keyconfig 20110522

[klischee]

Hi

I would need a hotkey which automatically selects the "save file" node and then clicks the "ok"-button when the save-dialog is active (you get it by drag a file (like a .exe) to Firefox).

Any chance someone helps me out?

Hi,

I'm looking for a hotkey that will enable me to open the "Manage Search Engines" window. You can open this window by navigating to the search bar and hitting the arrow and then the menu item "Manage Search Engines..."

Thanks for anyone that can help!

i would like to make an hotkey to open the bookmark library(default on strg+alt+b) with strg+b(the former function of strg+b, bookmark sidebar?) can be deleted or remapped to strg+alt+b(i dont realy care, it should be the easiest way). The tricky part is to close the bookmark library with the same hotkey (strg+b to open and strg+b to close)

is there a way? and could u gime me some advise(or helpful URLs) how to do it? I am not quite sure where to post that code snipset thar are suggested by very helpful and nice people
i ve found prefs.js so far by myslef, thats where keyconfig stores the keys(used win7 search function after i edited a key), right?
but there were no functions/expressions/variables in prefs.js, so i am uncertain where they belong to(in case i need to use them to reach my goal)

I also saw ppl talking about
view-source:chrome://browser/content/browser.xul and view-source:chrome://browser/locale/browser.dtd
i found functions in there but how can i edit them?(if i the code belongs there)

try

Code: Select all

document.getElementById("searchbar").openManager();

or

Code: Select all

BrowserSearch.searchBar.openManager()

Please note that the above codes won't work if you remove the searchbar from Firefox toolbar (via Customize..)
The following code will work even if you remove the searchbar

Code: Select all

openDialog("chrome://browser/content/search/engineManager.xul", "_blank",
           "chrome, dialog, modal, centerscreen, resizable")

THX, works perfect, u REALY did me a favor

i tried to edit the code right inside the keyconfig ff addon, but it didnt work in the first place, so i got confused and startet looking for another solution/place to paste it. Sometimes life is easier then u would expect. Thx again man, helping ppl out in an 149 pages long thread.

Beautiful! Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to hide the search bar, but use the hotkey to manage my search engines.

Thanks!

I wanted to hide the search bar, but use the hotkey to manage my search engines.

…and use the keywords on URL bar to search the web. That's really smart
I always use keywords but never thought of hiding the searchbar.

Uppon pressing CTRL+D the "edit this bookmark" menu is opened, is there a way to have the "show all bookmarks folders" drop down menu be droped down everytime i press ctrl+d? But Only the folders of "Bookmarks Menu" should be visible NOT the subfolder inside the folders. (bookmark menu is the only place where i created folders)
Is there a way to resize the window? Keep the width and increase the length, so it reaches from the adress bar top till the taskbar bottom.

I was using this code to bookmark the active tab:

Code: Select all

    var bookmarkURI = Cc['@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1'].getService(Ci.nsIIOService).newURI(content.document.location, null, null);
    var bookmarkId = PlacesUtils.bookmarks.insertBookmark(PlacesUtils.unfiledBookmarksFolderId, bookmarkURI, PlacesUtils.bookmarks.DEFAULT_INDEX, content.document.title);

Now I want it to check whether the current page is bookmarked before doing anything. If the tab is bookmarked, then unbookmark it. If not, then run the code above. Can anyone help me modify it?

Not with keyconfig/JavaScript but you can add this CSS code with Stylish or userChrome.css.

Code: Select all

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
#editBMPanel_folderTreeRow { visibility: visible !important; }

Thank you so much! How careless of me not to find the second MDN article ...

Suggestion:
Just like the Scriptish add-on, use the Scratchpad as the key editor. I would make editing keys a lot simpler.

Why do "Ctrl+F" and "/" point to the same function which is "gFindBar.onFindCommand();" but pressing the keys result in different actions? One opens the find bar and the other the quick find bar
