Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

I don't know if anybody else is having this problem, but I can't seem to control flash objects with my keyboard when I should; e.g. a flash game like http://tetrisfriends.com

I think you will find this is because you are not in insert mode. The binding is "i" in the default rc.lua.

When you are not in insert mode all keys are caught by the window and not sent to the webview. It would be nice to be able to detect when you click on flash instances and I think that may be possible by checking for other hit test results in this function:

http://github.com/mason-larobina/luakit … iew.c#L888

But I'm not sure what result you should check for when clicking on flash objects.

Mason.

oh, I was just about to report that I got around the problem going into follow mode, and just clicking on the flash object.

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

where's rc.lua supposed to go? I tried to echo $XDG_DATA_DIR, but it doesn't exist. My guess would be ~/.config/luakit?

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

you can create the variable in your shell file: export XDG_DATA_DIR="directory", but yeah, it's usually ~/.config/luakit/rc.lua. AFAIK. great project, by the way. :} thanks for this

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

Berticus;
if you used the AUR pkg, the install file/pacman tells you where to copy  rc.lua to/from.

Could you implement the possibility to open links via hints in a new tab? I like the way jumanji does it, there you press a capital F for this action.

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

New luakit release: 2010.08.30

Summary of changes from 2010.08.13 to 2010.08.30:

1. Removed libxdg-basedir dependency, using glibs
`g_get_user_{config,data,cache}_dir()` functions instead.
2. Add `DEVELOPMENT_PATHS` flag to toggle the adding of relative locations to
the lua `package.path`.
3. Set default download dir to $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR or $HOME/downloads
4. Change into insert mode when clicking on an input element.
5. Remove callbacks on deprecated webview signals (E.g.
"load-property-update", "load-status", "load-finished" & etc).
6. Use hash table lookup for webview widget properties.
7. Add webview widget `:reload()` method.
8. Renamed `luakit.selection()` to `luakit.get_selection(..)` and added new
`luakit.set_selection(..)`.
9. Add button release signals.
10. Add mouse bindings with `lousy.bind.but({mods}, num, func)`.
11. Add `luakit.get_special_dir(atom)` wrapper around glibs
`g_get_user_special_dir(atom)`.
12. Use gobject "signal::notify" signal for "property::name" signals.
13. Enable middle-click closing of tabs.
14. Add `luakit.spawn(cmd)` and `luakit.spawn_sync(cmd)` functions.
15. Add scroll page function and vi-like page scrolling bindings.
16. Add webkit webview `:get_view_source()` & `:set_view_source(..)` methods.
17. Add formfiller.lua (ported from uzbl grodzik!). This version supports
multiple-profiles and autosubmitting forms.
18. Add per-domain webview properties which are modified in globals.lua.
19. Add `luakit.webkit_{major,minor,micro}_version` properties.
20. Custom luakit useragent.
21. Handle webkit "create-web-view" signal which fixes "Open in new window"
context menu item.
22. Make heavy use of `luaL_argerror` in widget functions.
23. Add zooming functions & binds.
24. Add "O" and "T" binds which do the exact same as "o" & "t" but provide the
current uri as the uri argument.
25. Use portable sigaction instead of signal & add "-std=gnu99" to the
Makefile.
26. Add bookmarks lib which is able to generate html output.
27. Build api docs with the `make apidoc` make target using the `luadoc`
program.
28. Split the large rc.lua into several smaller files: webview.lua,
window.lua, binds.lua, globals.lua, modes.lua, theme.lua & rc.lua.
29. Created luakit vim syntax which highlights javascript between "[=[" &
"]=]" regions, html between "[==[" & "]==]" regions and css between "[===[" &
"]===]" regions.
30. Add window closing function & binds.
31. Add "resource-request-started" callback and lua signal for webview
widgets.
32. Add "populate-popup" signal which can build a context menu from a returned
table.
33. Add & install `extras/luakit.desktop` file and icon `extras/luakit.png`.
34. Add several more common widget box/container methods.
35. Add per-domain cookie acceptance policies.
36. Use help2man to build manpage for luakit.
37. Make `--help` and `--version` work without X.
38. Make all uris which point to relative paths absolute paths (allows loading
of local resources like images).
39. Track current uri manually so that on error "T" & "O" binds allow you to
edit the failed uri.
40. Add ssl trusted widget which reads "(trust)" on valid website certificate,
"(notrust)" on invalid certificate & "(nocheck)" if no ca-file was used to
check the connection.
41. Add simple key name mapping table (mainly for "ISO_Left_Tab" -> "Tab").
42. All mode actions, webview signal handlers, window signal handlers, webview
methods and window methods can be replaced with custom functions without
editing `window.lua`, `webview.lua` or `mode.lua`. Simply make some changes in
a `mine.lua` and add `require "mine"` to your `rc.lua`.
43. Add gtk label `:set_width(chars)` widget method which is used to make all
tablabels the same width.
44. Several bug fixes.

