4. How does the quicksearch stuff work? In the dwb FAQ you say that they can be accessed through "<keyword> <searchterm>", but it does not really work for me. Let say I have "g" as google quicksearch. Where do I have to enter "g <searchterm>" to do a google search?
You have to add searchengines and keywords if you want to use this feature, if you want to add google with keyword g, go to google, press 'gs', enter the keyword. The first engine you add will then be your default searchengine, you don't need to enter a keyword for your default searchengine.

Thanks for your fast reply.
I understand how I can add searchengines, but how do I "activate" them, ie search for the searchterm? I simply don't get it

PS: Where does dwb/webkit keep cached files,cookies, etc?
Havewn't found anything under .config or .cache/webkit.

Just press 'o' to open a url. Instead entering a url you can simply enter your searchterm. If your searchterm is a url you must use the keyword of course.
The default behaviour is, that cookies are not stored at all. If you allow all cookies, they are stored in ~/.config/dwb/[profilename]/cookies. If you don't use a profile the profilename is 'default'. If you don't allow all cookies you can also save and allow cookies for a website by pressing 'CC', on most sites you will have to press 'CC' after you logged in for example.

Hehe, thanks. Now I got it ...

I'd kill for a good adblock, it's the only roadblock that prevents me from using dwb as my only main browser

Privoxy does a good job for me. If this isn't enough, try privoxy-blocklist. It's a script to convert adblock lists to work with privoxy.

But please don't kill me now!

Hey,

when I install the recent updates for libsoup (2.36.0-1) and libwebkit (1.6.1-1), dwb becomes intolerably instable. It crashes on every second site… downgrading to libsoup-2.34.3-1 and libwebkit-1.4.3-1 resolves this issue.

Anyone else observing the same behaviour?

portix · 2011-10-07 15:21:53

I guess you are using a proxy, there is a bug in libsoup that causes a segfault on ssl-encrypted sites.

jakob · 2011-10-07 17:43:08

You’re right. When using dwb with proxy disabled and current libsoup and libwebkit packages installed no instabilities occur here.

thx for the hint!

hi there,

When I enter InsertMode in my webmail (roundcube), I can type text, but as soon as I type Enter to go to the next line, I exit Insertmode so that I have to type i to enter InsertMode before typing again.

Writing an email is really difficult, is there any way not to go back to NormalMode after typing enter?

I've tried the script in post #286 (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 01#p948801) but I don't see any difference...

Hey, had the same issue yesterday with dwb-hg pull 621 and it still persists on 637. May it be caused by my sticking to old libsoup and libwebkit?

portix · 2011-10-11 21:13:59

The behaviour in insertmode has changed, pressing return will always activate normalmode, but i'm not sure if i will stick with it, i think i will change it before releasing the next snapshot. There are 2 possibilities to avoid this, you can use an external editor with Control-e, the default is vim in xterm or you can enter pass-through mode with Control-i. In pass-through mode every keypress is ignored by dwb except for Escape.

This script no longer works.

I reverted to the old behaviour with revision 638, changing to normalmode when pressing return really wasn't a good idea.

Yeah just tried setting that to urxvt (which I use as my regular shell) which has transparency enabled.

I very much like to do another typing activity in vim, although I’m no convinced by the look of my setup right now.

What are your ideas about using this? I very much like the idea, but it looks not perfect yet…
here’s a screenshot the terminal is smaller in height than the desktop since it is drawn on my laptop screen and the left desktop is a 19" tft lcd…

What terminals (with or without transparency) do you use?

Jakob

portix · 2011-10-11 22:30:06

I use urxvt without transparency but for vim i use xterm because i haven't found a way to have a different cursor in insertmode and normalmode with vim in urxvt.

Ok, thank you for your answers, I'm going to delete this script...

And thank you for your change! (don't switch to normalmode with enter :-) )

Is it just me, or is anyone else noticing SSL handshake errors on a few sites (they work fine in Firefox/Chromium) (like https://www.alphashirt.com). Is this another gnutls bug? Haven't tried downgrading yet, but I've rebuilt dwb since the gnutls update a couple of days ago.

Thanks,
Scott

Same problem here with luakit.

firecat53 · 2011-10-18 15:06:23

Downgrading libsoup to 2.34.3-1 fixes the issue. Looks like the upgrade happened around October 2nd. I'll have to check the libsoup site and see if there are any bugs filed.

Scott

edit: I filed the bug here

Hi,

When building the stable snapshot on Ubuntu, I receive this warning:

local.c: In function ‘local_show_directory’:
local.c:196:9: warning: format ‘%lu’ expects argument of type ‘long unsigned int’, but argument 4 has type ‘__nlink_t’ [-Wformat]

This is for a 32-bit computer. This doesn't show up when building an amd64 .deb package (according to the pbuilder buildlog on Launchpad).

Also:
The history, bookmarks, quickmarks (along with others) aren't created at all, even after creating bookmarks and visiting sites. The output just says that it cannot open the respective files under .config.

I have fixed all these issues and created a new snapshot. However, only the files that are needed are created, but dwb still warns about missing files but you can ignore these warnings if you don't need these files, i.e. if you don't use quickmarks dwb won't create a quickmark file.

Building GTK3 version directly from your HG repo.

Love the browser, just got a couple of queries.

Flash doesn't seem to be working, I have disabled the plugin blocker.

There seems to be a pink tinting to the scroll bar and buttons.

I can't seem to see the anything in the command box, seems to be white on white.

I guess you are using the 64-bit flashplugin because the 64-bit flashplugin doesn't work with libwebkit3.

Which gtk-theme are you using? I have noticed this issue with Zukitwo but
haven't found out why some themes override the settings that are explicitly set
by dwb, but i will have a look into it.

Yes I am, I will install 32bit flashplugin with ndiswrapper.

Yes I am using Zukitwo, I have changed this and its now fixed... What a very odd bug.

Thanks for your quick reply

Still getting the pink colouring on the buttons, I have changed the gtk-theme to Adwaita now, restarted my WM. Also still getting the white on white with the command box where I am typing.
