When you restart iceweasel after activating it (I installed it from the
repo, not upstream) it will show an introduction page with links to the
tutorial and the general help. I definitely recommend going through the
tutorial.

I don't know about binding keystrokes to a bookmark, but you can use keywords. Open the properties of a bookmarked item and enter the characters you want to use in the keyword field. Now if you type those characters in the url bar, you will go to that bookmark. If you combine that with a %s instead of a search term in a url, and then keyword searchterm (no quotes) in the url bar will perform that search. For example I have an imdb keyword, so if I type imdb casablanca, it searches imdb for casablanca.

Now if you type those characters in the url bar, you will go to that bookmark. Thanks, that'll be useful, but I anyway pretty much get that behavior by just typing the first few characters into the location bar. With keywords, I suppose that I can make that more efficient, although it's annoying that it'll still require at least four keystrokes: CTRL-L to set the focus to the location bar, a single character keyword such as 'k', and ENTER. If you combine that with a %s instead of a search term in a url, and then keyword searchterm (no quotes) in the url bar will perform that search. For example I have an imdb keyword, so if I type imdb casablanca, it searches imdb for casablanca. I've heard of this before, but never paid much attention to. I really need to start doing this for things like searching for bugs in package 'foo', and so on. /me sets up a bookmark with url=http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=%s and keyword=db Hey! It works! Thanks!

I think that I tried that, did something wrong, and then somehow got it into my head that %s only worked in the query part of url, after the '?'.

A rather convoluted way would be to install Context Menu Extensions (they're in the Debian repositories) -- some of the extensions, such as Custom Scripts, allow shortcut key combinations to be defined. But surely there's a more straightforward way??? -- Regards, Klistvud Certifiable Loonix User #481801 http://bufferoverflow.tiddlyspot.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
