I apologize if this has been asked before. I tried to search for the answer and couldn't find it.

My question is, is there be a way to bind keys to emacs-style editing commands, such as Ctl-a and Ctl-e for moving the cursor to the beginning and the end of a line, respectively, while in insert mode?

I'm talking about binding keys to emacs-style text editing commands for editing text in text entry fields in webpages. I gave moving the cursor to the beginning or end of a line as two examples of many such possibilities.

Yes! By changing the status_background variable in your uzbl config file like this:

set status_background = #440077

Proof read your config file. You got one 'i' too many.

I have a very small patch to the uzbl master branch to make uzbl_tabbed.py work again. In the experimental branch it seems to have been majorly reworked, I didn't dig into that one. this patch just makes the python script for a tabbed uzbl work again.
at the moment it crashes because "self" is not defined or something like this.

I get the impression that there's a plan for dealing with the cookie-handling performance problem, but I haven't seen any specifics on this plan. Got anything to share about it?

the code for the solution is already there (have a socket "daemon" script and communicate with it through socket). the code basically just needs to be finetuned and merged in

This problem was identified weeks ago and since then uzbl_tabbed.py has gone under massive changes fixing a lot of those bugs and more.

Check out the wiki page for more information: http://www.uzbl.org/wiki/uzbl_tabbed or just wget the latest version:

You can read about my lightning fast python cookie daemon here: http://www.uzbl.org/wiki/cookie_daemon.py (brand new wiki-page, expect to find some typos ).

if it's so good, why is it not in the mainline?

I released a new version today with the talk_to_socket functionality enabled, but no socket-based sample cooke handler yet..

So far i really like the browser , it works fine with XMonad and tabbed layout. And does almost everything i want. So i didn't want to dig in the C, and started working on some scripts:
- Download manager - i created one that is based on dget.sh but uses the main bar and not the extra dzen2 bar. This works fine for one download but multiple downloads fill the bar. So i am looking for a nice solution :
- external bar/window ( wouldnt be usefull for tiling wm users
- seperate uzbl window with some html code
- just fill the main bar ( my monitor is 23" so i dont care )

But i am undecided what to choose / what is the best way to do it, if you have an opion or idea just mail/reply.

Next in line i made a session restore option that works with multiple uzbl windows open and just writes the url's in a txt file , and reads them if you start the script. AFter reading the README this script could get some adjustemts /modification.

And then i might want to work on the further implementation of the history.sh script. I was thinking of making a viewer in gtk/zenity/uzbl window or try to make the vimperator bar wich pops op if you hit tab after some keywords ( the last idea might be a bit too hard for me )

all my scripts are on github .

Hello guys,

I am discovering uzbl and it kicks ass! On my PC I use dark background almost everywhere (xterm, emacs, etc.) So at the moment the shiny white of the web pages is pain for the eye

Has anyone managed to force user stylesheet?

I set the option has mentionned in the README, and I use the css found in the example folder however that doesn't change anything.

Any tip welcome

For information:

Option in uzbl config file point to my css file

set stylesheet_uri = /home/strom/.uzbl/style.css

CSS

uzbl_highlight {
    background-color: orange;
}
uzbl_h_first {
    background-color: green;
}

uzbl_follow {
    border-style: dotted;
    border-width: thin;
}

#uzbl_hint > div {
    display:                        inline;
    border:                         2px solid green;
    background-color:               blue;
    color:                          red;
    font-size:                      9px;

You might want to add !important before the semicolon for each instruction; that will make it override whatever is defined in a web page's CSS.

But yeah, I'm with you, I just need to find a decent global Zenburn CSS and I'm all set.

Vintendo · 2009-08-14 10:30:33

I have tried Uzbl a couple of times but it was still to "alpha" to use day-to-day for me. Until now, it works completely fine, cookies are handled nicely, I understand the config file ( ) and I use it now on a day to day basis.

And I made a script for it. It's amazing how easy it is to do. The thing I missed most from firefox were keywords. So that you only have to type arch to go to the arch forums. The -k switch in the add bookmark line from vimperator. You can find it here: http://www.uzbl.org/wiki/keyword-bookmarks

Arch Linux
