Anyone knows how to clear my history?

Just delete history.db in ~/.local/share/luakit/ You can also delete your cookies in there as well.

Thanks, that worked.

My fonts look different after the webkit upgrade. Some look better while others look ugly as hell, but maybe I'll get used to it.

Edit: Fixed the fonts. If anyone else has ugly fonts, try this in a global css file:

* {
  text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
}

Edit 2: Flashplugin isn't being recognised anywhere except youtube with the new webkit. Tells me to upgrade my flash player.
Edit 3: Fixed the flashplugin problem. All good now.

Is there a way for luakit to always read the last saved session when it opens? It only seems to do that when I do :wq or :x. However if I do :w and then later :q (or if it crashes), I lose everything.

Also, does flashplugin crash not seg fault luakit anymore?

Lastly, I'm still having trouble with the follows script (contains leading zeroes, numbers don't update as I type part of the url). In my ~/.config/luakit/follow.lua, I set sort_labels to false.

Since the lastest changes in follow.lua, the alternative characters hack didn't work anymore, so I tried something.
It works fast enough but it really seems over complicated.

You just have to replace the make_label function in follow.lua with all this:

-- From 3 to 9 characters
charset = "uietsrn"
-- Converts an int to a label, where each digit corresponds to an index of the
-- charset.
function to_label(n)
    local label = ''
    repeat
        local i = n % 10
        label = string.sub(charset, i, i) .. label
        n = n / 10
    until n == 0
    if reverse_labels then
        string.reverse(label)
    end
    return label
end

-- Lists recursively all ints needed, translates them into the corresponding labels and
-- insert them in the table.
function list_labels(start, max, digits, labels)
    if digits == 1 then
        if max-start < #charset then
            top = max
        else
            top = start + #charset - 1
        end
        for i = start, top do
            table.insert(labels, to_label(i))
        end
    else
        local n = digits
        local ceiling = 0 - 10 ^ (n - 1)

        while n > 0 do
            ceiling = ceiling + #charset * 10 ^ (n - 1)
            n = n - 1
        end

        for i = 0, max, 10 ^ (digits - 1) do
            if(i > ceiling or (start+i) > max) then
                break
            end
            list_labels(start+i, max, digits - 1, labels)
        end
    end
end

function make_labels(size)

    -- Find a sufficient label length / int digits
    local digits = 1
    local pow = #charset
    while true do
        if pow >= size then
            break
        else
            pow = pow * (#charset)
            digits = digits + 1
        end
    end

    -- Find the first int given the number of digits (something like 11 or 111)
    local start = 0
    for i = 1, digits do
        start = start + 10 ^ (i - 1)
    end

    --  Find the last int given the size and the charset length ...
    local r = size
    local q = 1
    local d = 1
    local max = start
    pow = pow / #charset
    while true do
        if d == digits then
            max = max + r - 1
            break
        end
        q = math.floor(r / pow)
        r = r % pow
        if q ~= 0 then
            max = max + q * 10 ^ (digits - d)
            d = d + 1
        else
            pow = pow / #charset
        end
    end

    local labels = {}

    -- Fill the table
    list_labels(start, max, digits, labels)
    if sort_labels then
        table.sort(labels)
    end
    return labels
end

You also have to changed the Input bar changed hook, because it sees characters as part of a filter to complete the hint id and not as the hint itself:
Replace this line:

local filter, id = parse_input(text)

with this line:

local id = parse_input(text)

and this one

local ret = w:eval_js(string.format("follow.filter(%q, %q);", filter, id), "(follow.lua)", f)

with:

local ret = w:eval_js(string.format("follow.filter('', %q);", id), "(follow.lua)", f)

It disables the filter stuff, I didn't look much further into that since I don't use it.

Should I put this in the wiki since the wiki's hack is outdated?

Ok, simple solution time. I've commented out the populate_popup function in webview.lua to get luakit working again for arch-people.

I have created a patch that fixes this issue. The problem was that the menu items created by luakit couldn't be destroyed because they weren't realized anymore. So this patch destroys the widgets when the popup is hidden.

Edit2: The menu should be connected to "unrealize" rather than "hide", since connecting to hide makes the items disfunctional.

See my follow-styles branch (http://github.com/karottenreibe/luakit/ … low-styles). That should solve the leading-zeroes issue.

