Setup

Install newsraft, then:

1mkdir ~/.config/newsraft
2echo 'https://codeberg.org/newsraft/newsraft.atom "Newsraft git"' >> ~/.config/newsraft/feeds
3newsraft

Commands

Copy the default config file:

1cp /usr/share/doc/newsraft/example/config ~/.config/newsraft/config

Add a line to check the man page while inside the program:

1bind M exec man newsraft

This will fail, because the letter 'M' is taken by mpv.

Add this line to take the default link, and place it in a list of videos.

1bind V mark-read; exec echo "%l" >> ~/.cache/vidlist.txt
