I enabled Click to play feature by go to about:config -> change plugins.click_to_play to true.
But I want a hotkey to active all plugin in page, please help me, thanks!

With the drop-down, you can choose the plugin or plugins you wish to activate on that page.

Sorry, but what I need is a hotkey to active plugin in current page.

[WildcatRay]

Sorry about that. Hopefully, someone else can figure this out for you.

the keyconfig UI still uses the symbols, so Opt-Cmd-Z appears as ⌥⌘Ω (since Opt-Z produces the omega symbol). i had to change the Ω to a Z in prefs.js to get the shortcut working again.

what i haven't figured out is why it only affects *some* of my option-key shorcuts, but i'm guessing other mac users will run into this problem too. anyway, i figured bug 418091 would necessitate changing the symbols back to letters at some point.

The patch seems to only have an effect on <key>s with an empty or no key attribute, but the key attribute is used for characters like Ω (keycode is used for VK_*).

Maybe it was caused by the patch for Bug 492931 - Case change algorithm in DOM should use ASCII upper/lowercasing (Firefox 13) which was partly backed out in Bug 776075 - Command keys using upper-case non-ASCII characters are broken (Firefox 16).

Is there a way to switch the dTa! Selector button on and off in what shortcut?

Answered there.

Dear, I've just migrated to Seamonkey. When reading RSS feeds, pressing Enter on a feed item opens it on a new window. I'd like Enter to open it in a new tab so it doesn't load the entire page. Currently, to open in a new tab I have to right click and choose that option.

The code responsible for that does run before it can reach a <key>, so keyconfig can't help here.

You could try setting the browser.tabs.opentabfor.doubleclick pref to true in about:config, which would change the behavior of Enter/Double Click in Mail & Newsgroups.

I am long-time user of keyconfig, but after upgrading to Firefox 15 all my buttons stopped working.
I guess it has something to do with the fact i am using special characters "Ć Ž Đ".

But they dont work... and i am at a loss how to make it work again.
Any suggestions?

UPDATE: I found what the problem was. Keyconfig writes all characters into prefs.js in uppercase, but for those special characters it needed to be in lowercase (i have combination of CTRL + ć...).
All good again, but i think other people might have similar problems.

That might have been the same issue rahul encountered (see above), it does work again in Firefox 16.

- Is there a way to make them appears in the source and so access them with a short cut giving the content of the source ?

Assuming similar to the copy source code, you could try something like

Code: Select all

var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("GET", "view-source:"+content.location, false);
request.send(null);

var src = request.responseText;
src = src.replace(/<link[^]*?rel=['"]stylesheet['"][^]*?>/g, function(match){
 match.match(/href=['"](.*?)['"]/);
 request = new XMLHttpRequest();
 var p = RegExp.$1;
 request.open("GET", "view-source:"+( p.indexOf(":") > -1 ? p : content.location.href.match(".*/") + p), false);
 try { request.send(null); } catch(err){};
 return "<style><![CDATA["+request.responseText+"]]></style>";
});

src = src.replace(/@import.*?['"](.*?)['"]\)?(.*?);/g, function(match, p1, p2){
 request = new XMLHttpRequest();
 request.open("GET", "view-source:"+( p1.indexOf(":") > -1 ? p1 : content.location.href.match(".*/") + p1), false);
 try { request.send(null); } catch(err){};
 return p2 ? "@media"+p2+"{\n"+request.responseText+"\n}" : request.responseText;
});

src = src.replace(/(<script[^]*?src=['"](.*?)['"][^]*?>)\s*(<\/script>)/g, function(match, p1, p2, p3){
 request = new XMLHttpRequest();
 request.open("GET", "view-source:"+( p2.indexOf(":") > -1 ? p2 : content.location.href.match(".*/") + p2), false);
 try { request.send(null); } catch(err){};
 return p1+"<![CDATA["+request.responseText+"]]>"+p3;
});

var ClipboardHelper = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/clipboardhelper;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboardHelper);

ClipboardHelper.copyString(src.replace(/\n/g,"\r\n"));

- Is there a way to access the value (result given in the clipboard) of a js variable (name given in the clipboard) with a short cut ?

Try

Code: Select all

var target = content.wrappedJSObject;
var steps = readFromClipboard().split(".");
while(steps.length)
 target = target[steps.shift()];

var ClipboardHelper = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/clipboardhelper;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboardHelper);

ClipboardHelper.copyString(target); 

, but be aware of Accessing unsafe properties.

Both issues resolved; probably by upgrading to FF 16.0.1 (ubuntu).

Why it didn't work (for a few FF releases, starting with FF 13, see below) remains a mystery to me;

Due to version range, maybe it was the same issue rahul and agiz encountered (see above).

previous code for "copy link location" work,but "copy link text" not working for me?