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

Can we reload the config w/o restarting luakit?
In firefox I can enter addresses and perform searches both from the location bar; could we get the same funcationality in luakit? eg type `og luakit` to do a google search for luakit or `oluakit.org` to go directly to the website.
I also made an issue about html5 localstorage.

I'm using luakit-git, I added those lines to my rc.lua, localstorage still doesn't persist across browser restarts, only page refreshes. The rc.lua function doesn't seem to do anything either way.

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

If you are looking to use the open command for everything, then something like this may be better suited.

if string.match(a, " ") then
    if (function (s, l)  -- tests if first word is a search engine
            for i in pairs(l) do
                if s == i then return true end
            end
            return false
        end) (string.match(a, "%w+"), search_engines)
    then
        w:websearch(a)
    else
        w:websearch("google " .. a)
    end
elseif string.match(a, "%.") then
    w:navigate(a)
else
    w:websearch("google " .. a)
end

edit: cleaned the code a bit, thanks aeosynth

It first checks if there is a space in the address, if yes it checks the list of search engines you have defined, failing that does a google search. If it is a single term, then it checks for a dot like in Mason's example. BTW "\." was still matching as wildcard for me and not escaping properly, so I used "[.]" instead which seems to work.

It has been a few years since I have worked with lua so please forgive any dodgyness, and feel free to improve it if you want smile.

@aeosynth: instead of defining keywords in your open command, they should be added to the searchengines table in globals.lua:

search_engines = {
...
    g           = "http://google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q={0}",
    w           = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search={0}",
...
}

Note that I use google lucky search as default, it is usually pretty reliable - if the first result is a good match it will take you directly to that page, otherwise you will get the search results as usual.

While I am posting here anyway:
    - is there a way to cancel loading a page? I tried C-c and looked through binds.lua but couldn't see anything.
    - can we get text zoom as well as page zoom?

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

I set a personnal stylesheet in the domain properties, but it's very slow to load, in a previous version it was immediatly loaded.
So I change the domain function in webview.lua to the old one.
I don't know what is the "provisionnal" status, maybe there was a reason to do with this status and not "commited".

    -- Domain properties                                                                                                             
    domain_properties = function (view, w)
        view:add_signal("load-status", function (v, status)
--         if status ~= "provisional" then return end -- SLOW STYLESHEETS LOADING
            if status ~= "committed" then return end -- FAST STYLESHEETS LOADING
            local domain = (v.uri and string.match(v.uri, "^%a+://([^/]*)/?")) or "about:blank"
            if string.match(domain, "^www.") then domain = string.sub(domain, 5) end
            local props = lousy.util.table.join(domain_props.all or {}, domain_props[domain] or {})
            for k, v in pairs(props) do
                info("Domain prop: %s = %s (%s)", k, tostring(v), domain)
                view:set_prop(k, v)
            end
        end)
  end,

