keyconfig 20110522

[dorando]

I used this command to "Hide/Show TabBar":
"gBrowser.mStrip.collapsed = !gBrowser.mStrip.collapsed;"

But it doesn't work any more in Firefox 4 (with "Tabs on Top" disabled).

Would appreciate any suggestions for a shortcut key to Hide/Show TabBar ! Thanks.

Try

Code: Select all

gBrowser.tabContainer.parentNode.collapsed = !gBrowser.tabContainer.parentNode.collapsed; 

I am using TreeStyleTab and this works on Top/Bottom tabbar position however if the tabbar is on Left/Right, it only toggles the visibility of tabs but not the BAR (placeholder). Any advice?
Thanks a lot.

Try

Code: Select all

gBrowser.tabContainer.parentNode.collapsed = !gBrowser.tabContainer.parentNode.collapsed;
gBrowser.treeStyleTab.splitter.hidden = !gBrowser.treeStyleTab.splitter.hidden;
gBrowser.treeStyleTab.splitter.previousSibling.hidden = !gBrowser.treeStyleTab.splitter.previousSibling.hidden; 

I used MenuManipulator to get the correct code from "Restore Previous Session" in history menu

Does MenuManipulator work like this(?)

1. You select an element from a menu.
2. The keyconfig(-like) code it uses can be copy and pasted.

Is that right?

Also - does it work inside the context-menu too?

For those with an oncommand you can get it with MenuManipulator, but you could also use the following with keyconfig (before clicking on a menu item)

Code: Select all

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

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

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

Now, can you help me a hotkey to Flush DNS Cache like these addons:
https://addons.mozilla.org/vi/firefox/addon/dns-cache/
https://addons.mozilla.org/vi/firefox/a ... s-flusher/

Try

Code: Select all

var networkIoService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIOService);
networkIoService.offline = true;
var cacheService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/cache-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsICacheService);
cacheService.evictEntries(Components.interfaces.nsICache.STORE_ANYWHERE);
networkIoService.offline = false; 

[…] on Firefox 4.0 it is not possible to see the menu of "MenuManipulator", because no menu item is available (why not?), and i don't know other way to run this extension.

The menu item is still listed in the Tools menu in the Menu Bar (unhide it by pressing Alt or through Firefox Button > Options > Menu Bar).

How to set a Hotkey in Keyconfig to run "MenuManipulator”?

Try

Code: Select all

openDialog('chrome://menumanipulator/content/main.xul', '_blank', 'resizable', window); 

That didn't work for me, the only thing it does is to minimize when active, further nothing

Anything in the Error Console?
Did you set the key to global? (Note that you need to disable/enable the linked extension after setting a key to global).

Hello dorando,
I followed your instructions, nothing happens, it only minimizes it when active, and there is the following message in the error console on Firefox startup

Code: Select all

Warning: WARN addons.xpi: Exception running bootstrap method startup on keyconfig-global@dorando: TypeError: expected type unsigned_int, got (void 0)

Try

Code: Select all
var networkIoService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIOService);
networkIoService.offline = true;
var cacheService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/cache-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsICacheService);
cacheService.evictEntries(Components.interfaces.nsICache.STORE_ANYWHERE);
networkIoService.offline = false;

Thank you so much, work perfect!

Have a nice day~

hi dorando,

I have also tested this version before I asked you.

openDialog('chrome://menumanipulator/content/main.xul', '_blank', 'resizable', window);

but it is not possible to.

The menu item is still listed in the Tools menu in the Menu Bar (unhide it by pressing Alt or through Firefox Button > Options > Menu Bar).

I know. But i wont to use the new variant of Firefox, without the Menu Bar (because it is more place). Why they are no settings for MenuManipulator regular in Add-Ons? It is possible and how can i put a Menu-Item from a Add-On in the now Firefox-Menu, without to switch every time to the old Menu Bar?

What command should I bind to a key to open about:config?

[Cattleya]

What command should I bind to a key to open about:config?

Try:
To open in the current tab:

Code: Select all

gBrowser.loadURI("about:config")

To open in new tab:

Code: Select all

gBrowser.addTab("about:config")

[Alan Baxter]

Thanks, Cattleya. Works great.

Try again with version 20110428 which fixes an issue causing it to stop registering shortcuts if any disabled global shortcuts exist, and hopefully improves the error reporting.

I have also tested this version before I asked you.

openDialog('chrome://menumanipulator/content/main.xul', '_blank', 'resizable', window);

but it is not possible to.

Works for me, anything in the Error Console?

The menu item is still listed in the Tools menu in the Menu Bar (unhide it by pressing Alt or through Firefox Button > Options > Menu Bar).

I know. But i wont to use the new variant of Firefox, without the Menu Bar (because it is more place).

