I use Conkeror %^) under Windows XP %^(. (I was hoping to mention the version of Conkeror, but I find that M-x conkeror-version merely comes back with "$CONKEROR_VERSION$".)
I have at last succeeded in installing the nonhistorical Conkeror (my difficulty in doing so was due to a trivial error in downloading the installation), and am happy and grateful to say that *all* the bugs I complained about while using the Firefox version have disappeared. Having enjoyed this luxury for a few weeks, I have a few complaints & suggestions: I have 20/20 vision, but I find the little numbers identifying links (white on red background) hard to read at the default magnification; it takes close attention to distinguish the digits 3, 6, 8, & 9. I can make them legible by zooming, but that is two nuisances. Is there some way to change the font to something a little bolder? (Even changing the color from white to black might do the job.) In that respect, the historical Conkeror was much better. It would be nice if (not just in Conkeror, but in Windows & Microsoft Word & Firefox & the rest of the universe; but let's stay on topic) text windows -- particularly those that are expecting a URL or a filename -- used a serif monospace font such as Courier, rather than the wretched little sans serif font in which it is often hard to be sure I have typed what I intended to. It has kerning problems (notoriously, "rn" & "m" are only microscopically distinguishable), and narrow characters such as "l" & "i" are sometimes obscured by the cursor. My other comments have to do with the intimacy of communication between Conkeror & Emacs. I was delighted to find (what was not so before) that when I do cmd_copy (M-w, etc.), the region appears, not just in the Windows clipboard, but in the Emacs kill ring. It would also be convenient if the Emacs commands insert-file and write-region were available in Conkeror. I was disappointed to find that edit-current-field-in-external-editor does not yet work under Windows. It will greatly improve my quality of life when it does; I hope that is in the works. Finally, at present when I use browse-url to get from Emacs to Conkeror, it always starts a new window. Is there a way to tell it to use an existing Conkeror window if there is one? That is the way Firefox and the historical Conkeror used to behave. Thank you for your attention. -- --- Joe Fineman [EMAIL PROTECTED] ||: Sanity itself is a form of politeness. :|| _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
