Keywords in a nutshell: I type "wp Epiphany" and my browser goes to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany
The feature request was raised recently (and doubtless previously): http://mail.gnome.org/archives/epiphany-list/2005-November/msg00021.html which pointed to a bug report with patch: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118618 First of all - what is the "right way to do it"? In particular, which signal should be caught to do the address re-write? The above patch hooks into the "resolve-address" signal. Alternatively, the sample-python-location tutorial extension (which listens to the "ge-location" signal) seems really easy to tweak into the proof of concept one-pager at the bottom of this e-mail. Second - what plans do the Epiphany devs have (if any) of "blessing" this feature (as part of epiphany-extensions, presumably)? Because I am hoping to provide it through the deskbar-applet, even if the preferred browser is Epiphany rather than Firefox (boo, hiss :-). So, what would make this part of Epiphany 1.10? How can I help (I'd be willing to do some coding/writing)? Or will I otherwise have to install an Epiphany extension as part of deskbar-applet, and mess with bookmark storage (which is itself another discussion)? thanks, Nigel. ------------------------- import epiphany; keywords = { 'wp':'http://www.wikipedia.org', 'wp ':'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%s' } def location_cb(embed, address, tab): if address.startswith('keyword:'): k = address[8:].strip() i = k.find('%20') if i != -1: key = k[:i] + ' ' args = k[i+3:] try: embed.load_url(keywords[key] % args) except KeyError, TypeError: # either key was not in the map # keywords, or # the URL did not have a '%s' in it pass else: try: embed.load_url(keywords[k]) except KeyError: # k was not in the map keywords pass def attach_tab(window, tab): embed = tab.get_embed() sig = embed.connect('ge-location', location_cb, tab) embed._python_sample_location_sig = sig def detach_tab(window, tab): embed = tab.get_embed() sig = embed._python_sample_location_sig del embed._python_sample_location_sig embed.disconnect(sig) _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
