Re: [dev] [surf] link hinting
Did anyone implemented links hinting without java script? Why would you want that? It would be hundreds of lines of tremendously ugly C-code for navigating the DOM, creating CSS, installing key handlers... The reason I switched javascript on default is… quite embarrassing. I use compiled form git surf with debian unstable libraries, and with javascript I experience strange crushes. For example if I follow a link from wikipædia page. I have no idea what is broken. It is certainly not surf. The same happens with Midori. s.
[dev] [dwm] problem with xbanish
Comrades, I use xbanish (https://github.com/jcs/xbanish) with dwm. The trouble is that if I try to take a screenshoot with import or xwd the cursor is supposed to changed from an arrow to a cross. Alas, as the cursor gets hidden (when I type the command) it will not reappear as a cross even if I move it. I need to type something like sleep 1;import filename and move the cursor before it gets changed. I do not have this problem with openbox and xbanish. Would you know hot to get reasonable behaviour with dwm? Sincerely, S. R. Gal
Re: [dev] Screencasts?
For example, if I find an article on the web I want to come back to, I will copy the URL from the address bar, It depends on the browser you are using and how it communicates with you. I installed iceweasel to do the test and xprop gives me half a dozen of text icons bu no… url I am reading. Then I thought that there must have been a reason why I stopped using mainstream browsers. Programs without text output (no matter how fancy pictures they render) suck. Of coarse, if your browser has an address bar, you still can use key bindings program of your liking to cat your clipboard to doc/toread. Sincerely, S. R. Gal
Re: [dev] Re: Talk about suckless
* How do the distributions offer software configured by compiling? (question from audience) As far as Debian based distributions go, i think they just ship the defaults as binary package. This is not quite true. There is `apt-get source' and few tools to build a custom package. However there is not much of advantage of this approach over compiling from sources (easy removal is all I can think of). s.
[dev] [dmenu] handling space(?)
If I run `echo lorem|dmenu` and then type lorem lRET dmenu selects 'lorem' not 'lorem l' if I type lorem i the ouptput is lorem i as expected. Seems like a bug to me, am I wrong? s.
Re: [dev] [dmenu] handling space(?)
strings separated by space are considered to be separate tokens describing the same menu entry. What is a possible use of it? Could I easily disable this feature? If you want to return lorem l in your case press SHIFT+ENTER to select the string. I know. I just got annoyed by... forggeting to press SHIFT. s.

-- From Swiatoslaw Gal 19-06-2012 at 11:23 -- Is anyone planning to port surf for gtk3? I ask because surf on my (unstable) debian machine stopped working. gdb returns few times: @0: event.layerX and event.layerY are broken and deprecated in WebKit. They will be removed from the engine in the near future. Just before Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. Any hint? s. ps. I freshly compiled surf from suckless git.
[dev] xid of a current window
How can I get a xid of a focused window? Like with xprop, but without user interaction. Say, I want to write an program that would log the xid of a currently focused window every second. Sincerely, s.

Re: [dev] xid of a current window
You could use the focused window instead (which was what you originally asked about): $ xdotool getwindowfocus 48234505 Yes, this works fine (without any today's patches). But the very first answer: XGetInputFocus was _exactly_ what I was looking for. Is there a reason that a _window_manager_ provides EHWHMS... whatever support? This can be done with an external program, am I wrong? s.

[dev] dwm: strange statusbar behaviour
Dear gals and guys, I have an old thinkpad tablet, which I use as a desktop (the screen got broken and I detached it). It starts, by default, in 1024x768 mode, and then dwm and its statusbar work fine. If I correct the resolution to the monitor specification (eg. 1280x1024) either by xrandr, or tweaking xorg.conf, there is something strange. When I click on tags in the statusbar the highlight changes, but the tags stay the same. Contrary, if I use alt-# I switch tags, but with no effect on the status bar. Also, no little squares indicating windows in tags are shown in the statusbar. As if it was referring to a missing laptop display!? Alt-b hides only (right) half of the statusbar. Going down to 1024x768 cancels all those weird effects. Any idea? Sincerely, s.

Sorry, you aren't giving us enough information to figure out what's wrong. What keyboard layout are you using? Are you using any special input methods, etc? Sorry for being out of the mailing list for a while. I use the following keyboard layout/input method: setxkbmap -option compose:rctrl us I would like to be able to insert composed characters in dmenu. Some time ago (on 16th of October) Troels Henriksen suggested a patch that I was trying (lamely, I suppose) to apply to dmenu-4.2.1 (as shipped by Debian). As result, I can input compose characters, but neither forward arrow nor End key do not work. My C is too basic to understand what the patch should do. So I repeat my original question: can dmenu be made to accept composed characters? Sincerely, s.
[dev] [dmenu] composite key not working/weird arrow behaviour
I was careless with my last email. The behaviour of arrows is broken
not in dmenu, but in the following patch. The right (forward) arrow stopped

Sincerely,

Here's a patch that solves the common cases. There's a ton of potential
issues (complex Unicode in the input) that may require more reworking,
but this patch makes dead keys work for any of the cases on my communist
European keyboard.

[dev] [dmenu] weird arrows behaviour
Left (back) arrow works in dmenu well. Right (forward) does not do anything. Is it a bug or feature? Cordially, s.

[dev] [surf] Diacritics
I have a strange issue with google translate in surf. It returns mess for non-English characters (umlauts to start with). For example, if I enter Cyrillic it is lost in auto-detect mode. Guessing Spanish!? And, of coarse, choosing language manually would not help. Same time there are no problems with this neither in Wikipedia nor Leo dictionary. Google translate works well with other webkit browsers (jumanji, luakit). Any hint? s.

[dev] [surf] browser identification
Hi, imbeciles coding sucking webpages check how the browser identifies itself. And if it is not sucking browser instead of desired content I get some ad about downloading sucking software. All I can check is for example aruljohn.com which tells me Your browser is Unknown Browser. At the same time luakit results with Mozilla 5.0 while jumanji with Safari 5.0. But I am too blind to find anything relevant in their codes. How can I patch surf to identify as one of those? Thanks, s.
[dev] [surf] arrows
Do the arrows are intend to be useful with surf? I experience strange behaviour. First hit takes me to the the top or bottom of the page. Then they allow me to scroll. Is it a bug or a feature? I did try to define bindings in the config file, but then it messes with desired behaviour in pages with forms. Is there a reason (not) to bind home/end buttons? s.
Re: [dev] [surf] arrows
The solution is to turn off spatial navigation. Spatial navigation is not that bad. But, the annoying bug/feature is that the _first_ hit down brings me to the last link. Can this be avoided? Does anyone has a patch to bin toggling spatial navigation to some key? s.
