If you follow the UI::focus_location() method you will see that we already select the location text[2]. However, something else is causing the selection to get lost shortly after.
Ok, this at least confirms that I was looking in the right spot. I guess it will take a deeper dive to figure out whats wrong then.
Maybe we could have a pref named 'new_tab_page', and if it's undefined, the default blank tab behavior would remain. Otherwise the user defined url would be loaded on new tabs.
It sounds reasonable to me. I would use the empty string ("") as the default value to mean "don't open anything" (but still focus on the location bar). So we only add functionality retaining the same behavior we have now.
Sounds good, I will try to come up with a patch when time permits, maybe sometime next week.
Also, I added the ML to mail-archive[3], which should be easier to browse with Dillo without JS.
Nice, I'm sure there are people who will only browse the archive without actually subscribing to the list. I noticed that the mailman3.com web archive is not working great, for example our conversation from yesterday has not showed up there at all yet. Regards, Alex
