I don't see why anybody should have to edit an rc file *for a graphical program* in 2011. The Apple Macintosh had a GUI for all its preferences nearly 30 years ago; do you really want to lag three decades behind the times? (An rc file is fine for a text-mode program, and it's nice to have the option in others, but in a *graphical program* it should not be the only way to set preferences. For crying out loud, even Lynx has a user interface for its preferences!) Anyway, getting back on topic: My one suggestion would be to combine the search_shortcut and search_url dillorc options, so you could do i.e. search_url=Wikipedia [w] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s to set the search shortcut to "w", or search_url=Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=%s to set no shortcut. It might be slightly trickier to parse, but it will make dillorc less cluttered. (Not to mention, it will be easier to integrate with my preferences GUI ;-) Cheers, ~Benjamin

Something simple. e.g. md5.c /* This file contains parts of code taken from project_foo * <project foo tags/ack here> */ ... /* Code from project foo BEGIN */ ... /* Code from project foo END */ -- Cheers Jorge.-

Yes, it's quite handy for power users. ... and average users are afraid of an rc file (*sigh*), so maybe it's not that bad having a GUI by default, which power users can customize into a CLI with dillorc. The other approach is to have everything GUI, which adds size, but proves quite handy sometimes (e.g. Tools menu). Now, considering that changing the search engine shortcut is not a frequent operation, and that the CLI search is most appreciatted by power users, I tend to like the approach in the quick patch. YMMV. -- Cheers Jorge.-

There are a lot of Wikipedia pages and many web sites have set up their own wiki. All these pages have the same style. So one change would make thousands of web pages rendered correctly. I suggest that this issue is being solved. Georg

Right, well, that's a bit more advanced (unless one just uses YubNub for that :) ) Relatedly: is there any way to allow non-same-domain redirects selectively (ie: only for YubNub) ? - -- Stephen Paul Weber, @singpolyma See <http://singpolyma.net> for how I prefer to be contacted edition right joseph -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJOzrFDAAoJENEcKRHOUZze3eQQAMG7EtX64HMuOuv863WmoxNa f2y2D69Q7zEHipsnkdqlf83W11wWVE34ZfW3CsEBuIi9rFRQPAN6QHZajzcsDRMY XaAQ1b6OCIUvmfHI5AgsWoXtXkoreMzbP/sJ0nVG5ZRHjxNBfpOmTRdBlPSRPd3t OST8i7432xNU/iEqSFfwPPKcTUtfYGYBp5PQ0UiF26W9TdJbxFkbAsTiDj+jcy+l I4h2cuyM/zNZ3XLERIoNaQ1SDkHs0iIGU2qq/qGYXVPle66TMrx9pVpizu2Oq8TE Z+5Y6IkGjei+sawU+5atAsOIAHIzMDzWCKziE2KksqqICDZStiv+1I3I9Bba7arb D18u6x1Ehp2DsASSgxB9dq8XcXJFwCzcTv1XKScvtfwD1Jv/cW+VOUtQypQ+6VbQ 7/bCVY52TRplbuIjR0hyPBD2QkWaNl0z1jDgGiUASmpFMMnOkcFHpy2obBd53jfF WeDe9tco3r4h08f0IAThp3wO/A+UUQY2h6TMNHuiDdBnypfUnsXTWLj+FCif52O4 6DYlyG7M2rcaw/frkMMWtgInJ5cDm8cPmvcHgqynVTtXdmxYuxkNGJc9CKXKOHd2 3XbYvhBEFSwsbHujuNEkbsm4OfAwTCqsNASwXlT0VpJOk9AMxFawT/v3CeeBOzGw yOG52hcp0NXjvi77zmFr =R6DS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I have to say, that it feels quite handy. The dillorc interface seems not optimal though (suggestions?). Cheers, Johannes

There are a couple of things that are known not to work (floats, negative margins), but I'd like to rule out that something else is wrong in your case. Cheers, Johannes
