Any chance of getting that "open in external browser" integrated with Dillo?
Open in external program, you mean? There are patches for that. More than one person has written patches to make such thing work. I have written one to get it working, but it was a quick big hack.
Look in the archive of the list. Subject ``viewing non-web files.''
Both would be useful. Sometimes it's nice to open an URL (current, or the one under the pointer) in a different program. Other times it's useful to load the current page content in a program (like gvim, for example). The former would pass an URL directly to a program, while the latter passes the path of a temp file. Either would be useful for both the current page and as an option in the right-click menu for links: Current page: - send current URL to program (firefox, or similar) - save current page and open in program (gvim or similar) Right click a link and then... - send URL to program (firefox, mplayer, whatever) - download its content, and open it in program (xv, gvim, ...) The thing I do most often is "copy link location" or "copy image location". But that wouldn't be as necessary if dillo could send the URL/file to a program for me. OTOH, just adding a keybinding for those "copy location" functions might be even better, to eliminate a lot of clicking and mousing. (hover the mouse over a link or image, press a key, and its URL goes into the clipboard) -- Scott