Pressing Alt only unhides temporarily…

Why they are no settings for MenuManipulator regular in Add-Ons?

Adding the MenuManipulator window as a Options dialog likely requires some changes to the code to work as supposed, something I had no time to investigate, and is low priority since it can still be easily accessed by using Alt + the appropriates accesskeys.

It is possible and how can i put a Menu-Item from a Add-On in the now Firefox-Menu, without to switch every time to the old Menu Bar?

MenuManipulator can't currently edit the Firefox Button since it is not a proper menu, you can use Personal Menu (Personal Firefox Button) to edit it.

Does anyone know how to list all cmd_ commands in Firefox and Thunderbird?

The following code copies most commands to clipboard.

Code: Select all

var tag = new Array();
tag.push("command");
tag.push("broadcaster");
tag.push("key");
tag.push("menuitem");
var collection = new Object();
for (var i = 0; i < tag.length; i++) {
  collection[tag[i]] = document.getElementsByTagName(tag[i]);
}
var out = new Array();
var info = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/xre/app-info;1"].
  getService(Components.interfaces.nsIXULAppInfo);
var type = document.documentElement.getAttribute("windowtype");
out.push(info.name + " " + info.version, "", type);
for (var i in collection) {
  out.push("", "^ " + i, "");
  for (var j = 0; j < collection[i].length; j++) {
    var id = collection[i][j].getAttribute("id");
    var oncommand = collection[i][j].getAttribute("oncommand");
    if (id && oncommand) out.push(id);
  }
}
var clipboard = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/widget/clipboardhelper;1"].
  getService(Components.interfaces.nsIClipboardHelper);
if (navigator.platform.indexOf("Win")) {
  clipboard.copyString(out.join("\n"));
} else {
  clipboard.copyString(out.join("\r\n"));
}
alert("done");

There are some commands absent like cmd_scrollTop from platformHTMLBindings.xml.

view-source:chrome://global/content/platformHTMLBindings.xml

Is it possible to list these commands as well?

I found these lists which are helpful, but not exhaustive.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL/List_of_commands
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension:_Firefox
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_ext ... hunderbird

If anyone does not already know... here is how to execute a command.

Code: Select all

var cmd = "cmd_paste"; // command is implemented by a controller
// var cmd = "cmd_close";
var controller = document.commandDispatcher.getControllerForCommand(cmd);
if (controller) {
  if (controller.isCommandEnabled(cmd)) {
    controller.doCommand(cmd);
  }
} else {
  var element = document.getElementById(cmd);
  if (element) {
    element.doCommand();
  }
}

Code: Select all

// succeeds since command is implemented by a controller
goDoCommand("cmd_paste");

Code: Select all

// fails
goDoCommand("cmd_close");

Code: Select all

// succeeds
document.getElementById("cmd_close").doCommand();

I think the Keyconfig Thunderbird page should mention the doCommand function.

Is it possible to change the default key combination for switching tabs "ctrl+tab" with this combination "alt+~" ?


Thanks!

hi dorando & co,

just noted a minor behavioural change:

hitting s would hitherto toggle star / unstar (bookmark) the current tab:

Code: Select all

if(PlacesStarButton._starred) {
 StarUI._itemId = PlacesUtils.getMostRecentBookmarkForURI(gBrowser.currentURI);
 StarUI.removeBookmarkButtonCommand();
} else {
 PlacesCommandHook.bookmarkCurrentPage(false);
} 

Now, unfortunately, the unstar bit does not work anymore.

Help much appreciated , no rush at all; enjoy your weekend !!!

I was looking for a piece of code to toggle showing only starred messages in thunderbird using keyconfig, but was unable to find it. So I digged into thunderbird's source code and here is something that seems to do the trick (which I mapped to shift+S). Maybe it can help someone else!

Code: Select all

QuickFilterBarMuxer._showFilterBar(true);
// these 2 lines are optional, but I prefer to always make filters sticky
document.getElementById("qfb-sticky").checked = true;
QuickFilterBarMuxer.activeFilterer.setFilterValue("sticky", true);

var domNode = document.getElementById("qfb-starred");
domNode.checked = !domNode.checked;
if (domNode.checked) {
  QuickFilterBarMuxer.activeFilterer.setFilterValue("starred", true);
} else {
  QuickFilterBarMuxer.activeFilterer.setFilterValue("starred", null);
}
QuickFilterBarMuxer.deferredUpdateSearch();

I recently got a new computer and I'm now using Firefox 4.0.1. I was using keyconfig before and I'd like to get it back.

Where can I download a copy of keyconfig that will work in Windows for Firefox 4.0.1?

Where can I find a list of the Codes too?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks dorando, you always save me
