Oh I see! yes it's awesome stuff! well if anyone know how to make transmission open "magnet:" links do tell

Now that I'm sharing stuff, here's how I load torrents and magnet links into transmissiond. I use transmission-remote-cli from the AUR to do this.
The following code pieces need to go into the ~/.config/luakit/rc.lua

-- torrent hook
webview.init_funcs.torrent_hook = function (view, w)
    view:add_signal("navigation-request", function (v, uri)
        if string.find(uri, "%.torrent$") then
            luakit.spawn(string.format("transmission-remote-cli %q", uri))
            return false
        end 
    end)
end

This _HAS_ to be before require "downloads"!

-- magnet: hook
webview.init_funcs.magnet_hook = function (view, w)
    view:add_signal("navigation-request", function (v, uri)
        if string.match(uri, "^magnet:") then
            local cmd = string.format("%s %q", "transmission-remote-cli", uri)
            luakit.spawn(cmd)
            return false
        end
    end)
end

This can go on the bottom of the rc.lua

Dude that quote is old No I didn't implement this, because it doesn't make sense anymore (my internet is too slow for youtube). But I know how it can be done, although it's not perfect.
webview.init_funcs.youtube_hook = function (view, w)
    view:add_signal("navigation-request", function (v, uri)
        if string.find(uri, "youtube%.com/watch") then
            luakit.spawn(string.format("youtube-viewer %q", uri))
            return false
        end 
    end)
end
Put this into the ~/.config/luakit/rc.lua, somewhere after the last "require" line (require "go_up").

Sweet! Just tested it and it works great!

I added this to my rc.lua but after a while (or if I open a new tab, etc) it stops private browsing

require "binds"
local add_cmds = add_cmds
local cmd = lousy.bind.cmd
add_cmds({
    cmd("nopriv[ate]", function (w)
            w:get_current():set_property("enable-private-browsing", false)
            w:notify("Non-private browsing.")
     end),
    cmd("priv[ate]", function (w)
            w:get_current():set_property("enable-private-browsing", true)
            w:notify("Private browsing.")
     end),
})

my domain_props are empty (block quote)

domain_props = { --[[
    ["all"] = {
        ["enable-scripts"]          = false,
        ["enable-plugins"]          = false,
        ["enable-private-browsing"] = false,
        ["user-stylesheet-uri"]     = "",
    },
    ["youtube.com"] = {
        ["enable-scripts"] = true,
        ["enable-plugins"] = true,
    },
    ["bbs.archlinux.org"] = {
        ["user-stylesheet-uri"]     = "file://" .. luakit.data_dir .. "/styles/dark.css",
        ["enable-private-browsing"] = true,
    }, ]]
}

any idea how to fix this?

also, I have a separate issue, where if I go to 'www.google.com/ig', when the page first loads it asks me to save a file 'talk_xpc_blank.html' - any ideas on this one?

edit: the latter problem (with iGoogle) seems to be with Privoxy and not an issue with LUAKit (when I disabled Privoxy, I didn't get the popup to download the file anymore)

Yeah privoxy can cause such things, that's why I got rid of it. Although I have to say that the current version is a lot better and it doesn't cause those problems anymore here. Are you sure that you use the latest version of privoxy?

HiImTye · 2012-05-09 15:59:14

tye@T:~$ apt-cache policy privoxy
privoxy:
  Installed: 3.0.19-1~ppa1~oneiric1

that's the version I'm using, from the Ubun-tor repository
I'm also using an AdBlock compatible script that I put here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1974461 - it needs some work but I'll get to it later

Army · 2012-05-09 16:38:41

That's the most recent version, yes. After thinking about it a bit more, could it be that you configured privoxy to be very ... strict? (I don't know a better word at the moment). Maybe you should check your settings and include exceptions in your user.local file for webpages which cause problems.

myle · 2012-05-10 09:27:20

I am a little bit confused about what I should use in order to obtain the functionality of adblock.
Google returned:
https://bitbucket.org/cf8/dotfiles/src/ … dblock.lua

but here I have read other suggestions. Any conclusion?

Army · 2012-05-10 16:29:18

Just try it, if it works, keep it, because the easylist filterlists are very good!

nXqd · 2012-05-11 20:35:54

I just retry using luakit today, but I find that the way luakit generate numbers is not effective compared to vimium ( chrome extension ). Is there any way we can generate characters instead of number and I notice with vimium some characters stay the same with same function ( like S is always for the homepage link )

thanks

Army · 2012-05-11 21:33:11

You can configure this in the rc.lua. There's a commented line in it which shows how it can be done.

sinplomo · 2012-05-12 04:49:49

I have a problem browsing some websites, and I cant figure why this is hapenning, I think that its something related to webkit...

For example this is how this website its supossed to look (using chromium, webkit too) :

http://i46.tinypic.com/kf2r6s.png

And this is how its looks in luakit:

http://i46.tinypic.com/29aure1.png

Any ideas?

moderator edit: Hi sinplomo, the images are too large and I have replaced them with links. Please read Forum Etiquette: Pasting Pictures and Code. Thanks. --fsckd

I think this is webkit related: I tried your example in luakit, midori and dwb and they all gave me the same result. Chromium is using some custom webkit I think.

I completely whitelisted iGoogle and no change, it's strange

any thoughts on the other problem, regarding private browsing?

I switched to firefox/pentadactyl a while back because follow mode was too slow in luakit. Yesterday, I gave luakit-git another try and guess what? Everything’s fine. Weeee!

