It's apparently possible to invoke ELinks as the last step in a pipe and
use it as a pager.
An artificial example might be:
$ cat file | elinks
This fires up a new instance of ELinks that displays this dialog:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ What would you like to do with 'stdin' type: text/plain? │
│ │
│ Program ('%' will be replaced by the filename) │
│ ............................................................ │
│ │
│ [X] Block the terminal │
│ │
│ [ Open ] [ Save ] [ Display ] [ Show header ] [ Cancel ] │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The [ Open ] button is focused so hitting <Enter> makes Elinks display
the file's contents.
If I don't specify 'Program' or '%', and ELinks defaults to itself, so
to speak, which makes me think that I should be able to skip the popup.
I played with the options under 'Options Manager -> MIME' and ELinks's
command-line switches, but I am still seeing this popup.
Is there any way I could have Elinks skip this dialog?
Thanks,
CJ
