Pentadactyl for Pale Moon
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
This is a port of one of the best XUL-based Firefox extensions, targeting [Pale Moon](https://www.palemoon.org/) 27. The goal of this project is to make Pentadactyl compatible with Pale Moon, while staying as close to the upstream as possible.
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
You can find the latest XPI file for download [here](https://github.com/madand/pentadactyl-pm/releases/latest). For older versions see the [Releases](https://github.com/madand/pentadactyl-pm/releases) page.
|
|
|
|
Development
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
### Build XPI from sources ###
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
git clone --depth 1000 https://github.com/madand/pentadactyl-pm.git
|
|
cd pentadactyl-pm/
|
|
make -C pentadactyl xpi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This resulting XPI will be placed in the `downloads/` folder.
|
|
|
|
#### Build dependencies ####
|
|
|
|
* zip
|
|
* gmake
|
|
* Standard POSIX commands: awk, echo, sed, sh
|
|
|
|
While most developers use a Unix-like operating system, you can also build Pentadactyl on Windows with the help of MinGW's MSYS, Cygwin, or SFU.
|
|
|
|
### Install without XPI ###
|
|
|
|
As creating and installing a new XPI file after each update is cumbersome, most developers run Pentadactyl directly from their working copies. This is achieved with [Firefox extension proxy file][1], which is a plain text file named after the extension ID and its contents is just a path to the extension source directory.
|
|
|
|
Assuming you use the `default` profile, the following command will create the proxy file:
|
|
|
|
``` shell
|
|
cd /path/to/cloned/pentadactyl-pm/
|
|
# On clean profile, ensure that 'extensions' directory exists inside of the profile directory.
|
|
echo "$(pwd)/pentadactyl" >~/'.moonchild productions/pale moon'/*.default/extensions/pentadactyl@addons.palemoon.org
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you installed Pentadactyl via the proxy file, restart the browser. Afterwards, you can use `:rehash` command to reload the extension without further browser restarts. Moreover, you can bind it to a key chord in your `~/.pentadactylrc`:
|
|
|
|
``` viml
|
|
nmap -ex <C-r> :rehash
|
|
```
