WIKI-TUI

A simple and easy to use Wikipedia Text User Interface

Note: wiki-tui is still under active development and breaking changes can occur. Please always check the release notes before upgrading


You can find the installation instructions, configuration options, more preview images, a feature overview and more on our website, wiki-tui.net

What can it do?

  • Browse wikipedia in a TUI. Features of the TUI include:

    • Rich search results (result previews, more information on results, continue the current search)
    • Open articles in layers (press ESC to close a layer)
    • A Table of Contents with support for jumping to the section in the article
    • Rich article view (functioning links, lists, headers)
    • Switch the language of an article
  • VIM-like Keybindings:

    • Basic movement
    • Goto Top / Bottom
    • Half up / down
  • It's customizable (we plan on having more features in the future):

    • Change the global and local theme of individual UI components
    • Change some of the keybindings
    • Disable features (Table of Contents, Links)
    • Customize the Table of Contents (position, title format, sizes, etc.)
    • Change wikipedias language (even on the fly)
    • Logging
