Hi all, Epiphany is great browser for the GNOME Desktop, I'd like to thank the developers for their work. I have some questions and comments regarding Epiphany. I'm using version 1.8.2 on Ubuntu Breezy.
Previously I've been using KDE, but I like GNOME more since 2.12. On KDE I used Konqueror. One of Konqueror's features I extremely appreciate are search keywords/shortcuts. Just type wp: <term> or gg: <term> to in the address bar and press enter, and Konqueror will take you to the respectively the Wikipedia or Google search results. You also have the option in Konqueror to change search keywords and add new websites. And it already has useful websites added for this function by default such as Google, Wikipedia, IMDB and Merriam-Webster. I know that Epiphany has the smart bookmarks extension, but they don't work like in Konqueror. In Epiphany I have to type my search term in the address bar and then click the smart bookmark link from the drop down list. The Konqueror method is keyboard only and faster. Is there any extension which implements this Konqueror feature in Epiphany, or is there one in the works? I really miss this feature, it saved me a lot of time. A mayor annoyance is that Epiphany can't display more 7 tabs. If I have more than 7 tabs open I have to scroll. A minor annoyance is the editing of bookmarks. When a right click a bookmark I can't edit it like in Firefox. I have to use the "Edit Bookmarks" option. Another minor annoyance is that Epiphany sometimes freezes for a moment (it never crashed though), this happens when I have a page open in a tab which takes a long time to load, and then switch to another tab. And I'd like to give some advice on the Toolbar Editor. Quite different from other browsers, but it works well, fast and effective. The only problem is that you have to know how it works. It took quite some time before I figured out how it worked, I had to read the help file. Maybe put some text in the Toolbar Editor window explaining that the user has to drag and drop? If someone could point me to an extension which could mimic the Konqueor search shortcuts feature, I would be most grateful. Fix the annoyances I mentioned, and you'll have a killer webbrowser.
