Hi all, As you likely know, there is a new branch in our git repository called inline-url-panel, which contains a feature by David Kettler that replaces the hints-url-panel with a nicer looking and nicer working inline display in the minibuffer area. Since this is a fairly substantial change to Conkeror's gui and may have long term design effects, I am hoping that anybody able to test the branch before merge will do so, and participate in review. Now I'll get the discussion started with some questions.
Do all of the components of this feature have the best names for what they do? The user variable 'hints_information' is the one I have the most doubt about. Can the annotation be styled by Conkeror's theme system? Is the position of the annotation good, or too close to the minibuffer input? Is this customizable through the theme system? Does the way the annotation changes position as you use the hint system feel natural? For instance, when you type a number, the prompt changes, shifting both input and annotation to the right, but when you type text, the annotation does not move until the input string has exceded a certain width. Does this design feel natural or does it seem like the annotation should move to the right as you type text? Should the hint annotation be enabled by default? -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list Conkeror@mozdev.org https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
