The url will now be shown in the statusbar. Showing the title in the statusbar at startup can either be set by adding ShowTitle to the SETTINGS-variable or pressing "tt" or clicking the statusbar with the right mousebutton.

@firecat53
The keys can now be combined with a modifier (Control, Mod[1-5], Button[1-5]). It's not possible to use Shift as a modifier yet.

empthollow · 2010-05-13 01:30:18

Thanks for the feature. I have a question. If you press w and then click a url it opens a new window. Is there a way to open link in a new view in the same window?

portix · 2010-05-13 10:09:07

You can open a link in a new view by entering hintmode via 'F', or choosing "open link in a new window" in the context menu.

portix · 2010-05-13 16:31:29

@empthollow
In the current revision you can also open links in a new view by using the middle mouse button.

portix · 2010-05-17 12:13:12

Some minor changes:
1. Proxyurl is now defined in options.h and can be disabled/enabled while running.
2. Toggle options in all Views.

A quick note, google has pacman up today and I can't play the game in this browser. It works in midori which also uses webkit if that helps at all.

This browser beats the socks off of Surf. Thank you so much for making a browser that doesn't make exiting elinks a pain.

empthollow · 2010-07-02 03:31:12

Your tweaks have been great. Good work. I just rebuilt today and updated libwebkit and cannot view slashdot.org. The browser just crashes.

portix · 2010-07-03 08:57:09

@empthollow: Thanks.
I cannot reproduce the crash on slashdot.org, can you maybe give some more information, e.g. do you have flash installed? Which revision is installed?

empthollow · 2010-07-03 14:48:34

Interestingly enough, when I tried to get the terminal output slashdot did load. It still crashes on slashdot randomly but I think you may have pointed out the problem. Although I am using the flashplugin package I have the openjdk installed because I accidentially formated my partition. I will try jre and post again. I never had the problem on my previous install when I was using jre.
Thanks.

empthollow · 2010-07-04 19:42:43

That was indeed the problem, I removed openjdk and installed jre and no crashes.
On another note, I've noticed that I can't drag the scrollbar to scroll the page on certain web sites. I was wondering if there was a way remove the scrollbar or to toggle it since I don't really need it between the keybindings and mouse scroll. Thanks.

Thank you for reminding me. I don't need the scrollbars either. I made the scrollbars optional: removing "Scrollbars" in the SETTINGS-mask in config.h will disable the scrollbars.

How can you multitab and switch tabs? I like the layout and everything, but I can't figure out tabs. There are tabs right?

portix · 2010-07-05 12:53:32

To get a "normal tabbed layout", you can set LAYOUT to Monocled (or press gM to toggle Monocled). You can switch between tabs by pressing <Tab> (cycles forward) or <Ctrl-Tab> (cycles backwards) or <n-Space> to focus the n-th tab, where n is the number shown in the tabbar. If you only use the Monocled Layout i would recommend to set ZOOM to 1.0.

Google · 2010-07-05 12:57:57

Thanks, the n-space works after I gm it to the background. Is there a way to make this the default layout so I don't have to gm and hide the window?

PS, I know right click and open in a new window works, but when I hit w-o and do an address, it opens in a whole new window instance and not a new tab. can I type an address to open in a new 'tab' ?

PS,

How can I get rid of the scroll bar? I can't find any config file, do I add it to scripts?

In config.h, set LAYOUT to

static const Layout LAYOUT = Monocled;

and recompile the source.

If you press 'O' instead of 'o', the url will be opened in a new Tab, also entering Hintmode with 'F' instead of 'f' will open the link in a new Tab.

Google · 2010-07-05 13:21:51

Thanks, and there are no plans for history or cookies saving?

portix · 2010-07-05 13:59:12

Dwb already support cookies. If you add Cookies to the SETTINGS-mask in config.h, all cookies will be saved. To allow cookies only for certain domains, you can either press gC to allow a cookie for that domain or add domains to ~/.config/dwb/cookies.allow.

If you want to save your History, you can end your Session with ZZ and start dwb using the commandline-option -r.

Google · 2010-07-05 14:23:02

How do I edit config.h? I tried editing the package build but I am quite new to this ~_~

I used the gC command to allow cookies for that domain but it didn't help, and cookies.allow doesn't exist.

Sorry I am new to this, but I am liking the browser so far. If I can fix cookies and history, and fix the tabbing as default this will become my new browser.

sorry, cookies save but not passwords. No hope for passwords?

After you have build dwb for the first time, there should be three files in your build-directory: config.h, options.h and hintoptions.js.
config.h is mainly for keyboard shortcuts and some startup settings.

gC only works, after a webpage tried to set a cookie. You can simply create a cookies.allow file, if it doesn't exist.

Since i never used password-managers or the like, this is not on the top of my todo-list at the moment.

portix · 2010-07-07 00:45:32

Added support for autofllling forms and passwords. The form data can be saved in an encrypted file (i only tested gpg, an example can be found in config.h), since i only tested the websites i usually visit, testers are welcome.

empthollow · 2010-07-08 06:03:13

Thanks for the form feature, I will be using it. I checked a few sites and got some intersting results on a couple of them. I am using the form feature w/o encryption for the time being, although I did setup gpg and it seemed to work fine.

Arch forums works perfectly

www.ubuntuforums.org will fill user, pw, checks the remember me box, and follows the search link on the page. So after filling the form I end up on the search page w/o being logged in.

http://www.qdoba.com/ILoveQdoba/Login.aspx, first the form will not fill if scripts are toggled off, but i can log in manually with scripts toggled off. When scripts are toggled on the form fills user, pw, and then reloads the page displaying only the username w/o logging me in. I have checked the user/pw in the formfiller file and they are correct.

Hope that is useful.

Hi,

i like the idea of a tiling browser, unfortionately I get this when opening most sites (orf.at, arstechnica.com, ...).
bbs.archlinux.org works fine. Seems to be related to OpenJDK. Any ideas?

@empthollow: thanks for reporting, I will try to fix it.
@shuay: this is a webkit and openjdk related issue. Most webkit browsers currently only work with jre.

empthollow · 2010-07-11 05:31:14

I'm trying to isolate a problem I'm having on my desktop with this browser. When I first open dwb everything works fine. After a while it stops recognizing keybindings. It will recognize the mouse clicks though. It will not start working properly again until I restart X. I don't have this problem on my laptop. The keybindings seem to be inhibited in gnome w/ compiz regardless, but it has the described behavior in fluxbox on my desktop. Because of the problems in gnome, I though maybe there was something running to disable it, or override it. I use nautilus with no desktop in fluxbox since it is already installed for gnome. It doesn't seem to affect the keybindings, at least not within a timely manner. Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance.
