Hi there, I'm wondering if it would be difficult to add a neat little feature that other browsers usuall implement: X11 Mouse-mid-click pasting of an url in the body of the dillo window as a shortcut to x-ing the url field and pasting there, then type enter. ...or does someone already have a patch handy? ;-) And: Don't let you be distracted from CSS support by this... Alrighty then, Thomas.

you can already paste a URL to the X icon in the urlbar and it will load... the midle click on the body is reserved to dragging the page cya higuita -- Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. -- Hermann Goering, Nazi and war criminal, 1883-1946

Indeed. Good to know.

Now that's funny. I have my middle button configured to emulate scroll wheels when pressed+dragging (EmulateWheel option in Xorg config). This is kindof convenient in all around X11, especiall with a trackpoint or trackball... The funny part is that this Xorg feature hides the middle click + dragging action from dillo -- it gets vertical and horizontal scroll events instead, while the single middle click that could paste the URL (let through by Xorg, because of EmulateWheelclickToo) is blocked from that by dillo, which prepares for movement of the mouse -- which is impossible to get in this config. So an unreachable feature of dillo (dragging) makes a different expected feature (middle-click pasting into window) unreachable. I envision making this configurable in dillo (deactivate dragging to activate pasting)... or recreate the EmulateWheelclickToo behaviour to use the isolated click for the differing action. But that being said -- this is a really minor issue compared to CSS support. Alrighty then, Thomas. PS: As a side note: dillo does not handle the horizontal scroll events:-( This is a more major issue than middle-click pasting, 'cause I got really used to 2D scrolling. I hope FTLK2 doesn't just swallow these.

Agreed. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Please try the attached patch and let us know how it works for you. If you're a developer you may send me a patch with the middle_click_dragscrolls_page=YES dillorc option that went set to NO acts as the attached patch. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Yay, it does!

Hm, you suggest me _adding_ that option. Took me a while to realize;-) Well, what about the attached patch...?
Good try! :) Please add the commented option in dillorc in the "USER INTERFACE SECTION" and resubmit with "diff -pru". (you can cut lines with starting with '?' too). That would be perfect! :-) -- Cheers Jorge.-

Ok, second one.
Committed a modified version because it wasn't allowing middle click over links to work as usual. Also finally decided to use "middle_click_drags_page" as the option's name. Please test the CVS. -- Cheers Jorge.-
