wicd-curses(8)
NAME
wicd-curses - curses-based wicd(8) controller
DESCRIPTION
wicd-curses is a curses-based network controller that uses the
Wired/Wireless Internet Connection Daemon (wicd) to control your network connections. It is suitable to run in terminal multiplexers like
screen(1).
It is designed to imitate the GTK-based wicd-client(1) as much as possible, and uses the Urwid (http://excess.org/urwid) console widget
library to vastly simplify development.
This man page only documents the current status of wicd-curses. This
may/may not be the most up-to-date document.
ARGUMENTS
- -r, --raw-screen
- Use Urwid's raw console display. This is the default, and has several advantages over the faster curses display, inculding fully functional unicode and internationalization support.
- -c, --curses-screen
- Use Urwid's curses display. This may be faster than the default raw display, but it lacks proper unicode support. This is fine to use if your language of choice only uses Latin characters.
CONTROLS
All of these are case sensitive.
- C or enter
- Connect to selected network
- F8 or Q or q
- Quit the client.
- D Disconnect all devices from network connections
- ESC If connecting to a network, stop doing so
- F5 or R
- Refresh the network list
- P Bring up the preferences controller
- I Bring up hidden network scanning dialog
- H or h or ?
- Bring up a rather simplistic help dialog. Of course, it mentions this man page first. :-)
- A Raise the "About wicd-curses" dialog
- right-arrow
- Bring up network configuration controller for the selected network
- delete Delete the selected wired network profile (from the wired net
- work combo box at the top)
- F2 Rename the selected wired network profile (from the wired net
- work combo box at the top)
- S Bring up instructions on how to edit the scripts. I have imple
- mented a way to do this in the interface itself, but making it function with all Linux distros would be difficult. Since you are reading this, you should know how to do what I suggest. ;-)
- O Raise the Ad-Hoc network creation dialog
