[SOLVED] Uzbl help

Hello!

I just recently installed uzbl from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25972 and works really great! Haven't gone through each function yet though. My problem is I was assuming that the default command to open a new uzbl window is :new_window http://google.com since I found the line below in the default config:

set new_window          = sh 'uzbl-browser -u $8'

I've also tried:

bind t _    = sh 'uzbl --uri %s'

Not working too. Although when I enter the command:

sh "uzbl-browser -u htt://google.com"

It works just fine.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Uzbl help

new_window is not a command. it's a handler.
See /usr/share/uzbl/docs/README

Re: [SOLVED] Uzbl help

the command to start uzbl browser is <code>uzbl-browser</code>

That, plus the fact that Uzbl doesn't have real "tab"s; but any number of instances you want running at the same time.

There's plenty ways to simulate tabbed browsing though.

Best to just go through the documentation.

Oh, currently using the Tabbed layout of the wm i am using. What I did now is just made a keybind from xmonad to just spawn uzbl-browser. Not sure if it's the best way though I guess it's faster for me. If there are any other solutions, do tell. Thanks again!
