NAME

6       wicd-curses - curses-based wicd(8) controller
7

DESCRIPTION

9       wicd-curses   is  a  curses-based  network  controller  that  uses  the
10       Wired/Wireless Internet Connection Daemon (wicd) to control  your  net‐
11       work  connections.  It is suitable to run in terminal multiplexers like
12       screen(1).
13
14       It is designed to imitate the GTK-based wicd-client(1) as much as  pos‐
15       sible,  and  uses  the  Urwid  (http://excess.org/urwid) console widget
16       library to vastly simplify development.
17
18       This man page only documents the current status of  wicd-curses.   This
19       may/may not be the most up-to-date document.

CONTROLS

22       All of these are case sensitive.
23
24       C or enter
25              Connect to selected network
26
27       F8 or Q or q
28              Quit the client.
29
30       D      Disconnect all devices from network connections
31
32       ESC    If connecting to a network, stop doing so
33
34       F5 or R
35              Refresh the network list
36
37       P      Bring up the preferences controller
38
39       I      Bring up hidden network scanning dialog
40
41       H or h or ?
42              Bring  up  a  rather simplistic help dialog.  Of course, it men‐
43              tions this man page first. :-)
44
45       A      Raise the "About wicd-curses" dialog
46
47       right-arrow
48              Bring up network configuration controller for the selected  net‐
49              work
50
51       delete Delete  the  selected wired network profile (from the wired net‐
52              work combo box at the top)
53
54       F2     Rename the selected wired network profile (from the  wired  net‐
55              work combo box at the top)
56
57       S      Bring up instructions on how to edit the scripts.  I have imple‐
58              mented a way to do this in the interface itself, but  making  it
59              function  with  all Linux distros would be difficult.  Since you
60              are reading this, you should know how to do what I suggest.  ;-)
61
62       O      Raise the Ad-Hoc network creation dialog
63
64       X      Show the list of saved wireless networks, to be able  to  remove
