Love KMeleon, there are two IE shortcuts I'd really recommend adopting:
1) Backspace goes back a page (unless your focus is in a text field)
2) The Intellimouse explorer back button works.

thanks, and keep up the good work!

Boy! Do i agree with the above recommendations. My only reason for using IE is the backspace support. This is such a natural thing!

One other request. The ability to disable request plugins so you are no longer prompted to install them. ie. I will NOT install flash. Flash is from the devil himself (and as expected is used by alot of spam sites). Each time the flash plugin comes up I have to click cancel. It would not nice to have an "always" disabled feature for this plugin.

My Two Cents.

p.s - Great Job!

pps. - Lower the memory footprint and you have a browser I would be willing to pay for! (upto 29MB on Win 2000 right now!, cache set at 10MB mem.)

yeah, ditto on the disabling the plugin fetching thinger...

some other recommendations on shortcuts:

- ctrl + l: location bar
- tab: scroll through elements INCLUDING the location bar
- a crtl + tab that actualy writes a \t on a textarea element

I agree! I use ctl - L all the time and am surprised that it's missing

Currently, the URL\Location bar is mapped to CRTL-D [based on IE]. You want to use CTRL-L?? Go into Edit - Preferences - Configs and select the Accelerators tab. Add the following line:

CTRL L = ID_SELECT_URL

Click on OK and say YES to the change.

Restart the browser and you can now use CTRL-L

Andrew

actually, isn't Ctrl-D in IE mapped to 'save to favorites' by default?

--- po

Po,

Not as far as I can tell in IE 6. CTRL-B opens up Favorites. Alt-A and Enter saves to Favorites.

Andrew

oh... i never went past 5.5 (and don't intend to).

ctrl-d has always been the quick way to grab a favorite since i can recall... it doesn't bring up a dialog with a folder list or anything... just adds it.

--- po

Po,

Hmm...and I was told that CTRL-D always went to the Location bar. Guess I'm going to need to do some investigating here.

Andrew

well, you had me doubting my sanity, so i did a quick search:

some results go back a ways, version wise... now i feel old. =)

Po,

Good thing I'm not betting drinks here.
:-)
You're right. In IE, it's ALT-D that takes you to the URL bar. Funny, I was sure I was doing CTRL-D but apparently not. So, we probably need to correct that in the Accelerators so that CTRL-D isn't used for that purpose.

Andrew

Yeah, doesn't F4 take you to the type-in bar in 95% of windows programs with one?
I want backspace for Back too...and I can't find any combination at all that lets you go forward and back.....

Ah, I foudn the forward and back, but I can't find how to close one window, like IE's ctrl-w to close the current one. How could I do that in kmeleon?

You can close one window by simply hitting ALT F4. To completely exit K-Meleon when multiple windows are open, just keep hitting ALT F4, or you can hit control-alt f4 to close all windows.

Oh, and one thing(I'm sure you're hearing a lot of this) is to correct the issue with backspace using the ID_NAV_BACK function when in a text entry field

Whoops, what I meant was I can't find the ID_ thing to assign a key combo to close one window, I want ctrl-w to handle it but so far I can only make it close them all.

does ID_FILE_CLOSE do the trick?

Certainly does, thank you
