Enhanced History Manager 0.5.8.05 (Dec 28 update)

CyberSlug · Post by **CyberSlug** » July 18th, 2004, 5:59 pm

Could there be an option to make Enhanced History Manager "replace" the built-in history manager?
I'd really like Ctrl+H (or View > Sidebar > History) to bring up EHM, if possible.

Keep up the great work

thanks for the compliment.....

to my understnding, u really can't change a key easily like that, since it would involve changing stuff in the actual browser unless u do it by intercepting the Hot Key (which is waaaaaaaay over my head..... lol. If u don't do that then u will have a key conflict.... Since Ctrl+H is history i chose Ctrl+SHift+H since it was so similar (and unused)

there was an extension around that allowed u to change the hotkeys assignments.....you might want to look at that to see if it helps... u might want to do a forum search or post a new topic if that fails, or make a request.....

at depending on how much more funtionality I'll add and maybe a few othe

Always play around ...lol that's how u learn... but seriously... u can always backup copy your history.dat to save your history.....

It'd be nice if you added some alt text to that button.

Maybe something like... Active Columns

i don't think it has a label attached that can be edited (at least by me)....
actually it's really an image

Oh, well somebody'll see it and pass it along to the right ears.

Is there any way I can change the hotkey to reach this extension from CTRL+SHIFT+H to just the regular History hotkey of CTRL+H? Thanks.

Awesome extension =)

If the Ctrl+Shift+H --> Ctrl+H change is difficult, could you find a way for the normal history menu to list URLs instead of wepage titles???

I would just like for it to use the default history button.

as i mentioned before http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... 539#659539 that would be a problem (for me) but if u want it like that here's how to do it on your machine, it's pretty simple.

With FF closed. Firstly, make a backup copy of your browser.jar then
1. Unzip the browser.jar and locate the browser.xul file, and change the line
<key id="key_gotoHistory" key="&historySidebarCmd.commandKey;" command="viewHistorySidebar" modifiers="accel"/>
to
<key id="key_gotoHistory" key="&historySidebarCmd.commandKey;" command="viewHistorySidebar" modifiers="accel,shift"/>

2. rezip it and replace the original browser.jar with this new one

3. then unzip the hcpm.jar and locate the hcpmOverlay.xul file, and change theline
<key id="openHistoryManager" modifiers="accel,shift" .....
and change it to
<key id="openHistoryManager" modifiers="accel" .....
4. rezip it and replace the original hcpm.jar with this new one.

Restart FireFox. the Hotkeys for History & Enhanced History manager are now swapped
(ie History (normal) = Ctrl +Shift+ H
Enhanced History Manager = Ctrl +H)

Why??
Anything against using the included Enhanced History Button

It functions the same way as the default History Button. Plus it has an added feature of MiddleClicking on the Enhanced History Button will bring up a Enhanced History Window (not in a a sidebar).

Worked great, thanks!
Would the level of compression on hcpm.jar affect Firefox performance?
