Conkeror has a mode called overlink-mode which allows you do dislay this kind of information in the minibuffer message area when hovering the mouse over the dom. For an example configuration that will display titles, see: http://retroj.net/git/conkerorrc/overlink.js To your more general question of why Conkeror doesn't have tooltips, the answer is that we take it as a prime directive that the mouse should always be a secondary interface to the keyboard. Everything that Conkeror does should be doable with the keyboard. Compromise on this point and we would lose our way and our reason for being. In fact I have written a keyboard-driven tooltips module in an experimental branch I am working on. It's called 'annotate', and it's described here: http://bugs.conkeror.org/issue169 -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
