keyconfig 20110522

Global: yes

Only needed if you want the shortcut available in every window, but that code wouldn't work in any non-browser window.

When I press F12, nothing happens

Anything in the Tools > Error Console (set javascript.options.showInConsole to true in <a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=about:config&oldid=26276">about:config</a>)

OK, found my mistake and it's working now.

Is there a function that close tab only?

Thanks!

[dorando]

In reference to your other post, the simplest way seems to be

Code: Select all

if(gBrowser.mTabs.length == 1) gBrowser.addTab("about:blank");
BrowserCloseTabOrWindow();

Thanks, it works great!

Hi Everyone,

Do you know if it's possible to use Keyconfig to alter the browsing shortcut
CTRL-Tab to CTRL-Shift with this progam?

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.1.1 but the Keyconfig program seems to
be a bit older than that, and I'm not sure it will work.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Jean

Nope, Ctrl+Tab is defined by an eventListener and those can't be supported in a generic way, also Ctrl+Shift alone can't be used by the key handler.

Instead you can create a custom extensions to achieve that by using a blank (.xpi is a .zip) one and pasting following above the </overlay> in overlays/main.xul

Code: Select all

<script><![CDATA[
var ctrlShift = {
 init: function(){
  gBrowser.mTabBox.handleCtrlTab = false;
  window.addEventListener("keydown", ctrlShift._keyEventHandler, false);
 },
 _keyEventHandler: function(event){
  if(!event.isTrusted || event.altKey || event.metaKey) return;
  if(event.ctrlKey && event.shiftKey && event.keyCode == 16) {
   gBrowser.mTabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(1,true);

   event.stopPropagation();
   event.preventDefault();
  }
 }
}

window.addEventListener("load",ctrlShift.init,false);

]]></script>

Note because this would prevent you from using any Ctrl+Shift combinations I've added

Code: Select all

&& event.keyCode == 16

so that those can still work if you first press shift. Also note that if you want Ctrl+Tab to work in addition you can remove the

Code: Select all

gBrowser.mTabBox.handleCtrlTab = false;

line.

What would be the CODE to go to previous tab and next tab? I want to map it to a function key instead of ctrl-page-down

Thanks!

Thanks Dorando,

Have decided to leave it as it is, because it looks a little
difficult for this code challenged individual!

Much appeciated anyway, and will pass it on to another
contact who also wants the info.

Cheers

i had started a new thread, but maybe this is the place to be for this.

keyconfig 20060828.1 worked up to ff 2.0.0.11. now it doesn't work in 2.0.0.12.

i had read that some changes could be made to the install.rdf and the jar file, etc. but in ff .11 the keyconfig folder was empty.

i found a "bumped" up version that was supposed to be up to ff version 3.0, but i got a 404 error when i clicked install.

will you be updating keyconfig any time soon?

thanks,
kdd6

Previous Tab

Code: Select all

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

Next Tab

Code: Select all

gBrowser.mTabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(1,true);

Note that without the

Code: Select all

,true

it won't wrap.

Compatibility information has been updated, you likely need to click on Tools > Add-ons > Find Updates (ignore the incorrect message at the top, only the one below the extension name is correct).

Note that it is possible to temporarily disable compatibility checking by adding a boolean 'extensions.checkCompatibility' through <a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=about:config&oldid=26276">about:config</a>.

thanks. it's nice to have it working again.

I tried some codes for toggling findbar but they didn't work on Fx 3.0b3
Can somebody provide a new one?

edit: oh, nevermind, found it myself

Code: Select all

gFindBar.hidden ? gFindBar.onFindCommand() : gFindBar.close();

Is there a proper way/function to do key double-pressed? The following is my try:

Code: Select all

if (document.keypressed) {
  // reset
  document.keypressed=false;
  // code for double-pressed
} else {
  document.keypressed=true;
  function keysinglepressed() {
    if (document.keypressed) {
      // reset
      document.keypressed=false;     
      // code for single-pressed
    }
  }
  setTimeout(keysinglepressed, 600);
}

Thanks for any comment.

Is there an update yet for Keyconfig for Thunderbird 2.0.0.12?

Thanks Dorando!

Not that I know of.
