[elinks-users] left-arrow as quit?
Is it possible to make elinks interpret a left arrow key as a quit command when navigation has reached the beginning of the history list? Here's why I ask: the mutt email client (and most of the rss readers I've tried) can be configured to invoke elinks to open urls found in an email or rss feed. What's more, these tools also use the elinks-style right and left keys to move forward and backwards through the changing views. But this pleasant continuity comes to an abrupt halt when I've drilled down into elinks and then want to make my way back into whatever tool it was that I using before it was invoked. Left arrow gets me back to the first url I visited, but no farther. I have to switch gears and type 'q' or 'Q' in order to quit elinks. Not only are these keys on the opposite side of my keyboard from the arrow keys -- which I admit is only a mild annoyance -- but I must also become consciously aware that I've reached a point where I must quit. I.e., the elinks program has asserted itself and forced me to switch my attention to it and away from what could have been a seemless meandering through the information that I am actually interested in. Please tell me if it's possible to make elinks get out of the way as all good tools do. If it isn't possible yet, where do I make the feature request? ___ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users

Report it as a bug at bugzilla.elinks.cz. Here is the patch against 0.13.GIT. You need to bind Left as the key for move-history-back-or-quit. You could attach that patch to the bug report, too. -- Witek Thanks for the speedy response! I'll apply the patch and put the feature request in the bug database. -- Charlie ___ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users

[elinks-users] blinking 256-color mode
I recently tried switching to 256-color mode and encountered a problem I don't know how to troubleshoot. When I set the terminal options to 256-color, everything on the screen starts blinking! I'm using iTerm 0.9.6.1201 on OS X Leopard (10.5.6) and have the terminal emulation set as xterm-color. The cursor is set to block mode with blinking, but changing this doesn't affect the problem I'm seeing with elinks. I've also tried using OS X's terminal.app instead. No joy. Here's the info from the elinks Help/About screen, showing version number and features enabled: ELinks 0.11.4rc1 Built on Feb 20 2009 10:57:10 Text WWW browser Features: Standard, Fastmem, IPv6, gzip, bzip2, No mouse, Periodic Saving, Timer, Cascading Style Sheets, Protocol (File, FTP, Gopher, HTTP, URI rewrite, User protocols), SSL (OpenSSL), MIME (Option system, Mailcap, Mimetypes files), LED indicators, Bookmarks, Cookies, Form History, Global History, Scripting (Lua), Goto URL History, Search History (It's not reflected here, but I did enable 256-colors in the config file used to build elinks.) Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there a fix/workaround? Which variables, if any, in my elinks.conf file are likely to be causing the problem? Anything else I should look at or try? ___ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users

Correction: the terminal emulation is set to xterm-256color, and this is the value returned by echo $TERM. ___ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users

I'm using iTerm 0.9.6.1201 on OS X Leopard (10.5.6) and have the terminal emulation set as xterm-color. iTerm apparently requires that the command to choose one color out of 256 is the only thing in the SGR control sequence. Try this untested patch to iTerm. I applied this patch to iTerm. I haven't yet done any exhaustive tests to see if it causes problems elsewhere, but I can confirm that it fixes the problem with blinking in elinks when terminal options are set to 256 colors. I've tweaked many of the UI color settings, using hex rgb values, and everything seems to work as expected.

I'm a big fan and estusiasic user... all the way from Argentina. I agree that this would be sad news indeed, since there is no other textmode browser that matches elinks in its feature set. But even if it really is dead, we can continue using elinks. Dead simply means that there won't be any more work done to add features or fix bugs. Still, I'm hoping this is nothing more than a rumor. ___ elinks-users mailing list elinks-users@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/elinks-users
