uzbl. A browser that adheres to the unix philosophy.

Call me stupid, but how do I pass keybinds to uzbl? I put this in my $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/uzbl/config/config:

bind i = toggle_insert_mode
bind ,_ = uri %s

But pressing any of the above keybinds just prints the characters into the window title. What am I doing wrong?

Put it in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/uzbl/config and try again.

No change. Besides, the uzbl wiki says the config file should go into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/uzbl/config, which is where I put it.

tcoffeep · 2009-09-14 14:51:53

is there any way to see the version number of uzbl, or has one not been set yet? I just like to know I have the most up-to-date version :>

ZankerH · 2009-09-14 15:07:04

My binds still wont work, even if I run uzbl and define the config file with --config, so it's not a config issue. Any other ideas?

Maybe try with all path like:
/home/user/.config/uzbl/config

Nothing.

Just to clear this up: The defined bindings should work by just pressing the key, no escaping or modkeys?

The way I got my config and scripts to be realized was through a trick I got on the IRC channel. In my .xinitrc :

export XDG_DATA_HOME=/home/lbrandon/.local/share
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/lbrandon/.config

And it worked straight off

Those two variables are already set to their correct values on my install.

$echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
/home/zanker/.config
$echo XDG_DATA_HOME
/home/zanker/.local/share

Also, how do you install flash if uzbl is the only browser you have installed?

edit: I'm an idiot, the answer is obviously pacman -S flashplugin

uzbl --version gives you the commit hash. we have no "version numbers"

Anyone?

bernarcher · 2009-09-14 20:43:11

Only a quick guess: Could it be a parsing problem in your config script. Typo or the like.

I don't really know how uzbl currently handles this type of errors. (Could do some experimentation once I got some spare time.)

ZankerH · 2009-09-14 21:44:54

Oh wow, I've found the problem.

uzbl apparently doesn't like it when you keep your config neatly aligned by using tab in front of the equal signs. You have to use single spaces.

(posted this from uzbl, yay me!)

You have to configure your download_handler to load the cookies from your cookie_handler. There's a example on the wiki.

Hi, do you mind helping me out a bit with this? Im searching the wiki and Im not finding the information youre referring to.

edit: ok, nevermind. I find out that I don't know how to read. There's already a script that does what I want in the wiki.

Hello.
I just upgraded my libwebkit-git libsoup-git and uzbl-experimental-git packages.
And I don't know how use browser many things changed (I see commit's on github) when I prees key I got only a message that the key has been preesed I can't write text .
I tried uzbl-browser uzbl-core (both same situation).

bernarcher · 2009-09-19 18:44:57

I tried uzbl-experimental-git yesterday, but got a bunch of messages about not recognised "bind" commands both for uzbl-browser as for uzbl-core.

No idea whether this a bug or a feature. Has the API been changed recently?

This could have been discussed on the mailing list, but I lag behind reading for several weeks.

Dieter@be · 2009-09-19 19:07:44

don't run the experimental branch if you don't want/don't have time to read up on what it takes to run it.

I read git commit correct and now I uderstand why I can't control my Uzbl browser (Now I have to use other browser and wait for option to be appiled in webkit) .

SpeedVin · 2009-09-20 13:01:31

Ok I readed today comments and i installed python now I can write comments but I have wait to write text .
Dieter@be:You have to add python to depends

Ok so I started styling UZBL. I got to a point that I get a google similar to http://omploader.org/vMmVnYg , which is awesome. the Arch forums looks kinda ok too, but I need to go further, I still get some white areas and such, especially since some sites have custom class names defined. I tried using * {}, but that screws some images. I'm not that good with CSS, so if anyone has like, a complete styling file for uzbl or something, please post. Cheers

Lich · 2009-09-22 18:25:16

Not sure if any of you ladies did this already in a more "mature" manner, but I wrote a simple download script, the example one just didn't do it for me. This uses dmenu and allows you to select a folder to download too, then spawns wget in a terminal. It's hackish, I put it together in 5 minutes, but it works. At the moment it's really simple but as a TODO I have recursive dmenu selection(right now you can only select one top path to save to, no directory recursion)

#!/bin/sh
WGET="wget --user-agent=Firefox"
FOLDER=`ls -l $HOME |grep ^d | awk '{print $8}' | dmenu -nb "#272727" -nf "#C4DF90" -sb "#C4DF90" -sf "#272727"`
URL="$8"
cd "$HOME/$FOLDER"
xterm -title "Download" -e "echo \"Target: $HOME/$FOLDER/\" && echo \"Please wait...\" && $WGET $URL && echo \"Download complete. Press any key to close\" && read"

Nice I will try to have this work with download script bu brisbin33.

Lich · 2009-09-22 18:47:43

Done!

#!/bin/sh
WGET="wget --user-agent=Firefox"
TARGET="$HOME"
while (true); do
SELECTION=`ls -l $TARGET | grep ^d | awk '{print $8}' | dmenu -nb "#272727" -nf "#C4DF90" -sb "#C4DF90" -sf "#272727" -p $TARGET`
if [ -n "$SELECTION" ]; then
    TARGET="$TARGET/$SELECTION"
else break
fi
done
URL="$8"
cd "$TARGET"
xterm -bg "#272727" -fg "#C4DF90" -title "Download" -e "echo \"Target: $TARGET/\" && $WGET $URL && echo \"Download complete. Press any key to close\" && read"

Still a small TODO, has to show the folder selection at all times. To remain set on the current selected folder just hit Escape btw, you exit the dmenu loop, and it starts downloading

[edit] Stupid me, forgot dmenu has a prompt ( -p ). Next!
[edit2] For a "cleaner" version, using curl, so we only get one small but usefull progress bar, replace WGET="wget --user-agent=Firefox" with WGET="curl --progress-bar -O"