“Thank you” to whoever fixed this.

ObliviousGmn · 2012-05-16 20:31:53

Has anyone else been experiencing this? Some images on not all. Get distorted.
Assuming is probably the webkit?

Turns it out it was Cairo.. Had to downgrade.

– edit: This no longer works in current luakit.

I don’t know if something like this has been posted before. Thought I’d might share it anyway.

On a german keyboard, the home row reads as: “a, s, d, f” on the left side and “j, k, l, ö” on the right side. In Firefox/Pentadactyl, I was able to use that “ö” (UTF-8!) in follow-mode-labels. In Luakit, that’s not possible because Lua isn’t really aware of UTF-8. Hence, we need a little workaround.

The following code is roughly equivalent to using “follow.style = s.upper(s.sort(s.charset("asdfjklö")))” (which, of course, wouldn’t work because of the “ö”).

-- Create follow labels containing utf8 characters.
-- Basic idea: The charset is stored in a table rather than a string. This
-- allows to iterate over each character (lua can't do this on its own becuase
-- it's not utf8 aware).
local followcharset = { "a", "s", "d", "f",  "j", "k", "l", "ö" }

-- Copied from follow.lua.
local function max_hint_len(size, base)
    local floor, len = math.floor, 0
    while size > 0 do size, len = floor(size / base), len + 1 end
    return len
end

-- string.upper() plus some special german utf8 characters.
local function germanupper(t)
    local t = string.upper(t)
    t = string.gsub(t, "ö", "Ö")
    t = string.gsub(t, "ä", "Ä")
    t = string.gsub(t, "ü", "Ü")
    return t
end

follow.style = {
    make_labels = function (size)
        -- Basic follow.charset(), but read characters from our table.
        local base = #followcharset
        local digits = max_hint_len(size, base)
        local labels, blanks = {}, {}
        for n = 1, digits do
            table.insert(blanks, followcharset[1])
        end
        for n = 1, size do
            local t, d = {}
            repeat
                d, n = (n % base) + 1, math.floor(n / base)
                table.insert(t, 1, followcharset[d])
            until n == 0
            table.insert(labels, table.concat(blanks, "", #t + 1) .. table.concat(t, ""))
        end

        -- sort(). May not be 100% accurate but it's better than nothing.
        table.sort(labels)

        -- Run upper() on all labels.
        for i, l in ipairs(labels) do
            labels[i] = germanupper(l)
        end

        return labels
    end,

    parse_input = function (text)
        -- Run upper() on user input.
        return "", germanupper(text)
    end
}

Include this somewhere below “require "follow"”.

so I didn't fix the problem (being prompted to download a file every time iGoogle loads) but I found a workaround of going to http://www.google.com/ig/settings and then in the top options, after the 'Chat' header selecting the 'Hide Chat' bullet

also, to add luakit as your default browser, open $HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and add the following lines after [Added Associations] (I just copied the firefox ones and subbed in luakit where firefox was)
LUAKit MIME GVim
make sure that there's an 'luakit.desktop' in any of the '/share/applications/' folders

find /usr/share/applications/ /usr/local/share/applications/ $HOME/.local/share/applications/ -type f 2>/dev/null | grep luakit.desktop

then just set it using whatever front end you use (in Gnome-Shell it's in 'System Info')

I'm sorry if it has already been asked, but I can't find a thread search function on this forum.

Just switched to luakit, and I realy like it so far, but I can't find how to start a selection ?
yy copy the uri, yt the title, but how do I select some text on the page ?
(Ofcourse without the mouse)

Another question, It seems like the hint mode don't detect the 'Javascript' links, you know, all the links just here to show a menu or things like that.
Is there some special thing to do to select them ? Be forced to tab a hundred time to get the link is not realy useable.

Thanks

korkadapa · 2012-05-28 20:46:05

I'm sorry if these questions have been asked before, but I couldn't find anything.

I'm wondering if it's possible to bind "Follow Hints" to something else than f and F? I can't seem to find it in bind.lua?

Also, if I select an input field with "Follow Hints", the browser goes into "Input Mode" but the input field doesn't seem to be in focus. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks

bootleg · 2012-05-28 23:00:26

Default follow hints bindings are in '/usr/share/luakit/lib/follow/binds.lua'. You can add your own bindings in your regular binds.lua.

To focus input fields consider using the 'go_input' lib ('gi' by default).

Hey guys, anyone has problem when browsing travian site ( text game ). If anyone plays it here, enter http://ts8.travian.com/karte.php. I can't move the map by dragndrop

PS: I experience another error when surfering facebook message section. It doesn't display right and it keeps scrolling, I can't read the messages. Anyone has the same problem ?

Hi, I hadn't seen a reference to it on google, is anyone else having a problem with form control rendering in luakit and actually in the other 'vu' micro browsers like jumanji, dwb etc? My controls all render black with a large square border and it makes some controls very hard to use or it covers up adjacent text. I have a dark theme based on Aurora-Midnight slightly manipulated with lxappearance, I also for KDE apps have the system-settings widget rendering set to gtk+. Does anyone know if there is something just not set right, is everyone else experiencing this?

thanks in advance for any help.

thanks for the post and I had to find a site to shove my image on, here is a portion of my gmail settings page, I appreciate any help this is annoying but all of the 'vi' style browsers do this on my box. Luakit, Jumanji, DWB, xxxterm etc.
