UZBL-browser scripts in antiX-17 Debian Stretch

It’s my very first scripts isju..

Ok I changed some ‘keyboard shortcuts’ in UZBL script1_config
so i can stay most on a close aria on the keyboard

(but you can change everything in that script1_config file)

o= follow by number
‘= follow by text
0= open url
,= scroll vertical 450
.= scroll -vertical -450
l= go back
a= go forward
g= load bookmarks
h= load history
]]= go next page
[[= go prev pag
1= zoom 100%
2= zoom 120%
3= zoom 135%
4= zoom 200%
5= zoom 235%
+= zoom +
-= zoom –
z= toggle zoom type
t= toggle show status
y= toggle show tablist
b= new tab
n= next tab
m= prev tab
q= close tab

A enter= antixforum.com 🙂
G enter= google.com
Y enter= youtube.com
f enter= facebook.com

Facebook shortcuts

Shift + i= activate the keys

Script 3
download,

Give it the name, download.sh
Put it in, /usr/share/uzbl/examples/scripts

☟

#!/bin/sh
# uzbl’s example configuration sets this script up as its download_handler.

# a download is requested using the ‘download’ command.
#
# if the script prints a file path to stdout, uzbl will save the download to
# that path using it’s internal downloader.
#
# if nothing is printed to stdout, the internal download will be cancelled.
# you could do your own download handling in your script that way.

# if $5 is set, it is the path that was passed to uzbl’s “download” command.
# we want to use that if it’s available.
[ -n “$5” ] && echo “$5” && exit

Thanks for going to the effort of posting. I don’t know if it might be too much for me. I did install it and get it to open a browser window, but I will try to find a tutorial to help me understand more how it should work. I’m sure its more than just me interested in this.

I agree there will be others who can benefit. Perhaps you might consider documenting your experiences as you explore the browser with new eyes. Once one becomes accustomed to something it is often difficult to recall what it was like seeing it for the first time, and what obstacles were overcome to get it working as you wanted.

It is most likely the majority of users will only have used the monolithic, fully or over featured, heavyweight web browsers. To them the concept of a build-your-own-browser is going to appear extraordinary and potentially daunting. It might be possible to amalgamate all the emerging usage and learning into something that will assist a user move from position zero to a working outcome.

I installed the version from the repos, which looks to be what you said to install here, but I noticed in the web browsers thread you were running a version from github.

Are you able to play youtube videos? They get a fuzzy screen error and the troubleshooting thing says install chrome, LOL.

Normal web pages seem to do fine, but I do miss the “back button”. I’ll look more to see if its on the keyboard someplace. I see it does have a download function that works as well as the ability to open a link in this window or a new one.

I am thinking that to run uzbl as my daily driver that I would need to have a Home web page that I would start from when I wasn’t going into a specific site from a menu or other link, and that Home webpage would include a link to a history page and a bookmarks page and the links to my favorite sites. I could navigate from there, and have keys designated to

Add site to Favorites
Edit Favorites
Add site to Bookmarks
Edit Bookmarks
Go to Home page
Go back one page
Go forward one page

I have to think a lot more on this as to whether this is something I could cobble together or create from the code of others, or whether I should just be running code, blindly, like the other 99.7%, LOL.

PS: It looks like you are covering at least most of the above. I suppose it isn’t necessary to be able to edit the bookmarks and favorites from the browser, as this could be done from the system menu pretty easily in Geany bringing up all uzbl related configuration files at once.

I have gstreamer and youtube-dl, as they are installed by default with AntiX-Full. I need to be able to play videos easily. A keystroke pair to stream/download would be fine, especially if it streamed/played the video as it downloaded and allowed me to save the download optionally or by default.

I was able to navigate better once I found the keyboard mapping. I have laptops, so the keys that are convenient are many times different, and the default keymap that came in the repos is very unusual for me. I would prefer the keymaps to be similar to the browsers I am required to use at work to make it easy to adapt, and am able to figure out how to do those kinds of things, usually.

I will try your method in the next few days.

It might be worth looking at Streamlight. It works with any app including any browser, even if they do not natively support video. It also works well with ancient, resource limited kit, because of the very low demands it places on the system.
