Re: [elinks-users] ELinks hogging CPU?
2009/2/19 Chris Jones cjns1...@gmail.com: A bit of an exaggeration, but I noticed recently that on an idle system top had just about every process using a fraction of 1% CPU while ELinks with 2-3 tabs open on general purpose sites such as google news was using c. 5% CPU. I haven't been able to guess at why this might be happening. Only thing that I noticed is that if I bounce ELinks and reopen the same tabs it will behave for a few hours and then go back to using CPU cycles for no apparent reason.

Since I too use Vim, and have tw=74, I have never had a problem as this is what the rest of planet tend to also wrap their lines to. If you think a paragraph is ever a single line because you believe the person viewing it has a viewer capable of somehow wrapping those lines his/herself, you're wrong. I guess I wasn't clear. I had pasted the code in my previous mail; Below is the actual lua code snippet I use. It calls something called xdialog, which I am guessing is the dialog box that pops up when I press 'S'. The problem is that even though it looks similar to the 'Enter Url' dialog box, this one doesn't have a history. Just put this into 'hooks.lua' in the .elinks directory and press 'S' from elinks.

Ok, then can I map a key so that the 'Go to Url' dialog will pop with

No, but then I find pressing 'g' twice is not too difficult. :) I'll
look at patching the scripting hooks to allow for this -- it is kind of
possible to do, since we already have the 'E' and 'G' bindings, for
instance.