Try

Code: Select all

if(XULBrowserWindow.overLink)
 for (var i = 0, links = content.document.links, l = links.length ; i < l; i++)
  if(XULBrowserWindow.overLink == (gURLBar._mayTrimURLs ? trimURL(links[i].href) : links[i].href)) {
   Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/clipboardhelper;1"]
   .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboardHelper)
   .copyString(links[i].text);

   break;
  } 

and code for "options"?

Try

Code: Select all

openDialog("chrome://colt/content/options.xul", "", "centerscreen,resizable=no"); 

I enabled Click to play feature by go to about:config -> change plugins.click_to_play to true.
But I want a hotkey to active all plugin in page, please help me, thanks!

Try

Code: Select all

gPluginHandler.activatePlugins(content);

Thank dorando
Worked like a charm!

[Hamid_Y2K]

Thank you dorando.
It works again.

hello

i find hard to create new key bindings

i was expecting some easy gui like this:

http://cdn.ghacks.net/wp-content/upload ... rtcuts.png

but it seems it isnt available??

any easy tutorial? (easy = commands names are clearly expressing what they do)

[WildcatRay]

It's pretty straight forward. (For those who may not know, the code is added in the lower box of the Add a new key dialog.)

To add the key sequence to activate the code, with the item you want to add or change the key sequence to, highlight it and then press the key sequence you want it to be and then press the Apply button.

Hope this helps.

-how do i compose the *CODE*? I know this link: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension:_Firefox but it has only few examples...
-what the 'global' tickbox does?
-creating a new key, it mentions in 'name' this: key1352585746056. i supposedly change it to whatever i want? to something relevant with the action it will perform?

To write the code, you need to be a coder (I'm not one) and know how to go through Firefox, Thunderbird, etc. code to ID what it is you want to do (also something I am not).

I don't know what the Global box is, either.

Yes, you can name the new key whatever you want. I named a key that I added with the help of others here "Check for Update..." because it checks for updates to Firefox or Thunderbird.

I think most on here ask for help for whatever they wish to add to their program and those who know what to do graciously provide the code for them.

okay

I want to
go to the 'tab right from the current tab', when i press '1'
and
go to the 'tab left from the current tab', when i press '2'

obviously this should NOT work when the cursor is inside a text box, either in a webpage or the address bar, search bar, etc

also, when i click 1 or 2, the search bar shouldnt show up, while it should show up when i type other stuff (i have enabled the 'search as you type' option)

any hint?

I don't know how to program that, but until someone comes around who does you can use the built-in shortcuts:

• Ctrl+PgUp for "Next tab leftwards"
• Ctrl+PgDn for "Next tab rightwards"

Both of them work round-robin: "next right" of the last tab is the first one, and "next left" from the first one is the last one.

thanks anyway

something else, anyone know the CODE for "paste & go" ???

-how do i compose the *CODE*? I know this link: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension:_Firefox but it has only few examples...

Try as a new key

Code: Select all

function getCommand(event) {
 window.removeEventListener("command", getCommand, true);
 event.preventDefault();
 event.stopPropagation();

 alert(event.originalTarget.getAttribute("oncommand") || event.originalTarget.getAttribute("onclick"));
}

window.addEventListener("command", getCommand, true); 

and click on a menuitem/button after pressing the combination for the new key (does work for many, but not all UI elements).

-what the 'global' tickbox does?

By default a <key> will only be created for windows of the same type as the one selected from the drop down (most likely the main application window), ticking that box makes the <key> available for all window types (since the available functions are different in other window types, the code might need to be adjusted to actually work).

go to the 'tab right from the current tab', when i press '1'

Try

Code: Select all

gBrowser.tabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(1,true); 

go to the 'tab left from the current tab', when i press '2'

Try

Code: Select all

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

obviously this should NOT work when the cursor is inside a text box, either in a webpage or the address bar, search bar, etc

also, when i click 1 or 2, the search bar shouldnt show up, while it should show up when i type other stuff (i have enabled the 'search as you type' option)

The application does all the handling, but due to the way things work, the 'search as you type' code runs before any <key> (keyconfig adds/modifies those).

You could try to built an extension modifying the 'search as you type' code by opening your Profile and create within the extensions folder a folder named userxul@nobody containing:

install.rdf

Code: Select all

  this.removeEventListener(event.type, tempFunction, false);

  window.eval("gFindBar._shouldFastFind ="+ gFindBar._shouldFastFind.toString().replace(
  /( *)(var elt)/,
  '$1// userxul@nobody\n'+
  '$1if (aEvent.charCode == 49 || aEvent.charCode == 50)\n'+
  '$1  return false;\n\n'+
  '$1$2'));

 },false);
]]></script>

</overlay>

(note that the files should not contain any space at the start).

[…], anyone know the CODE for "paste & go" ???

Try

Code: Select all

gURLBar.select(); goDoCommand('cmd_paste'); gURLBar.handleCommand();
