[patch]: small update to the dpidrc build

by onepoint＠starurchin.org

I just noticed that the automake example that I based my last patch on was careful to include the makefile as a dependency in the custom build rule, so here's a mini-patch to do that. Jeremy Henty

[patch]: improve the build of dpidrc

by onepoint＠starurchin.org

I've been studying the DPI code (hoping to work on SSL) and I noticed that installing dpidrc is rather hacky. The info page "(automake.info) Scripts" describes a standard way to do this using a template. This is simpler because we only explicitly code the build rule in Makefile.am and automake installs it as normal, so there's no messing around with $(datadir), $(DESTDIR) etc. Also, changes such as making the https dpi into a server rather than a filter will only affect the template and won't require changing Makefile.am. The patch is attached. It creates a new source file dpid/dpidrc.in which must be added to CVS. Regards, Jeremy Henty

Committed a modified version because it wasn't allowing middle click over links to work as usual. Also finally decided to use "middle_click_drags_page" as the option's name. Please test the CVS. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Tango like Icon theme for Dillo

I've tested it with Dillo 2, and it seems to work well. Thanks for the contribution! It was added in the Icons page. BTW, I'd suggest the inactive version of the Stop icon to have the internal "x" mark. -- Cheers Jorge.-

SSL is needed for Webmin. If Webmin can work without Javascript, it'd be intersting to add more priority on the SSL plugin. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Great. Configurable keybindings is a must. Now, as unfortunately our mailing list search engine is down (now working on it), I'll quote a bit from there on this topic: > [Jorge wrote:] > I believe one of the important things that we could support is > custom keyboard shortcuts in dillorc.

As you can see this is needed. If you want to get into the code and find out how it looks, peruse the ::handle() functions. E.g.: cd dillo-2.0/src ./srch ::handle That will give you a list of source files defining handle(). Start with ui.cc. Note: FLTK2 has a virtual handle() method, it receives EVENTS from the FLTK2 engine. If a developer wants to customize a widget's behaviour she must do in handle(). One way to do this is to define a table of function/shortcut, and fill it with defaults and override with dillorc settings. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After configurable shortcuts, there's keyboard navigation... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Another good task to begin with is the multiple search engines. Currently we have only one hooked, configurable using dillorc. The idea is to extend dillorc with something like: search_url="<title>,<URL>[,LoadPage]" and improve the search dialog: .------------------------------, | Search with <title>: | | [_________________________] | | | | [Cancel] [OK] | '------------------------------' Where <title> is a drop-down menu with a <title> list. For instance: .------------------. | Google | | Wikipedia | | FreeDictionary | | ... | '------------------' ... now some sugar-coat: UpKey focus the menu. Selecting a menu item re-focus input line (History may be added to DownKey). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BTW, what does CUA mean? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Er. How's that for an introduction? Very good. Now I know your interests, but not your skills. I assume you're good with C/C++ and widgets. Once again, welcome aboard! PS: Other developers that have contacted me, may also choose from this task list. Just be sure not to be silent about it and to coordinate. -- Cheers Jorge.-
