luakit browser framework (almost with jQuery!)

You can always use privoxy or bfilter.

Barghest · 2010-10-03 12:15:28

Oh, wasn't aware of this. Using privoxy now and it seems to be a no brainer. Start it and be happy

Thanks for the hint, Army.

I'm using this to capture youtube videos and download them to reduce the strain that flash puts on my netbook, but I don't want to remove flash all together. Other browsers have plenty of extensions to either remove youtube's autoplay or disable flash until I click the element to approve it. Is there any such solution to do something like this with luakit?

Berticus · 2010-10-08 22:37:17

hmm.... did an update and now luakit seg faults...

While doing what? What version? Too little information.

All versions of luakit work fine for me, try a fresh checkout of luakit or check your webkit/lua libraries.

Well I would've provided more information if I knew why it crashed. All I know is it keeps doing it, and there's nothing similar about my activities where I could say what causes it. For version, I last updated 7 October 2010, develop branch.

---Edit---
On another note, I've come to realize having split windows (on top of the tabs) would be awesome! Both horizontal splits and vertical splits. Is this possible?

---Edit---
I think it happens sometimes when I close a tab.

Following links still doesn't work properly for me. It works on most sites, but when I enter eg. pcmag.com and press 'f' for a first time numbers are shown, but when I follow some link or press 'esc' and 'f' again numbers are not being showed. I got to restart luakit to get it to work again. In sandbox it works fine though.

Man this is really a sweet project.

I really am enjoying the speed and customization available in luakit. One thing I have not been able to get working correctly yet is downloads from secure sources. This is a must for me. I'd really also like to autoopen PDFs after they are downloaded. Has anyone been able to successfully modify the wget statement in world.lua to take advantage of cookies (is that even the best way to handle this?)

Thanks

quigybo · 2010-10-25 06:57:19

@collards: The download mechanism is currently being reworked, and once finished it will indeed be possible to open files on completion, with user-definable actions per mime-type or file extension. If you are interested in its development I am referring to karottenreibe's "downloads" branch.

In the meantime you can point wget to the cookies file like this (see the function "download" in config/window.lua):

        local wget = string.format("wget --load-cookies $XDG_DATA_HOME/luakit/cookies.txt -q %q -O %q", link, dl)

Wouldn't it be nice to have an alternative html render, other than webkit, but with the same great framework that luakit has? Recently, Mozilla has lunched chromeless, where you can build your own interface, and use the Firefox engine.

I think that project is a great idea, because you can build the interface with HTML, CSS and JS.

Now, how easy would be to do a kind of luafox? I mean, is it possible to do that easily?

Yes. The difficulty is in running lua code on click/change events inside the webview widget used for the GUI. I think this can be solved by using the old `Uzbl.run` code from uzbl and activating it on specific webview widgets (I.e. the webview widgets used for the GUI).

It's not something I'm planning at the moment but I'd be willing to pull in any changes that make this easier (it is a browser framework after all).

tzervo · 2010-10-31 13:21:40

If you want to use gecko/xulrunner, why not use conkeror, which is also highly extensible, featureful, minimalistic and fast? In my opinion, what was missing in the past was a conkeror for webkit and uzbl/jumanji/luakit devs have kindly and succesfully provided that. When I want to use xulrunner I blindly use conkeror

I wanted to mouse-wheel scroll through tabs, so I hacked the t.ebox:add_signal function in window.lua, but apparently the "button-release" event doesn't fire for buttons 4 and 5. Is this a bug?

It's not intentional I just don't know how to catch & emit the button 4 & 5 press/release events.

I get a syntax error with rc.lua, but I can't seem to find it. I've even taken out all of my own customization, and it still says there's a syntax error.

I don't have the same problem, the last release and the develop branch have been stable for a long while.

Could you paste any other information about the error and also check your Lua version.

Army · 2010-11-18 11:35:58

I wanted to give the develop branch a new try, especially because of the implemented tab management. I like it very much so far, but I can't get luakit to use privoxy. I copied the globals.lua to ~/.config/luakit and changed line 9 to http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:8118", but that doesn't do anything. Am I doing something wrong?
And another question, will there be a browsing history with search function?

For the moment globals.http_proxy does nothing, check out the :proxy command, that will solve your woes.

Ah CRAP I actually have to know this, I used that before ... Sorry I just forgot about it

What about the browsing history and search?

Is there a way I can change the height of the tabs and status bar?

milso · 2010-11-28 01:12:36

This is perfect, goes well with awesome wm.

Maybe I overlooked the answer here on the forums (and google), but I was curious about keyboard control of flash objects. Also wondering about middle-click scrolling. I've been able to modify awesome's lua code quite fine, but I'm clueless on how I'd implement something like that here.