I don't know what you mean by "numbers don't update as I type part of the url".
There is no matching against URLs, only against the text of the matched elements. Also the hint labels are not supposed to update when you type something for two reasons:
a) That's confusing (people who type more quickly might accidentally hit the wrong number)
b) It's not possible to implement this without substantial changes to the codebase

Also see my follow-styles branch. It now features a follow style called `charset' that lets you have that functionality. To use it, insert this somewhere after requiring `follow.lua':

follow.style = follow.styles.charset("uietsrn")

Hello, I am using luakit from community. Some releases ago I could block all cookies except from select sites by using the domain_props table. How can I do this with the soup setup? I have currently soup.set_property("accept-policy", cookie_policy.never) and legacy cookie stuff in domain_props. Thanks.

I do believe this was a side-effect of not having a working cookies system (we do now). The soup "accept-policy" is a global setting so there is no way to reliably control it on a per-domain basis. I did have a proof-of-concept cookie blocking branch which seems to work ok.

If you change the git branch name in the luakit-develop-git PKGBUILD to "cookie-filtering" you can try it out quite easily. Check out this commit for more information.

However I'm still hesitant about merging this in to develop. I don't think the large portion of luakit users need cookie filtering by cookie name and or path. It might be best to leave this on the wiki and merge in a simple domain blocker.

I've been using luakit lately over uzbl and it is nice, but I was wondering if there was a way to emulate one fetaure I miss. In uzbl I had a keybind that would enable java/plugins per page, is there a way to do the same in luakit? I know that you can whitelist domains in globals.lua; but it would be nice to have something along the lines of :set enable-scripts or similar. If this is already a feature and I am just missing it then I apolgise.

Technically, ':lua w:set("enable-scripts", true)' should do it but, when you reload the page to reload the javascript, the settings are re-read from domain_props table (see the domain_properties method in webview.lua).

I'm a very happy luakit user and do love the/a domain-based cookie-blocking-feature. I just tried your branch but unfortunately it currently (842550f) doesn't work as expected: the output on stdout correctly states which cookies are to be blocked and which are to be accepted, but nonetheless all cookies are saved into cookies.db. Could you have a look at this?

Please tell me if you need any more input from my side!

Hello,

there are three things i miss in the otherwise near-perfect luakit. I didn't find any precise information, if those things are known/considered/thought about/etc, so before adding them to the tracker, i ask here.

1. when opening urls with o or t: url-completion from history and bookmarks (including the tags), pretty much like in jumanji. i really really miss this feature.
2. when adding a new bookmark: completion of already used tags when adding bookmarks. would prevent me from adding misspelled, but actually already existing tags to bookmarks.
3. not so important, but really neat if you have a lot of bookmarks: the possibility to custom sort the tags on luakit://bookmarks. of course, my current workaround with leading numbers does its job.

thank you,
rich_o

Hey, it’s me again

I have considerable differences in activating private-browsing mode.

This is my domain_props-table in userconf.lua:

domain_props = { [[
    ["all"] = {
        ["enable-scripts"]          = true,
        ["enable-plugins"]          = true,

        ["enable-private-browsing"] = true,
    }, ]]
}

(though do not even have a dark.css, but anyhow)

If I start browsing and visit ›:history‹ after a few pages, I can see my browsing history alright… There must be something wrong? Even when I visit bbs.archlinux.org, I get these pages lined up in the history.

Best,

        ["enable-private-browsing"] = true,
    }, ]]
}
(though do not even have a dark.css, but anyhow)
If I start browsing and visit ›:history‹ after a few pages, I can see my browsing history alright… There must be something wrong? Even when I visit bbs.archlinux.org, I get these pages lined up in the history.
Best,

Hello,

Does your editor have syntax highlighting? (because you've forgotten to remove the full "--[[" and "]]" which are comment start and end markers in Lua, I should comment this differently as I've seen a few people do this now). This means your domain props table is one big string (becase [[ and ]] are string start and end markers in Lua). Thus your dark.css will not work.

Also "enable-private-browsing" doesn't work on a per-webview basis. It's a global webkit settings option (I need a better way of letting the user know this). So a single `w:get_current():set_property("enable-private-browsing", true)` in a binding or command will do the trick. Also for the moment you'll have to remove all traces of "enable-private-browsing" from the domain props table (to prevent it being re-set false after navigating somewhere).

I'll have a bit more time for luakit this week after I fix my arch install on my macbook (MCP89 chipset AHCI problems).
