Ctrl + number

Post by tanif »

Nice extension, I like it. Thanks. I'm having a problem though. Its best feature the shortcut Ctrl + number doesn't work. It doesn't override the default action of Firefox when you press ctrl +number that changes the tabs.can you help me with this problem? this shortcut is the main reason i like this extension.

Great ext. it would be nice though if it was possible only to load it on startup and when clicking the "home" button.

I tried setting chrome://speeddial/content/speeddial.xul as my homepage, but it still opens when a new window is loaded and in speed dial options, both automatic load options is un-checked.

Are you using Tab Mix Plus? I think that there's a conflict, there...

That's strange, I just checked that if the option is disabled, Speed Dial won't load in blank new windows.

I also verified that if you place a home page, and set the "when firefox starts, show my home page", it will also load in new blank windows. That is default Firefox behavior, and I'm afraid it's not possible for me to modify it. However, I'll consider adding an option to load Speed Dial only when Firefox starts.

Good news on that: I could manage to get the "background loader" to work. That means that I'll be able to add all the features I had in mind :) So, the export function will be there, and will be very easy to implement for me.

However, it will take some time, since I'll need to add quite a lot of new stuff for the next version.... like the thumbnail refresh!

Thanks. That's the problem. I disabled Tab Mix Plus and the shortcut works now. Is there any solution to use both extensions or I'll have to choose between one of them?

Ok. Looking forward to that.
Thanks for the quick reply.

Thanks for the code joseprio.

I managed to make this work in Stylish extension. My only issue now is that the code is valid for "global", and I wanted to change that so it is only valid for Speed Dial.

So I played a little bit and I found out this code seems to work:

Code: Select all

@-moz-document url(chrome://speeddial/content/speeddial.xul) {
#speeddialGrid row:last-child { display: none !important; }
}


But I'm not really expert programmer, so I wanted to ask you if this is ok or if there's a more efficient code.

I really like this extension but . . . it appears to break the LiveClick extension?

I'm quite sure this should be quite efficient :) Of course, the most efficient way would be that there's some way in my extension to define the number of thumbnails. Perhaps in a future release!

I'll test that... However, the code that is used to load "Speed Dial" in new tabs is not too reliable (so it may break some extensions). I'll solve that in a future release.

Excellent extension! Here are a few ideas:

1. Implement CTRL+ALT+[#] to open Speed Dials in a new tab. This would be very handy.

2. Include a way to manually edit Speed Dial links. One way to do this would be to create a Speed Dial folder under bookmarks containing the shortcuts, though some people may not like this idea. Just a thought...

3. Be more consistent with menu organisation. Have the 'Set as Speed Dial' entry below 'Bookmark This Page/Tab' on every menu. For even greater consistency, might 'Set This Tab as Speed Dial' be better? (Sorry for being so pedantic.)

Thanks for all your hard work! :)
