Requirements and Optional Features

Features

Default Features

By default, cratuity is built with both clipboard access and "open in browser" features.

To turn them off, build with --no-default-features.

Clipboard Access

To allow cratuity to copy to your clipboard, the copy feature is required. This is turned on by default.

You can copy the Cargo.toml format for a crate's most recent version by selecting the crate with J/K and then pressing C to copy the string to the clipboard. For example, selecting the serde crate and pressing C may cause something like the following to be copied to your clipboard: serde = "1.0.118"

Open in Browser

If the browser feature is turned on, cratuity can open the documentation link for a crate in your system's default browser.

Requirements

Clipboard Access

To have access to the clipboard on Linux xorg-dev must be installed
