This is a developers list! (was Re: OS 2008 Web browser scrolling with hardware keys)

[Quim Gil]

Hi,

Please let's make all an effort to keep this list restricted to topics
about development and let's kick off to maemo-users all those topics
interesting for power users (as agreed plenty of times).

Thank you.

Re: OS 2008 Web browser scrolling with hardware keys

[Mike Morrison]

If you press and hold the up or down key it will scroll rather than
jump from link to link.

Re: OS 2008 Web browser scrolling with hardware keys

[tonikitoo (Antonio Gomes)]

hi,

you can disable the "spatial navigation" feature if you want to, just
open a browser window, load "about:config". At "set preference"
related input fields, set "snav.enabled" to "0" . Scroll will be
performed always in that way.

regards

OS 2008 Web browser scrolling with hardware keys

[Daniel M German]

Hi everybody,

I installed OS 2008 two days ago. It is a very nice upgrade. Thank you
to all go have been involved.

The only real annoyance that I have experienced is the different
behaviour of  how the "up" and "down" hardware keys behave inside the
Web browser.

In OS 2007, whenever the currently displayed area of the page did not
have any links, pressing the down key will just scroll down a little
bit. If there was a link below, it will jump to that link.

The current behaviour jumps from link to link, regardless of where in
the page they are.  Once has to scroll with the other hand. 

Jumping from link to link makes for very erratic behaviour, too.

I presume this is a result of moving from the Opera engine to the
Mozilla one, and it might be difficult to implement this feature
exactly the same.

But it would be nice to switch the behaviour of Up and Down to be more
like Up and Down in the computer: just scroll. Or even better, provide
both and let the user choose.

I suspect there is a configuration file somewhere that tells the
browser what to do when the user presses the up/down key? 


thank you!

Which would mean having to deal with SQLite as a dependency of this 
package...

Hi there,

I'm interested in hacking on the volume and light status bar applets. 
I've browsed through SVN a bit, but I can't seem to find the place where 
these are implemented. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Are 
these open source?

I know, that mp3serv no linger supported. But i don't need mp3serv! I need
to run mp3mixer on my device. I wish to use it just for mixing music, stored
on my cards, no shoutcasts and other streaming stuff, just run mp3mixer, so,
if somebody, who understand maemo soundsystem could edit attached
mixer.cfor using it on maemo platform (edit /dev/dsp path or
add/delete some
platform-specific headers etc.) it will be great!

Re: n800 nokia tabletr

[Mohammed Hassan]

Wait for the N810 (This is not an official Nokia answer. It's just me
who is using Arabic and will do what he can to read and maybe write
Arabic on the device.)

Arabic will not work under the N800

Hm.  Don't python bindings offer the same symbolic key names that
are defined in hildon-1/hildon/hildon-defines.h header?
