I can reproduce it, this is a bug. The hinting script does not know how to handle the <input type="search"/>. There are a lot of input types allowed through [html5][]. At the moment the input mode is started for input type 'text', 'password', 'checkbox' and 'radio' (by the way, makes it no sense to switch to input mode if a radion button is hinted). > The other case I've noted down is webpage through which I sometimes submit > my homeworks, where hint for file selection shows but following it doesn't > really bring up the selection dialog.

This is a redirect page, and it seems that webkit uses only the part until the question mark to determine the download file name.

And is it in any way configurable? Sound's strange, never noticed this behaviour. There isn't any logic for in vimprobable itself, so this must be a webkit feature. > • Searching terms with diacritics sometimes breaks the diacritics > Sometimes I try to search for a term including diacritics but when > I get results, it seems that the diacritics had been broken somewhere. > It should be reproducable for example here: > https://is.cuni.cz/studium/eng/kdojekdo/index.php?KEY=Az1 > Say you wish to search for person whose family name is "Burešová". > After searching, I see "BureÅ¡ová" in the field. > Another example is my highschool's site, http://www.gym-cl.cz > There's search field in the upper right corner, I used it for example > to search for "suplování" but after the search, it again seems to be > broken. > However, on many sites searching with diacritis works all right. > > Do you have any ideas about what this could be caused by? In general such issues are caused by different character encondings used for the page and the server side application. > • Is it possible to use different encoding to display page/file? > I got to think about that after trying to view > http://www.karryanna.cz/misc/dopis_nejen_jeziskovi.draft > using some browsers.

Yes, :set defaultencoding=utf-8 and reloading of the page should do the trick. > • Is it possible to see link's location before following it? > I sometimes wish to know where a link leads before I really follow it. > I can get to know it by hovering over the link with my mouse but I wish > to do it using keyboard. > I currently use `;y` to achieve this but it's not exactly the same. > Is there something else?

The was an path in the past that provided a :write or :save command to save the current opened document. But this was never merged into vimprobable, don't know why. A workaround could be the :print command that opens the print dialog where you can print the page into pdf or ps, but this isn't the same I know. > • Is there any kind of hinting for frames? > I know that frames are evil and stuff but anyway, for example > http://srazy.hocz.org/index2.html > is a page informing about meetings of a community I belonged in and it's > made using frames.

This hinting does not exist, an we hope frame will fade away from the www. To implement the hinting wouldn't be too difficult, but the scrolling is done in vimprobable on a scrollable window containing the webview. I don't have any idea if there's a way to scroll within a defined frame without using JavaScript (like dwb does). > • Sometimes I can't leave insert mode > I am not sure whether I should report this since I can't reproduce it. > However, sometimes I get stuck in insert mode, it seems that pressing > escape leads to leaving it and activating it again immediately.

Puh, that was a really long mail and it costs me a lot of time and attention. I think for the next time it's better to split the mail into single issue. These would be easier to answer and to keep track of unanswered issue and questions.
