Re: dwb - a webkit web browser

sw2wolf, if you think this is a dwb bug it should probably go to portix's site as suggested in the first post.  If you think it is a build error on the system, it should go to freebsd forums.

It seems to be the latter, as that error indicates the absence of a GCC extension that is not part of ISO C.  But it actually has nothing to do with dwb code - you should get that same error trying to compile anything that uses those X11 macros.

Re: dwb - a webkit web browser

Question: Is it also possible, to remap the escape key to switch from INSERT to NOMAL mode?

Background: Some webapps I am using like Tweetdeck or the IPython Notebook rely intensively on there own usage of the escape key when used with keyboard navigation. This sometimes is very confusing. For example, to leave a cell in IPython Notebook I press escape but it does not only leave the cell of cause but also the INSERT mode. For my next IPython action I than have to push two keys again I for INSERT mode and the IPython key. Sometimes I even forget about being in the NORMAL mode again and delte the whole tab with d because. This is very annoying or at least painfull to handle. In Tweetdeck for example, the keybindings are not even changable so I really rely on changing it on dwb level.

Tasks Performed: Looked at Sk if there is such an option, but there isn't. Looked at manpage but could not find something related, just saying that Esc always changes to NORMAL Mode

Re: dwb - a webkit web browser

But then escape is how you back out of some situations.  It might be better to have insert to change modes.

Re: dwb - a webkit web browser

Hi,
I just registered to tell you that dwb is the best web browser I have ever had and I am very thankful for developing it. I used a lot - vimperator, uzbdl, w3m, luakit. But dwb is the best browser for me. Keep a good job there ( I'm using it for 6 months now). The best thing is that I can play youtube wideos without flash (I had to add -g --prefer-insecure options to youtube-dl so that it could work properly).

The only thing I missed from vimperator are macros - yeah they are really helpful when logging to some webservices (like email) every day, but I can life without it.

You can install 'formfiller' plugin to dwb, it logs you to sites with a single keypress. Type 'dwbem' in your console for further details.

Re: dwb - a webkit web browser

Does anyone have any suggestions on organizing bookmarks? Is there a way to create folders or the like?

Re: dwb - a webkit web browser

I run a small local web server ("darkhttpd" from the Community repository) and create .html files where I list things I want organised my way.  Then add a dwb bookmark (or Quickmark) for the front page provided by the web server (darkhttp does a good job of generating an index page automatically from the files and directories you point it at).

Lynx bookmark files can be accessed this way too.

Another approach is to use the XDG menu system; the package "archlinux-menus" uses this method to provide handy links to Arch-related web pages.

I have been a little disappointed that dwb will open a local file:/// url from the manual 'open' command, but not from a bookmark or quickmark entry.

Re: dwb - a webkit web browser

In the settings (type "Ss") there are two options about local files

- enable-file-access-from-file-uris (Whether file access from file uris is allowed)
- enable-universal-access-from-file-uris (Whether to allow files loaded through file:)

Maybe you have them configured differently?

When playing an html5 video from vimeo.com the playback stops after 20 seconds. If I switch cache-model from webbrowser to documentviewer then it stops after 30 seconds. Where should I start to solve the problem?

Re: dwb - a webkit web browser

I have problems with dwb's encoding of special chars when visiting pages like these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_Shapes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters

Though I also tried setting dwb's encoding manually to utf-8, lots of the special unicode chars aren't displayed, whereas in Firefox, terminal, file manager etc. everything works fine; my whole system is on UTF-8, `locale` confirms that.

Any ideas?

Re: dwb - a webkit web browser

The html5 video crashing problem got finally fixed! The culprit was cairo.

Get the proposed patch from this bugreport. Save it as cairo_webkit.patch. And compile cairo-git with the following PKGBUILD (I've only added the patch):

# Contributor: dx <dx@dxzone.com.ar>
# Maintainer: Stefan Husmann <stefan-husmann@t-online.de>
pkgname=cairo-git
pkgver=1.12.16.164.g13a0952

sha1sums=('SKIP'
          '8b843a9934e5112b6188e5bcf4adfc1fdaf9fa04'
          'SKIP')
_gitname='cairo'

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"
  git describe --always | sed 's|-|.|g'
}

prepare() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${_gitname}"
  patch -Np1 -i "$srcdir/cairo-1.10.0-buggy_gradients.patch"
  patch -Np1 --ignore-whitespace -i "$srcdir/cairo_webkit.patch"
}

build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${_gitname}"
  ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --localstatedir=/var --enable-xcb --disable-static
  make
}

package(){
  cd "${srcdir}"/${_gitname}
  make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
}

Tested it for about 5 videos and haven't had a segfault yet.

Fill in the form, escape from insert mode to normal mode. key efg to get the form details and your input recorded, respond yes or no to the 'autosubmit' prompt.

Next time you go to that URL, in normal mode key eff to insert whatever you typed before into whichever fields you completed.

I wanted tags anyway so I developed this: https://github.com/dummyano/Booktag

since it can be run from cli to add bookmark I bind it to "bt"

% cat .config/dwb/userscripts/booktag.sh                                                                                                       :(
#!/bin/bash
# dwb: bt
booktag $DWB_URI && \
notify-send -u low "Booktag saved $DWB_URI" #optional notification

I've had no time to search, but it would be perfect if one could pass some tags before saving,
booktag already accept that, it's just I don't know how to do it from dwb

Thank you so much. I've been digging everywhere for a solution. I used cairo-git and it works (- without recompiling works, dwb-git won't compile against it tough -).

Glad if you'll find it useful, you'll need node-webkit for it to run, I'll have to update the readme on github.
IT's not much ATM, but I'm using it daily and so far so good.

I found a way to pass it tags from within dwb, e.g. you can now do

:booktag tag1,tag2

and you'll end up with http://yoururl  tag1,tag2

still looking to do it like dwb does with named sessions
