First of all would like to thank you for this great little web browser. You are doing a really good job. Keep it up! :)
:) I'd like to know why you consider it great, and what you use it for.
[...] 2) With the latest dillo2 version (I think this bug was introduced only recently, as I tested dillo2 from cvs not so long ago & it wasn't present) the menu is "teared off" when pressed. Here is a screenshot: http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/5211/dillomenuxu9.png and dillorc I use: http://pastebin.com/f42244f75
Not a bug but a feature! The detached menu allows for two things: 1.- Popup menu working with Alt-F shortcut even when the "File" item is hidden. 2.- Simpler code and improved panel configuraion flexibility.
3) What happened to frame support? dillo 0.8.6 was able to display them without any problems.
Frame support never was inside official dillo. It may be added in the near future, provided an interested developer commits to help with it. (most probably we'll be more focused on CSS, and bug fixes).
4) Some keyboard shortcuts are missing. I didn't find shortcuts for: Home, Stop, Save, bookmark current page.
Right, that set doesn't have a keyboard shortcut yet.
Suggestions:
2) History and address autocompletion (which could come with history) imho is needed a lot.
Could be.
3) Both history & bookmarks could be saved in sqlite db.
We aim to be light, fast and low on dependencies. You can easily get dillo bookmarks from ~/.dillo/bm.txt, it's a text file that mainly has lines like this: <section> <URL> <TITLE>
4) web page source code could be searchable and code highlighting could be added too.
Searching source code is planned (most probably as a dpi). Some Highlighting may be added too.
6) When closing dillo with multiple tabs open, it always asks if I really want to do that. There could be an option "Don't ask again" like in other browsers.
Surprising!
7) Let's say I typed sth in a text field, then changed my mind and want to go to previous page. The thing is, I can't do that using keyboard shortcut anymore (I have to click BACK button with mouse). Escape keyboard key could "escape" from the text field and enable keyboard navigation in this case.
Yes you can. Press TAB to get out of the location bar, and then use the keyboard shortcut for Back or Forward.
8) Also I am really missing "Copy current URL location" which is present in links-hacked right-click menu. Maybe this could be added to dillo too?
Yes, it may be handy. Do you use it to drop the URL into a full blown browser? BTW, please bear in mind that we need more manpower (i.e. developers). Currently our current plans are more than enough workload. Now, if some handy suggestions (like some of these) are easy to implement, we'd be glad to help. -- Cheers Jorge.-
