open new tab

by Hole.destructor＠gmx.de

Hi Dillo team, I have a simple question concerning the new tabbed browsing feature in Dillo2: The only way to open a link in a new tab seems to be a click with the middle mouse button. Since there are some people, who don't have a mouse (for example on Laptops, MacBooks etc.) and therefore must find this middle-click very unhandy, I was wondering whether it is possible to open a link within a new tab by using another method, for example the common <CTRL>-<left mous button> combination? If this is currently not possible, could you introduce it in a future version of dillo? (I think the inofficial Dillo version, which is currently shipped with Debian/Ubuntu knows this alternative combination.) Many thanks in advance for your help, Alexander

Sorry to disappoint you, but hv3 is officially unmaintained already for almost a year and SEE has LOTS of problems... -- Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think. - A. Bierce

This is a small consistency cleanup. Most of the Dillo source uses dlib's dStr* functions for string operations. This patch fixes the few places that do not. Jeremy Henty

I've just pushed Jorge's work to the css-prototype repository. It works fine for me so far :-) Happy new year, Johannes

Hi there, Please receive my best wishes for this new year 2009! We've come a long way since dillo restarted, and progress in several fronts has improved the browser a lot. Thanks to you all for the good work!!! > Amyway, it looks like 2009 will be an exciting year for Dillo. In the hope of it coming true, I just sent Johannes an image handling patch series for CSS to work properly with stylesheet loading. Just wait for his signal after he commits to download and enjoy the new code. Note: I'm still working on it, but it's quite usable "as is". -- Cheers Jorge.- ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

They > certainly appreciate the speed. That sounds like my cue. In case anyone is interested, Dillo has been my default browser for about four or five years -- and almost nothing in this thread nor on the sites mentioned means a thing to me; most of it I never heard of till now. Noticeably often Dillo can't or won't display what I click on -- somewhere between 1 time in 10 and 1 in 100 -- closer to the less frequent end. So be it; that fact alone, or it plus some message the site gives me (e.g., "You need mxzstplk; download it here.") may tell me whether to skip it. If not, I have four or so bigger slower browsers open all the time on other work-spaces, anyway. (Opera, Firefox, Galeon, and usually Epiphany; sometimes Konqueror; occasionally Kazehakase, Midori, or Seamonkey. I use Firefox for NoScript; Opera for redirects (which I dis-automate); and so on.) Having those already launched makes it fast to switch work-spaces, add or overwrite a tab, and try the reject there. (I can usually guess from Dillo and the URL itself which to pick, nearly always on the first try.) The really big things, to at least this one not quite clueless user (who wouldn't know a line of code if it bit me), are what they've always been, and I hope will remain : safety and speed. In particular, I run a couple of small private lists, most of whose subscribers use one form or another of Windows; I don't allow attachments of any sort; and I urge people to send links instead. So I have lots of sites to vet. (Until recently, I ran lists only manually.) For that, Dillo is invaluable. If Dillo displays a site, it's likely to be safe -- and I can guess whether my subscribers will be interested. If not, that one next look will likely tell me what I need to know. In any case, better by far that I, with Dillo, linux (Fedora 10), hard & soft firewalls, etc., should look -- rather than some poor soul with negligible defenses. I hope this helps. -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. I try to be paranoid, but I just can't keep up.

(New Year's resolution: stop trusting my memory!) That's a pretty impressive performance gap! I guess that's the price you pay for being simple. I'll still have a look at SEE once their website is back. Regards, Jeremy Henty