Also :
- I don't understand how to add a signal function in mine.lua (I know it's due to a lack of lua knowledge but if accept every clues).
- With the url like this (with target="_blank") 

<a href="http://www.exemple.com/" target="_blank">Exemple</a>

luakit create a new window, is it possible to open the url in a tab ?
- When I close au tab, I have a gtk error

(luakit:3508): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_get_clipboard: assertion `gtk_widget_has_screen (widget)' failed

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

Thanks quigybo, I ended up simplifying to just this:

    cmd({"open",        "o"  },         function (w, a)
                                            if string.match(a, ' ') then
                                                w:websearch(a)
                                            elseif string.match(a, '%.') then
                                                w:navigate(a)
                                            else
                                                w:websearch('g ' .. a)
                                            end
                                        end),

Yeah '\.' was still wildcard matching for me too, so I looked at the lua reference and apparently '%' "is the standard way to escape the magic characters."

The only problem with this is that it will fail if you enter the searchterm but don't have that particular searchengine defined, or for example just enter the search term eg. "lua reference manual" (without prepending it with "g "). You just need to be careful I guess, no big deal, each to his own.

While I am posting here anyway:
    - is there a way to cancel loading a page? I tried C-c and looked through binds.lua but couldn't see anything.
    - can we get text zoom as well as page zoom?

Thanks for the really nice open command quigybo.

And I've just added the long overdue webview widget stop method and bound it to Ctrl+c.[0][1]

As for text zooming check out the "full-content-zoom" webview property here.

Re: luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

Dammit, seems it isn't so simple extending this to tabopen as well sad. My plan was to define searchopen as a named function, then use it for both open and tabopen (and winopen), but it isn't that straight forward. From what I can tell two ways of doing it are either to have the w:new_tab method switch the current view to the new tab on creation, or restructure w:websearch to optionally accept a view as its last argument, and then pass that on to w:navigate. What do people think is the best way to go about it? I'm inclined to go with w:new_tab switching the view on tab creation, as I prefer that behaviour. Opinions?

For now I'm doing this, is there a better way?

    cmd({"tabopen",     "t"  },         function (w, a)
                                            w:new_tab()
                                            searchopen(w, a)

I set a personnal stylesheet in the domain properties, but it's very slow to load, in a previous version it was immediatly loaded.
So I change the domain function in webview.lua to the old one.
I don't know what is the "provisionnal" status, maybe there was a reason to do with this status and not "commited".

Alright thanks, I didn't know style-sheet loading times were being affected by this small change. I've changed it back now.

- I don't understand how to add a signal function in mine.lua (I know it's due to a lack of lua knowledge but if accept every clues).

`mine.lua` was a place-holder name for a users custom configuration file. All the functions in the window.init_funcs, window.methods, webview.init_funcs and webview.methods can be overridden by name from another file (loaded after the window.lua and webview.lua files).

For example:

-- In $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/luakit/mine.lua

-- Disable returning to the default mode on navigation.
webview.init_funcs.reset_mode_on_nav = nil 

-- Always open new window requests in new tabs
webview.init_funcs.window_decision = function (view, w)
        view:add_signal("new-window-decision", function (v, link, reason)
            info("New window decision: %s (%s)", link, reason)
            w:new_tab(link)
        end)
    end,

Then add `require "mine"` to your rc.lua.

<a href="http://www.exemple.com/" target="_blank">Exemple</a>

luakit create a new window, is it possible to open the url in a tab ?

Yes, grep for `window.new({ link })` in config/webview.lua and replace that with `w:new_tab(link)` or copy the example above.

I get the same thing, I haven't looked at the cause yet.

Why not make searchopen return the uri to load and then do this:

    cmd({"tabopen",     "t"  },         function (w, a) w:new_tab(searchopen(a)) end),

And then modify the other opening commands accordingly.
