NAME

6       podviewer - a Gtk2-Perl POD Reading Program
7

SYNOPSIS

9               podviewer [FILE|MODULE|FUNCTION|POD]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       "podviewer" provides a simple and attractive way to read Perl's POD
13       documentation. You can use it to read the Perl POD pages, module
14       documentation and information about Perl's builtin functions.
15

KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

17       "podviewer" supports a wide number of keyboard shortcuts. They are
18       documented here.
19
20       •   "Ctrl-U" or "Alt-Up"
21
22           Go up a level. That is, if you're reading the documentation for
23           "Foo::Bar", typing "Ctrl-U" will take you to the "Foo" page.
24
25       •   "Alt-Left"
26
27           Go back in your browsing history.
28
29       •   "Alt-Right"
30
31           Go forward in your browsing history.
32
33       •   "Ctrl-H"
34
35           Go home. If you have the "home" option set in your config (see
36           below), entering "Ctrl-H" will take you there.
37
38       •   "Ctrl-L"
39
40           This toggles the document index.
41
42       •   "Ctrl-O"
43
44           This pops up a dialog allowing you to choose a document to read.
45
46       •   "Ctrl-R" or "F5"
47
48           This reloads the current document.
49
50       •   "Ctrl-Q"
51
52           This quits the program.
53
54       •   "Ctrl-F"
55
56           This pops up a dialog for you to enter some search text.
57
58       •   "Ctrl-G"
59
60           This performs the previous search, but from the most recently found
61           result. You can also repeat the previous search by pressing enter
62           when the cursor is in the search box.
63
64       •   "F1"
65
66           Loads this document.
67

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

69       "podviewer" stores its configuration settings in a resource file,
70       located at "$HOME/.podviewrc". This file contains simple "name=value"
71       pairs for various things:
72
73       •   "icon-size"
74
75           If you want to change the size of the icons on the toolbar, change
76           this value. The values are standard Gtk+ stock values.
77
78       •   "home"
79
80           This is the name of the document you want to be your home page.
81           This page is loaded when you start the program without arguments,
82           hit the Home button, or type "Ctrl-H".
