What is archwiki-tui?

archwiki-tui is a terminal-based browser for the Arch Wiki, the documentation site for Arch Linux. Instead of opening a web browser to search the wiki, you type a command in your terminal and get the content there. It is written in Go and described as a beta release. The tool is aimed at Arch Linux users who are already working in a terminal, for instance while debugging a system problem, and want to look up documentation without switching to a graphical browser. The project lists four reasons for existing: it does one thing, fuzzy searching article titles in the terminal is faster than navigating a website, pressing a single key copies code blocks directly to the clipboard, and it caches pages you have read so they remain available if your network connection breaks. Keyboard controls follow the Vim convention: "j" and "k" move up and down, "/" starts a search, "Enter" opens a page or follows a link, "c" copies the nearest code block to the clipboard, "b" goes back, and "q" quits. Installation is available through the AUR (the Arch User Repository, a community package source for Arch Linux), via a one-line install script, or by building from source with Go and Make. The project is MIT licensed.
