First there was a Navigator, then there was an Explorer. Later it was time for a Konqueror. Now it's time for an Imperator, the VIMperator :) Priority list: 1-9 as in vim (9=required for next release, 5=would be nice, 1=probably not) BUGS: - switching tabs while HINT_MODE_ALWAYS is on does not redisplay hints in new tabs, but exits hint mode - hints are not placed correctly when zoom is used - flashing frame is not perfect FEATURES: 9 marks of a Location (also should work with directories), [m a-zA-Z] to set it, [' a-zA-Z] to go there [m 0-9] marks a buffer instead [' 0-9] goes there also mark bookmarks (with mA-Z maybe and use only lowercase marks for inbuffer marks?) also support :mark and :marks 8 :cd .. -> Up one directory, :cd goes to top location, [Backspace] command shortcut, use count (:3cd goes 3 levels up) 8 downloading of links to filesystem (:save ) 8 provide a buffer on the bottom where more than 1 line messages can be shown, preferrable with color support (for things like :ls) 8 middleclick in content == p, and if command line is open, paste there the clipboard buffer 8 [ctrl-o/i] to Go back to a Previous Position (done partly, however currenty does not use a per tab jumplist) 8 Use our own find-as-you-type mechanism (like conkeror does) 7 make hints smarter, not only with characters from from hintchars, but use "NE" or "NP" for 'new posts' e.g. (might be too slow) 7 whereever possible: get rid of dialogs and ask console-like dialog questions or write error prompts directly on the webpage or with :echo() 7 :hardcopy -> printing 7 Ctrl-6/Ctrl-^ -> jump to the previously active tab 7 :b[uffer] should switch to a buffer/tab :b[uffer] - show buffers, if argument is number, switch to this tab, if url, open tab with this url buffer Switching also after pressing 'b' and typing _any_ part of the buffer name? 7 3d should delete 3 tabs 6 :map commands to keys 6 autocommands (BrowserStart, BrowserQuit, TabClose, TabOpen, TabChanged, PageLoaded, any more?) 6 vim like mappings for caret mode and textboxes (i to start caret mode?) 6 pipe selected text/link/website to an external command 6 macros (qq) 6 :ls - show buffers 6 support firefox search engines 6 gf = view source? 6 make a real one-tab-mode, divert _all_ other targets, possible by setting a firefox option (set popup=0-3) 6 Shift-Insert in textboxes pastes clipboard contents 5 make use of the ] and [ keys to e.g. jump to the next heading ]], next image ]i, previous textbox [t and so on 5 add tag support to adding/deleting bookmarks 4 Support multiple top-level windows? 3 Splitting Windows with [:sp :vsp ctrl-w,s ctrl-w,v] and closing with [ctrl-w,q], moving with [ctrl-w,w or tab] 3 :set should also set about:config options (with autocomplete) DONE: /* new shortcuts */ ctrl-o: go back ctrl-i: go forward - most commands accessible as a :command (e.g. :set noplugins) - Switchting between Frames of a website with [F] and flashing the active frame - show current url in statusbar - bookmarks and history handling - Advanced Movement Keys [gg G ctrl-f/b ctrl-u/d?] - Options: guioptions statusline - beep() - [1-9]gt Goes to tab 1-9 (13gt will go to the 13th tab) - support for ^ and $ (move maximum left/right) - ZZ (and :wq or :x) saves the session when quitting, ZQ (or :q) does not - pressing 0-9 starts link following mode -> [o] = open it, [t] open in new tab, [s] saves it, [ctrl-w] open in new window, [y] yanks it if there is 13,14,52 open all links in tabs, if there is a , open in background - need to set keypress into dom.popup_allowed_events - copy frame/link/image Location with easy keypresses [yy?]
