Hi all,
I just installed conkeror .29 after not using it for a while and was
pleasantly surprised that the -remote options are now functioning.
This was probably the major blocker for me to switch over from regular
firefox.
I was looking for a list-buffers command and noticed that there was a
simple function provided, currently unbound. I thought I'd try
extending it a bit to allow selecting a buffer, so did a bit of
cuttypaste from the existing list_buffers and plonked the following
into my .conkerorrc:
---------8<-----------
function my_list_all_buffers()
{
var doc = _content.content.document;
var browsers = getBrowser().mBrowsers;
var title;
var spec;
doc.write("<H1>Buffer List</H1><HR>");
doc.write("<TABLE>");
doc.write("<TR><TH>Title</TH><TH>URL</TH></TR>");
for (var i=0;i<browsers.length; i++) {
title = browsers[i].contentTitle || "*untitled*";
spec = browsers[i].webNavigation.currentURI.spec;
// rather than browser_next we'll eventually call switch-to-buffer
doc.write("<TR><TD>" + title + "</TD><TD><A
onclick=\"browser_next();return false;\" href=\"" + spec + "\">" + spec +
"</A></TD></TR>");
}
doc.write("</TABLE>");
}
function my_list_buffers()
{
getWebNavigation().loadURI("about:blank", nsIWebNavigation.LOAD_FLAGS_NONE,
null, null, null);
// There should be a better way, but I don't know what it is. [comment from
original list_buffers]
setTimeout(my_list_all_buffers,0);
}
add_command("my-list-buffers", my_list_buffers, []);
define_key(ctrlx_kmap, make_key("b", MOD_CTRL), "my-list-buffers");
---------8<-----------
When I give it a try there are the following problems:
* When the command runs, the pointer stays as an hourglass (this
happens with the original list-buffers too).
* The browser_next function I've currently plugged in doesn't get
called. If I use a javascript alert that works fine. I assume this
means the conkeror javascript functions are not visible via this
document writing mechanism. How do I make them available?
As you can guess, I've not done javascript before, so hopefully
someone can point out the (probably trivial) error of my ways.
I've also noticed as a general conkeror bug that switching buffers
doesn't update the window title.
And a question: Is it currently possible to open a link in a
new buffer without also switching to it? (The equivalent of middle
clicking a firefox link and having it load in a new tab in the
background).
Cheers,
Len.
