keyconfig 20110522

A simple toggle would be

Code: Select all

MsgToggleThreaded();

but a more correct way would be

Code: Select all

var viewFlags = GetDBView().viewFlags

if(viewFlags & nsMsgViewFlagsType.kThreadedDisplay
&& !(viewFlags & nsMsgViewFlagsType.kGroupBySort))
 MsgSortUnthreaded();
else
 MsgSortThreaded();

Hi,

I'm looking for the cmd_ code that corresponds to the "Show Images"
button in the message view window in Thunderbird, which really wants
a keyboard shortcut.

Thanks,
Doug

No cmd_ but DOM Inspector suggests:

Code: Select all

LoadMsgWithRemoteContent();

Yes, that's it all right. Thanks, dorando...

I'm running keyconfig 20060828 in Firefox 2.0 on OS X 10.4.8, and have come across a strange bug. If I type certain characters twice in quick succession while in a text input field or textarea, I lose focus. It happens at least with the following characters:

- (hyphen)
_ (underscore)
! (exclamation)

If I disable keyconfig, the problem goes away. I don't have any key mappings for those keys. Has anyone else seen this problem? It's easily reproducible for me, including in the input boxes on this site. The only place it doesn't seem to happen is in the body field in gmail (although it does happen in the to and subject fields).

Try to disable other extensions, if you haven't already, as there is always the chance that a conflict happens somewhere. You could also try to set keyconfig.profile (in about:config) to something else to test if a shortcut has been misapplied.

Hi there,

How can I make shortcuts to "Reload All Tabs", "Reload All Other Tabs", Reload Right Tabs", "Reload Left Tabs", and "Open a Tab to the Right of the Current Tab"?

Thank you.

Two quick questions:

1) When a text box on a web form currently has focus, is there a way to get KeyConfig to still recognize key presses of the directional arrow keys? I'd like to be able to use up, down, left, and right shortcuts while these form elements have focus if possible.

2) Is there an easy way to allow KeyConfig shortcuts to do things like call functions in a webpage? For example, if I had a calculator program prebuilt with JavaScript on a website somewhere and I wanted to bind F12 to call the ClearAll function via KeyConfig, is this even possible? Obviously F12 would do nothing if there was no ClearAll function on a given webpage, but as long as it worked when there was a ClearAll function, that's all I'm after.

Thanks for your time,
Brad

Hi,

What's the code for Edit | Rewrap?

[dorando]

"Reload All Tabs"

Code: Select all

gBrowser.reloadAllTabs(gBrowser.mContextTab);

"Reload All Other Tabs"

Code: Select all

var browsers = gBrowser.browsers;
var i = 0;
var l = browsers.length;
var x = gBrowser.mCurrentTab._tPos;

for(; i < l; i++)
 if(i != x) try { browsers[i].reload(); } catch(err){};

"Reload Right Tabs"

Code: Select all

var browsers = gBrowser.browsers;
var i = gBrowser.mCurrentTab._tPos + 1;
var l = browsers.length;

for(; i < l; i++)
 try { browsers[i].reload(); } catch(err){};

"Reload Left Tabs"

Code: Select all

var browsers = gBrowser.browsers;
var i = gBrowser.mCurrentTab._tPos - 1;
var l = -1;

for(; i > l; i--)
 try { browsers[i].reload(); } catch(err){};

"Open a Tab to the Right of the Current Tab"

Code: Select all

var x = gBrowser.mCurrentTab._tPos + 1;
gBrowser.moveTabTo(gBrowser.selectedTab = gBrowser.addTab("about:blank"), x);

Those won't reach a <key>, so keyconfig can't help here. You should be able to achieve this by creating a binding file (myHTMLBindings.xml) with following content:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<bindings xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/xbl">
 <binding id="inputFields" extends="chrome://global/content/platformHTMLBindings.xml#inputFields">
  <handlers>
   <handler event="keypress" keycode="VK_LEFT"><![CDATA[

   ]]></handler>
   <handler event="keypress" keycode="VK_RIGHT"><![CDATA[

   ]]></handler>
   <handler event="keypress" keycode="VK_UP"><![CDATA[

   ]]></handler>
   <handler event="keypress" keycode="VK_DOWN"><![CDATA[

   ]]></handler>
  </handlers>
 </binding>
</bindings>

, inserting the appropriate code between each <handler></handler> (you might want to append event.preventDefault(); to your code blocks), and adding following to your userContent.css

Code: Select all

input[type="text"], input:not([type]) {
 -moz-binding: url("resource:///res/myHTMLBindings.xml#inputFields") !important;
}

(this assumes that you've placed the file within the 'res' folder within the Firefox folder)

2) Is there an easy way to allow KeyConfig shortcuts to do things like call functions in a webpage? For example, if I had a calculator program prebuilt with JavaScript on a website somewhere and I wanted to bind F12 to call the ClearAll function via KeyConfig, is this even possible?

content.wrappedJSObject.ClearAll();

Thank you very much dorando, I'll try them right now.

Hi,

Apologies if this has been answered before, but is there a way to easily transfer or backup the custom key bindings that I've made with keyconfig? For example, I've added 10 bindings so that I can use Alt-1 through Alt-0 instead of Ctrl-1 through Ctrl-0 to switch among the first 10 tabs. If I want to duplicate these bindings on other installs of Firefox, should I just copy all the

user_pref("keyconfig.main*

entries in prefs.js?

[Hugin]

Wow, thanks a bunch dorando! Helped a lot, much appreciated.

Well, I un-installed and re-installed keyconfig, and the problem is gone now.
