Is this possible? I know little about IE.

My partner predominantly uses IE11 because it is highly compatible with Dragon Naturally Speaking voice recognition software, but for some pages or links she likes K-M.

After much searching I found these reg files to send a page to chrome or ff from IE

https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/ie-extension-open-web-page-different-browser/

The chrome one works for my chromium (I don't have ff installed).

Can these reg files be adapted to open k-m?

(files need to be placed in Windows\Web folder root - not in a subfolder)

No idea of such stuff. You probably know more ;-)

Had a quick look at the Firefox addon, but looks complicated.
The Edge-addon too.
But the Chrome-addon looks quite simple!

Would just try to copy that one, and rename all "Chrome" to "K-Meleon" or kmeleon
Hmm, but no clue what those number queues in the reg-file mean...
If you have Chrome installed and FF not, perhaps better to copy the REG file of Firefox...

Then in file "chrome.htm":

sCmd = "chrome.exe" + " -- " + oParent.document.URL
sCmd = "kmeleon.exe" + " " + oParent.document.URL

Depending on how KM is installed, it may need the full path here, not just the exe, but you know better

I know how to click on a reg file - that's about it.

Unfortunately, my first instinct - simply replacing chrome and ff entries in the reg & htm files - didn't work


I'll play around with your suggestions.

I don't have a clue either, but fiddling with a custom protocol, could be done too. Instead clicking a fancy button, write km:// in front of the current URL. "km://http://kmeleonbrowser.org";

Note that this is just experimental.


kmprotocol.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\km]
"URL Protocol"=""
@="URL:HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol)"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\km\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\km\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\km\shell\open\command]
@="cmd /c kmprotocol.bat \"%1\""

kmprotocol.bat to be placed in your execution paths (one resulting on the command "set path" in a console)

set kmprotocolurl=%1
set kmpath=["pathtoyourkmeleon.exe- between quotes and without leading spaces after the equal ="]
start "" %kmpath% "%kmprotocolurl:~6%"

That was fun! - k-m opened 39 tabs (max set) when I tried it. Luckily
if was for a light, text only web page.

Weird. I said it was experimental, anyway, despite it works here.

You can debug it by placing rem before the start command (that sets the line as a comment) and add a pause at the end of the bat.

You'll be able to see what is being sent to the start command that way.

If it is that the url isn't being cut appropriately, you can change de number there.

Anyway, the result you should see is
start "" kmeleonpathbetweenquotes urlbetweenqoutes

set kmprotocolurl=%1
set kmpath=["pathtoyourkmeleon.exe- between quotes and without leading spaces after the equal ="]
rem start "" %kmpath% "%kmprotocolurl:~6%"
pause

My bad. Thanks for your assistance.

I typed the km prefix into K-m by mistake. lol

Works fine from IE

Many thanks
