how did you come up with that word? In Dutch (my language) we use 'dank' for 'thanks', so it's weird to see this coming from someone from the US.

uzbl-tabbed
when I load from bookmarks, sometimes the page opens but nothing works cant follow or click on anything.
anyone else have this happen?

nvrmind...
I used shift+B instead of manual edit of the bookmarks file which I must have done wrong.
works fine.

Last night i found that tryin' to retrieve any bookmark on uzbl-browser (pressing "u") freezes the X session in my machine too; i needed to kill the X from tty1.

I was running JWM, but this problem doesn't happen in IceWM, so i'm using this other window manager right now.

I found uzbl-browser very useful. I like it a lot, nice app.

it was just the browser that froze. never had it freeze an xsession.
i cleared the file then used the browser to save the pages I use often. so far all is well. so im going w/user=me error

renuvio · 2010-02-20 02:43:23

Ok, my bad, so there's a different scenario here.

Just for the record, i found that bookmarks retrieval works fine in TWM too, maybe i should go very oldskool...

aeosynth · 2010-02-20 03:24:00

I've had X freeze when loading bookmarks, too. I'm using Awseome, if that matters.

JohannesSM64 · 2010-02-20 11:30:53

Liking uzbl a lot so far. Using uzbl-tabbed. Only thing I've changed so far is the binds to be more Vim(perator)-like. Here's my config in case anyone wants. One thing I'm missing is jump-to-and-focus-input-field-and-go-into-insert-mode (gi in Vimperator). Is there any way to do it that works with the newest repo uzbl? The info I found was outdated.

Yeah I had the same problem too, with load_url_from_bookmarks.sh as well as load_url_from_history.sh

As a temporary workaround I have changed the last line in these scripts. It's working but it's just opening the uri in a new browser window. Don't know the behaviour of the original script as I just started working with it this morning.

[ -n "$goto" ] && echo "uri $goto" > $5

to

[ -n "$goto" ] && /usr/bin/uzbl-browser $goto

Next to that, I can't add a custom web searching bind.
Only the existing ones (Google, Wikipedia and Archwiki) are working, but if I try to add one, I never get the option to type a string in the search bar.

You are probably missing the "_" component of the bind definition which tells the bind plugin that you wish to supply an argument with the command.

Can't believe I overlooked it. You must have had the same experience

Well, ... I wrote the bind plugin

The wiki's dead? http://www.uzbl.org/wiki - File not found.

Also, how do I change the mouse-wheel scroll rate? Scrolling one line at a time is not fun....

renuvio · 2010-02-24 19:35:16

I found that the X freezes problem in JWM tryin' to retrieve a bookmark pressing 'u' dissapear after commenting a line an uncommenting another one in load_url_from_bookmarks.sh.

The last two lines look now like this:

[ -n "$goto" ] && echo "uri $goto" > $4
#[ -n "$goto" ] && echo "uri $goto" | socat - unix-connect:$5

This works right to solve that problem.

So i can use uzbl-browser in JWM in a proper way, and i'm using it as my everyday web browser.

Hi, i have been using uzbl for a wile now and i have some questions to ask, i just want some scripts to work, the one that can handle userscripts and the one that works like the Stylish extension for Firefox, the last one is the adblocking one. Shall i post my config?
Thanks.

quickfished · 2010-02-26 04:01:12

I'm really impressed with it and I just considered that I have been using it as my main browser for a couple of days now. I really like how it's designed. I've seen a post on reddit with basically a lot of people mocking the whole idea before they even tried it, but I'm convinced every Linux veteran will totally appreciate this. I know I do, and I'm not even a veteran

Does it work on the N900?
I really wish I had an Arch phone.

bharani · 2010-02-26 06:38:57

I tried it yesterday and i really like it.Thank you devs.

Can anyone tell me how to make uzbl-tabbed to open links in new tab using middle click or using context-menu.

@bind  <Button2>  = sh 'if [ "\@SELECTED_URI" ]; then echo "event NEW_TAB \@SELECTED_URI" > $4; fi'

It's basically a combination of these two binds:

#@bind  <Button2>  = sh 'if [ "\@SELECTED_URI" ]; then uzbl-browser -u "\@SELECTED_URI"; else echo "uri $(xclip -o)" > $4; fi'
#@cbind  gp              = sh 'echo "event NEW_TAB `xclip -selection primary -o`" > $4'

Does anyone else think it's retarded that in the default config, middle-click opens up links in new windows instead of new tabs? In every other browser I've used, shift+click opens new windows, middle-click opens new tabs.

Middle-click > new window was first proposed in this post, so it was probably implemented pretty early, and then everyone got used to it, and no one complained because there was no tab support, but now that tabs are officially supported the default config should change....

Great, that's really useful.
Next, I've been trying to figure out a way to do open a new tab with a middle-click, but then without the new tab being selected. Sometimes I like to open a bunch of tabs without leaving the orginal page from which I was to open more tabs. (Yeah, I'm difficult )
Any ideas?

milomouse · 2010-03-02 08:11:29

Been messing with uzbl again (from experimental branch, if that matters). I think I'm almost ready to replace firefox{-nightly}. So far I've only made a few scripts but most of them integrate ratpoison (window-manager) since it's all I use. Same with my config, so I thought I'd share the [very basic] stuff I've done in case anyone else uses ratpoison too. config & scripts so far . Everything's pretty raw and quickly whipped together so.. if you use anything, use it at your own discretion. By no means are these the prettiest or most efficient scripts out there.

I've still got some stuff in the works (hopefully a RequestPolicy, SSL/TLS verifier (maybe use curl), and ask-cookie-per-domain (like firefox uses when you choose "ask-everytime")). Anyone have know if there are scripts like these yet? Anyway, I think I saw an "ad-block" and "no-script" script somewhere I'll have to check out if I recall correctly. I still have to make some "uri" scripts and modify the session script, and probably make a different exit command to check if it's the last instance open. I dunno, just messing around.

As far as questions, the only one I have right now is if I'm able to make the statusbar a certain height? I know it's really basic but as of right now I don't have anything in there and it's still about 8 pixels or so high (120dpi). I basically leave it visible just to toggle background colors depending on if I'm in Cmd, Ins or stack mode. Once I figure out the SSL/TLS (etc) scripts I'll probably have them in there too.. but right now I only want to see a thin bar of color and currently it's not thin enough for me. Other than that, I think I need to read the mailing list (it's been piling up from last time I checked my mail) but has the issue with Scroll-percentage been fixed yet?

Edit: Also, is there a way to expand on a bind... like @cbind go* = spawn @scripts_dir/jump... (I know this wont work for what I'm asking, just saying.) Say, I'm trying to make a "go[1-9,0]" jump command, like vimperator. If I type go1, it will go to url1 defined in a separate file. If I type go2 it will go to url2 from same file. Basically go* 1-9 and 0 (10) on the keypad. How can I expand on "go"? Do I have to do "jump -1, jump -2" and define $1 in the script? I know how to do that but it's ugly cause then I have 10 different binds in my config. go1 = script --go1 , go2 = script --go2..
