Summary [Gtk] Launcher functionalities

Reported 2007-12-23 15:38:36 PST
Hello, the GtkLauncher is currently missing some important points for testing rendering and new API. Some points: - Cut/Copy/Paste clipboard API into an "Edit" menu - An Open menu item in a "File" menu for opening local files - A "Bookmarks" menu showing fixed URIs good for testing - A notebook for testing the correct behavior of multiple webviews (i.e. page-loading-related signals)

The bookmarks implementation is cute but I think we should avoid statically hard coding any more URLs into GtkLauncher. Any one else have thoughts on this? (Personally I'd like to see a menu entry to enable/disable editing, but that can be added later of course.)

Comment on attachment 18310 [details] launcher patch Clearing the review flag on this. The functionality is important but it makes GtkLauncher ugly, which is a problem since GtkLauncher is the first thing users see, appears in screenshots, magazines etc. I didn't consider how to make it look better, maybe just a matter of adding more menu entries.

Created attachment 19472 [details] Add navigational keyboard shortcuts to GtkLauncher Here's another enhancement for GtkLauncher, which might be useful for testing history items etc. and makes using the GtkLauncher slightly more pleasant to use. It adds - <Ctrl>-l for activating the url entry - <Meta>-Home for going to start page (google.com really) - <Meta>-Left for going to back in history - <Meta>-Right for going to forward in history AFAIK these should be pretty universally used shortcuts, and at least I'm basing my browser usage to those so not having them is a pain :)

In my opinion this is wasted effort, making a test tool into a browser. We should rather make it easier to run Epiphany or Midori if typing it is too hard.

These days we can test webkitgtk+ with Epiphany and Midori, so after quickly bringing this issue to the IRC channel, I am closing this bug report.
