About Blog Dev | Alfa Romeo SZ Conkeror wishlist

What will be good to see in conkeror:

  • Session save
  • Possibility to divide frame into windows
  • f must complete for form's labels (or input names?)
  • Closed buffers history (possibility to restore buffer with it history)
  • Shift-cursors for navigating (walking?) through URLs (Opera's spatial navigation)
  • Middle button click must open URL in new buffer (this can be done relatively easy with bind to middle-click action)
  • Select text from keyboard (now possible by C-q F7, but emacs-like shortcuts does not work)

Already exist:

  • C-k must copy killed text to kill-ring
  • Possibility to use current page shortcuts (like greader/gmail j/k/r/etc) (C-q sends next key to page, M-C-q sends all keys until Esc)
  • Tabs (M-x tab-bar-mode or tab_bar_mode(true); in .conkerorrc)
  • URL history (url_completion_use_history = true; in .conkerorrc)
  • Save previous active buffer (to have possibility for swapping buffers, for opening it on current buffer close)
  • Open link in background, add this to .conkerorrc:
    
    interactive("follow-new-buffer-background", 
            "follow to a link in new buffer, opened in background",
            function (I) {
                var target = OPEN_NEW_BUFFER_BACKGROUND;
                var element = yield I.read_browser_object("follow", "Follow", "links", target);
                browser_element_follow(I.buffer, target, element);
            });
    define_key(content_buffer_normal_keymap, "M-f", "follow-new-buffer-background");
