I hope there are still plans to get Dillo to display Wikipedia pages properly. The NetSurf browser, as I found, has no problems with those: http://www.netsurf-browser.org/about/screenshots/images/gtk-wikipedia.png I thought that the rendering engines of Dillo and NetSurf would be comparable and not that much different.

keysrc and prefix keys

Does it work to put a check for Home or End with no modifier wherever it makes sense, and then put a breakpoint on that and have a look at the backtrace?

I wrote: > I'll submit the patch for consideration in a few days. OK, here it is. It binds Ctrl-{Home,End} to {first,last}-tab. I find it very useful. There is one oddity - sometimes Dillo ignores the Ctrl key so that Ctrl-{Home,End} behave like {Home,End}. This bug usually disappears after I Ctrl-{Shift,}-tab to some other tab but I do not know how to consistently cause or resolve the problem. I suspect that the patch is not the real cause. Please comment. Regards, Jeremy Henty

I have a patch to bind KEYS_{FIRST,LAST}_TAB in my local repository and I find it really useful, particularly when I have so many tabs open that they cannot all be displayed in the tab bar. I'll submit the patch for consideration in a few days. Regards, Jeremy Henty

Maybe we could bind them to Ctrl-{Home,End}? It >seems natural and they could be sensibly customised in keysrc without >complicating the code. What's humorous about all these key binding on Dillo, I rarely ever use key bindings within a GUI application. At most for Dillo, I use the mouse buttons and scroll wheel. Once my hands are off the keyboard and on a mouse, it's difficult and time consuming to switch back & forth to a keyboard. And, I mostly use command line applications, for the main reason using a keyboard is faster. (Second reason, less resource intensive.) Making it even more difficult for GUI users, there just isn't any incentive for using the keyboard while in X or GUI, unless one yanks (detaches) the mouse. Then, most users are like (duh), what do I do now -- because there's no method to see key bindings easily. Funny! Hence, key bindings are likely a good fall back method if you have key bindings memorized. -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/

Maybe we could bind them to Ctrl-{Home,End}? It seems natural and they could be sensibly customised in keysrc without complicating the code. Regards, Jeremy Henty

Change "view page source" to use a DPI.

by mailbox＠georgpotthast.de

When I read the "Current Plans" list I thought that the Medium priority items were worked on after the High Priority items were done and overlooked the green button. Since "View page source" works in the current version of Dillo-Win32 Johannes is right and Benjamin had already rewritten that. Considering all the work Benjamin has put into his version I cannot react with <shrugs> on his decision to discontinue. I just hope he may change his mind again. Georg

I think (Benjamin?) gave up recently on the win32 port because his MS Windows patches were being denied. (See win32 port website. <shrugs>) -- Roger http://rogerx.freeshell.org/
