Multiple selections with extended hints

I like the idea of the extended hints, but in practice, it doesn't work well for
me (or I'm missing something). 

Say I want to open links 11, 14, and 19 in tabs. I can do ;F111419, and it works
fine, but after I do ;F11 the link indicators all disappear, so unless I
remember the number, I don't know what to type next. Am I missing something? Is
there a way to make the numbering remain when in extended hints mode?

Trouble with Awesomebar integration

Hi,

I was happy to see the integration with Awesomebar.  Though, when I
tried to test it out, I found a few rough edges.

1) Text inputted before selecting a link is not fed back to Awesomebar
2) Competion order is always placing "s" or the suggestions before the
awesomebar results regardless of the "complete" value

Details:
1) Suppose I type ":open sl" and get a list of options.  I then select
Slashdot from the list.  Next time I enter "sl", I should see slashdot
at the very top of the list per Awesomebar behavior.  However, when I
do this via vimperator, I do not get the expected behavior.  When I
use the Awesomebar GUI to do the same, only then is "Slasdot" becoming
the first link in the list.  This new ordering remains in vimperator
thereafter.

2) Have :set complete="ls".  Then when type ":open test", I see
suggestions coming before the rest of the choices, which should not be
the case per my ordering choice.

Awesomebar is a great feature and I am glad that you are integrating
these into Vimperator.

Regards,
Harish

Making it Easier to Escape

With it being such a tradition in vi, I don't know if anyone will take me seriously when I say that it would be nice if we had an alternative to the Escape Key in Vimperator.  On Vim, I have had it mapped to ;i for years because with today's keyboards, going over touchpads all the way to Escape, seems such a *looong* distance to travel .  I asked once before about this but, at that time, there was no alternative.  Has anything changed? 

Short of a remapping alternative for Esc, on a related note, I was wondering whether it would be feasible when in "Pass Through" mode for a mouse/touchpad click to the command line to release Vimperator into command mode?  I haven't thought this one through very well but it might be useful.

Thanks

Open link in background tab from within extended hint mode

Hello everybody,

Attached you find a patch to add support for opening a link in a  
background tab from within extended hint mode. It as well updates the  
char-hints.js script and documentation.

Daniel

Ctrl+Q keybinding and other Firefox keybindings that get activated accidentally

So after killing Firefox three times with Ctrl+Q after upgrading to
1.2 I finally checked the ChangeLog and found that Ctrl+Q has been
replaced by Ctrl+Z for that exact reason.  Ignoring the irony of it
all, isn't it time we disable all of Firefox's built in keybindings?
I wrote an add-on long ago that let you redefine Firefox's keybindings
and it must be possible to simply remove them.  Has anyone looked into
this and found that it's impossible?  Otherwise I could consider
spending an hour or two working on this.

bookmarks manager key combination

I've accidentally stumbled upon something of which I was unaware.

Hitting Alt - Shift - b - o opens the Firefox bookmark manager.

Is this key combination documented anywhere?

Thanks

vimperator.vim

Basic newbie question - where does the vimperator.vim file go? Should it
be included in the ~/.vimperatorrc file? Or should it be in the
~/.vimperator directory or in ~/vimperator/plugins?

Thanks

Nextpattern suggestion

Hi

I've got a little suggestion for nextpattern functionality (I think it
is easy to add so I hope for it before next release :)).
Sometimes it happens that instead of the text in the links leading to
next/previous page there is some fancy picture (usually kind of arrow)
so the ]] and [[ does not work but it could if the text in "alt" was
scanned also.

Would somebody be so kind and implement it (unfortunately I do not
know javascript - if I knew I'd be sending patch instead of this email
:)).

Best regards
Andrzej

Navigation question

Hi,

Is there a way to edit the currently open url in place?

e.g.

Say I'm at http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/4000
and want to navigate to http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/3000

Is there an easy way to do this without re-typing the URL?

Thanks,

Hmm..well, maybe you have installed Firefox from a Linux repo? It
seems that downloading firefox from the Mozilla website provides all
the jar files and whatnot. I haven't had much success modifying that
userChrome.css file in the past either, like when I tried to remove
the title bar.

Re: Vimperator Digest, Vol 17, Issue 14

Yes, I put that css to change the command line green on focus into
stylish and it worked good!

I installed Stylish originally trying to get rid of scrollbars and
titlebar. I wanted to get rid of that chrome titlebar but not
fullscreen mode and go totally minimal. I have it now without anything
at the top no toolbars or titlebar. This is how I got rid of title.

I've been into this minimalism lately. I tried RatpoisonWM. Colon
Commands are cool. But Rat Poison doesn't support GIMP. I finally
switched my brain away from ADOBE and there's no way I'm quitting Gimp
now just for Ratpoison.
