qutebrowser supports two different web rendering engines / backends, QtWebKit and QtWebEngine.
QtWebKit was discontinued by the Qt project with Qt 5.6, but picked up as a well maintained fork: https://github.com/annulen/webkit/wiki - qutebrowser only supports the fork.
QtWebEngine is Qt's official successor to QtWebKit. It's slightly more resource hungry than QtWebKit and has a couple of missing features in qutebrowser, but is generally the preferred choice.
This setting requires a restart.

Type: <<types,String>>

Valid values:

 * +webengine+: Use QtWebEngine (based on Chromium).
 * +webkit+: Use QtWebKit (based on WebKit, similar to Safari).

Default: +pass:[webengine]+

[[bindings.commands]]
=== bindings.commands
Keybindings mapping keys to commands in different modes.
While it's possible to add bindings with this setting, it's recommended to use `config.bind()` in `config.py` or the `:bind` command, and leave this setting alone.
This setting is a dictionary containing mode names and dictionaries mapping keys to commands:
`{mode: {key: command}}`
If you want to map a key to another key, check the `bindings.key_mappings` setting instead.
For modifiers, you can use either `-` or `+` as delimiters, and these names:

  * Control: `Control`, `Ctrl`

  * Meta:    `Meta`, `Windows`, `Mod4`

  * Alt:     `Alt`, `Mod1`

  * Shift:   `Shift`

For simple keys (no `<>`-signs), a capital letter means the key is pressed with Shift. For special keys (with `<>`-signs), you need to explicitly add `Shift-` to match a key pressed with shift.
If you want a binding to do nothing, bind it to the `nop` command. If you want a default binding to be passed through to the website, bind it to null.
Note that some commands which are only useful for bindings (but not used interactively) are hidden from the command completion. See `:help` for a full list of available commands.
The following modes are available:

* normal: Default mode, where most commands are invoked.

* insert: Entered when an input field is focused on a website, or by
  pressing `i` in normal mode. Passes through almost all keypresses to the
  website, but has some bindings like `<Ctrl-e>` to open an external
  editor. Note that single keys can't be bound in this mode.

* hint: Entered when `f` is pressed to select links with the keyboard. Note
  that single keys can't be bound in this mode.

* passthrough: Similar to insert mode, but passes through all keypresses
  except `<Escape>` to leave the mode. It might be useful to bind
  `<Escape>` to some other key in this mode if you want to be able to send
  an Escape key to the website as well. Note that single keys can't be
  bound in this mode.

* command: Entered when pressing the `:` key in order to enter a command.
  Note that single keys can't be bound in this mode.

* prompt: Entered when there's a prompt to display, like for download
  locations or when invoked from JavaScript.

* yesno: Entered when there's a yes/no prompt displayed.
* caret: Entered when pressing the `v` mode, used to select text using the
  keyboard.

* register: Entered when qutebrowser is waiting for a register name/key for
  commands like `:set-mark`.

Type: <<types,Dict>>

Default: empty

[[bindings.default]]
=== bindings.default
Default keybindings. If you want to add bindings, modify `bindings.commands` instead.
The main purpose of this setting is that you can set it to an empty dictionary if you want to load no default keybindings at all.
If you want to preserve default bindings (and get new bindings when there is an update), use `config.bind()` in `config.py` or the `:bind` command, and leave this setting alone.

This setting can only be set in config.py.

[[bindings.key_mappings]]
=== bindings.key_mappings
This setting can be used to map keys to other keys.
When the key used as dictionary-key is pressed, the binding for the key used as dictionary-value is invoked instead.
This is useful for global remappings of keys, for example to map Ctrl-[ to Escape.
Note that when a key is bound (via `bindings.default` or `bindings.commands`), the mapping is ignored.
