qutebrowser - A keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on PyQt5

@Ambrevar I did, but back then you needed

post_install() {
	xdg-icon-resource forceupdate --theme hicolor &> /dev/null
	update-desktop-database -q
}

which needed those dependencies. Nowadays there are pacman hooks for that ;-)

I understand, I was only asking you for confirmation since you know better as the original author

Hello,

Is it possible to bind mouse buttons to different functions through the config.py?

Specifically i would like to bind the middle mouse button to run a bash script on the url of the clicked link.

No, there's no mouse bindings - but there's an issue for it.

Since upgrade to version 1.0, moving around on a web page feels not smooth anymore, as if the frame rate dropped. Even on purge text sites, e.g. blog.fefe.de. I am experiencing that on two machines with different CPU / GPU combinations, both running a current Arch Linux. Downgrading to 0.9 (backend webengine) makes Qutebrowser scroll responsive again. Does anyone else notice a difference?

You're not the first one to notice this, but I can't reproduce it and I'm not 100% certain what causes this. I pushed some (hopefully) improvements for this to the latest master - can you please try with an (updated) qutebrowser-git?

I haven't noticed a change in scrolling, but I did notice qutebrowser's window renders noticeably faster when switching to it (e.g. with wmctrl).

More importantly, config.py is a godsend. Everyone involved did a great job with it. The automatically displayed page explained everything so well, I didn't run into a single obstacle during migration. I love being able to wield Python in my configuration file.

By the way, confirm_quit is a list, right? Perhaps the documentation should mention that.

I'm getting the following error while I am trying to run the latest version from the community repo:

What am I doing wrong?

ewaller · 2017-10-22 15:50:24

Welcome to the Arch Linux forums.

First, is your system fully up to date? Have you performed a pacman -Syu
Second, is extra/python-pyqt5 installed?

Thanks for an answer!

Yes, my system is up to date and extra/python-pyqt5 is installed. Also the versions before 1.0 were working ok.

Hey, I'm wondering if the microphone feature on duolingo.com is functional for anyone else? I never remember being prompted by qutebrowser if I wanted to allow recording audio...not 100% sure on that though. The widget itself does nothing when clicked. I am able to use the microphone on other sites just fine. Just checking if it's a site issue, a webengine issue, or something else.

Thanks!

Do you have content.media_capture set to ask/true? Looking at their troubleshooting page, apparently they require Flash for the microphone, so maybe setting content.plugins to true is all you need.

firecat53 · 2017-10-23 16:52:09

Well I feel dumb now...didn't see their troubleshooting page. Lack of flash is definitely the issue. Sorry for the noise!

Not without more information.

Thanks for the answer. I've found the issue. I've forgotten I enabled the kde-unstable repo as I don't use KDE day to day and it shipped qt version incompatible with the python-pyqt5 package.

Did you also have [testing] enabled? If you do not need kde-unstable, don't use it; if you do use it, use it properly and enable [testing] too.

I didn't at the time. I was using kde-unstable with the testing repo in the past and forgot to remove the lines for both the repos.

Hi,

do Java applets work?

I didn't found anything relevant on Internet, just one commented code.

Thanks.

No - neither QtWebKit nor QtWebEngine supports them, and I doubt that's going to change

Trilby · 2017-10-27 12:28:58

Do java applets still exist?! I ask that only slightly facetiously, I have no doubt their are a few floating about on ancient / abandonned web pages - but they really shouldn't exist anymore.

lahwaacz · 2017-10-27 13:24:47

Well, the entire PES (Portal of Economic Services) we have to use at our university is built with Java, so the only browsers where it actually works are Firefox < 55. And it is neither ancient (it was enforced only 1-2 years ago) or abandoned (they still add more and more crap).

I should have posted in the grrr thread...

rix · 2017-10-28 15:05:58

I agree Trilby, but as Unix Sysadmin I can say that companies make console portals (Ilo and the like) using Java, tho.

ghus · 2017-10-30 20:49:37

Hi, I'm sorry if the problem is already spoked and solved, I didn't find the solution: on all my installations, I can't use the arrows keys to navigate the history, or bookmarks, it does not highlighting anything (only by clicking on, pointing them with the cursor, so using the mouse ).
Did I missing something?
