minibuffer will redirect you to the search results for reddit threads matching "haskell compiler" as a search string.
| C-u g | Open an URL in a new buffer |
| C-x b | Select a buffer based on it's name. |
| M-p | previous buffer |
| M-n | Next bufer |
| C-x k | kill buffer |
| C-x 5 f or C-u C-u g | Open an URL in a new frame |
| C-x 5 0 | Close the current frame (all buffers in the frame are lost, at this point) |
| C-x C-c | Quit conkeror |
Conkeror support the universal argument, C-u. It's a prefix binding that changes how a command behaves. In Conkeror, C-u has two main effects. The first effect is that the command will be executed multiple times. For example, typing C-u C-n will cause conkeror to scroll down 4 lines. C-u 12 C-n will cause conkeror to scroll down 12 lines. The second effect is to open in a new buffer or a new window. C-u g conkeror.org RET This opens the conkeror project web page in a new buffer. C-u C-u n 12 RET will open link no. 12 in a new window.
There are some commands where the effect is ambiguous. Does
C-u B go back four pages in the history or does it go back
one and open the result in a new buffer? We are working on adding a second
universal argument that would allow you to do both.
