TIPS!

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there! From time to time I find some remarkable articles. The next couple is in our [Links] section, but as most probably some of us have missed them, I want to recommend them explicitly. The make an excellent read for every developer, regardless of the project they're working on. Please take my advice and spare some time to read them, it's all worth of it! http://www.dillo.org/ui-prefs-tips.html http://ometer.com/features.html (both by Havoc Pennington). -- I also noice that sometimes it gets a bit tedious to dig in the mailing list archives, and there was this ancient email about GMANE, and hey! they have a nice search engine. Now there's a link to it from our [Mailing list] page. Enjoy! Jorge.-

Or is it still on a TO-DO list? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ As far as I remember one of Sebastian's first mails on selection, this is indeed the case ! I'm too lazy to search the archive, though.

Maybe this could be documented in the Copy&Paste section in http://www.dillo.org/dillo-help.html? Fred

That would be like having an option for whether or not you follow links when you click on them. Or one to flat-out disable selection. Sorry, I recently re-read "Free software and good user interfaces" <http://www106.pair.com/rhp/free-software-ui.html>. The original post reminded me of the section where the author describes people who assume bugs are intentional and request a preference instead of a fix. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

Its not exactly configurable but after starting the selection you can still scroll with arrow keys or PgUp PgDown. I've been using that trick since cut and paste was introduced. george

I will however dig a bit more, the issue that I am concearned is if it prohibits some action to be implemented, ( workarounds are ok for me :-) ). I also have a related question about the dpi's, whith the new interface, how it fx. a https dpi supposed to work ? and would it be possible to make fw a svg dpi ? ( thus enabling the dpi to do the rendering ? Anyhow, for my stumbling attempts whith dpi's it seems to be fully adequat. / regards, Lars Segerlund.
