I know this may seem counter-productive, but there are features of IE that I find rather useful which don't appear to exist in KM.

URL autocomplete. When I type a url into the url-bar I expect it to try and fill in the remain portion.

Hyperlink-history. Why doesn't KM change the colour of hyperlinks that I've visited? I've been relying on this feature for as long as I've had www access. Not having this feature makes reading sites like theregister much more time consuming.

If these features already exist then some help in configuring them.

Mozilla has these features already since long ago, this is nothing IE-specific.

Well quite. I'm sure that these features exist in opera and konquerer aswell. But that wasn't my point. They don't (apparently) exist in KM, which is what I'm looking for......

Tom,

Auto-complete is a feature that has been requested a number of times. Hopefully, this will be worked into future releases.

Visited links can be enabled in 0.6 following these instructions:

Speaking of IE, the Properties option under right-click is one of my favourites but I haven't met it in any other browsers. Maybe it should be implemented in K-Meleon? Shouldn't be difficult...

Is there any reason why this feature (visited links) isn't included by default? Its an awful lot of hassle to install for something so simple thats been in browsers for many years.

Tom,

The embedded version of Mozilla that we use doesn't provide this functionality by default. See

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70714

What is provided on my page is the files that provide the functionality. However, the cost is a major increase in file size. I think the decision was made that the bloat was too excessive for just one function.

Andrew

now, if k-meleon were to provide a viewer for the history.dat file, on the other hand... that might justify the added stuff.
