I want to split up page-modes, and remove the restriction of "there can be only one". Instead of each existing "monolithic" page-mode, there would be a group of additive modes, each of which is responsible for one feature. In emacs terminology, page-modes will be more like a collection of minor-modes than like a major-mode. In mozilla terminology, page-modes will be more like greasemonkey scripts. Some of these modes will provide keymaps, but there will be nothing special about those keymaps.. they would just be optional keymaps as could be installed by any module. The last piece of the puzzle will be providing a UI by which the user can interactively toggle optional keymaps, though I'm not sure exactly what form that UI will take at the moment. -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
