Hi again, I was just wondering, could we add an option to control the address bar key bindings? I know they're set to behave like a Unix command line, which can be convenient, but it also interferes with some custom key bindings (as one of my users mentioned in bug #1012). I've also noticed that the address bar bindings confuse a lot of people, since they're not used to the Unix behavior. Conventionally, Ctrl-A is "select all," and other input boxes in Dillo follow that, so they aren't expecting it to go to the beginning of the line instead. I'll be happy to write the patch, I just wanted to see if anyone would be willing to commit it first. :-) Cheers, ~Benjamin

Having it consistent over all text inputs and configurable via keysrc sounds reasonable to me. I don't know the keysrc details though, so I might miss something. Cheers, Johannes
