keyconfig 20110522

[warakawa]

hi guys, I would like to customize next tab and previous tab to right arrow and left arrow respectively, how can I do that?

Thanks.

How well does it work with "more recent" platforms?

I won't claim support but everything seems to work fine currently.

Well, I shall have to wait some more: when I enable keyconfig, the URL bar of every tab says "about:addons" regardless of what is actually displayed in the tab.

I get exactly the same problem with the QuickFolders extension. With either extension enabled I get the problem, disabling them both makes it disappear.

Doesn't happen for me, perhaps something else interfering?

You can't change them, but you can Add a new key containing

Code: Select all

gBrowser.tabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(1,true); 

or

Code: Select all

gBrowser.tabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(-1,true); 

.

Did you try in SeaMonkey? IIUC its tabbrowser is not identical with Firefox's (especially after all the tabs-on-top novelties in Firefox, but they never were identical).
Or else, maybe I've reached a limit in the "number of enabled extensions"? (36 enabled not counting themes & langpacks) ISTR a bug somewhere saying that the new (Gecko 2+ Fx4+ etc.) addons-manager started behaving erratically when there were more than thirty-some extensions (number not well-defined and varying somewhat between installations, but in that range).

I tried it in: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:7.0a1) Gecko/20110613 Firefox/7.0a1 SeaMonkey/2.4a1

Try

Code: Select all

if(document.getElementById("sidebar-title").value == "TITLE")
 toggleSidebar('viewWebPanelsSidebar', false);
else {
 openWebPanel("TITLE","URL");
 document.getElementById("sidebar-box").width = 300;
} 

Megathanks! I really appreciate your help!
I'm afraid I still have a couple of requests:

1. Is there a way to simply hide the web panel so it wouldn't be reloaded when reopened ?
2. Code for diable Java/Flash globally. Since the old codes won't work now, I am wondering whether we can use js to simulate the process of diabling plugins in Addon Manager?

Thanks in advance!

Try

Code: Select all

var sidebar = document.getElementById("sidebar");
var sidebarBox = document.getElementById("sidebar-box");
var sidebarSplitter = document.getElementById("sidebar-splitter");

if(sidebar.contentDocument.location != "about:blank" &&
   document.getElementById("sidebar-title").value == "TITLE") {
 if(sidebarBox.hidden) {
  sidebarBox.setAttribute("sidebarcommand", "viewWebPanelsSidebar");
  sidebarBox.hidden = sidebarSplitter.hidden = false;
 } else {
  sidebarBox.removeAttribute("sidebarcommand");
  sidebarBox.hidden = sidebarSplitter.hidden = true;
  content.focus();
 }
} else {
 openWebPanel("TITLE","URL");
 sidebarBox.width = 300;
}

Try

Code: Select all

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/AddonManager.jsm");
AddonManager.getAddonsByTypes("plugin", function(addons) {
 for(var i = 0, l = addons.length; i < l; i++)
  if(addons[i].name == "Shockwave Flash") addons[i].userDisabled = !addons[i].userDisabled;
});

Both work perfectly! Thank you so much!

Would it be possible to add compatibility for the Aurora and/or Nightly channels?

Your best bet is to install the Addon Compatibility Reporter extension. Then, you will not have to worry about this.

hi dorando & co,

the searchhotkeys extension hasn't (yet) been updated for FF5:
https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/in ... searchkeys

Is there a way to make that extension redundant by harnessing keyconfig?

You referred to searchhotkeys here viewtopic.php?f=48&t=72994&start=885 back in 2008.

thx,

chirpy

ps: I don't know why, but version-bump didn't work (changing the max value in install.rdf) this time... any ideas?

Edit: tried version bumping again, now it worked. Still, I'd be interested to know, if keyconfig couldn't supply / harness the same two keys, making searchhotkeys redundant ?

I don't like that method personally; it causes extensions to not be auto-updated unless/until they're bumped for compatibility with my Firefox version.

That is an issue with addons.mozilla.org, not an extension or the browser. amo does not allow installation/updating of extensions and themes that are not "compatible" with the browser (version) you are running at that moment without user intervention. AFAIK-there is no way to get around this. As a long-time user of Nightly (nee Minefield/Trunk) builds, I don't lose any sleep over this.

Yes, but I do.

Then, you need to get over it as you and I are not going to change it. It truly is NOT worth losing sleep over

That's your opinion. My original question was directed at the developer, so unless you speak for him please stop contributing useless noise to the thread, thank you.
