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.

You can change in MY (koolstofje) srcipt1 config, back to the original UZBL @cbind, search in that script!

# Navigation binds
# Uri opening prompts
@cbind o <uri:>_ = uri %s
# Or have it load the current uri into the keycmd for editing
@cbind 0 <uri:\@uri>_ = uri %s
@cbind l = back
@cbind a = forward

# Exit binding
@cbind q = exit

# Page movement binds
@cbind , = scroll vertical 450
@cbind . = scroll vertical -450

# Zoom binds
@cbind + = zoom_in
@cbind – = zoom_out
@cbind z = toggle zoom_type
@cbind 1 = set zoom_level = 1.0
@cbind 2 = set zoom_level = 1.2
@cbind 3 = set zoom_level = 1.45
@cbind 4 = set zoom_level = 2
@cbind 5 = set zoom_level = 2.35

# Web searching binds
@cbind G <Google:>_ = uri http://www.google.com/search?q=\@<encodeURIComponent(%r)>\@
@cbind f <Facebook:>_ = uri https://www.facebook.com/
@cbind A <Antixforum:>_ = uri https://www.antixforum.com/
@cbind Y <Youtube:>_ = uri https://www.youtube.com/?gl=NL&hl=nl

#set follow_hint_keys = thsnd-rcgmvwb/;789aefijkopquxyz234
@cbind o* = spawn @scripts_dir/follow.sh \@< uzbl.follow(“\@follow_hint_keys”, “%s”, ‘click’) >\@

If you use MY script config1, 2 3 4 5 6 7 8, and all the -apt get install- on page 1, everything should work then.
You need MY (koolstofje) script1 config, to let everything work on 2345678..

After this ..

You can change @cbind in MY script1 config (if you want)

I’m not doing badly, but a probably easy question for you.

I would like to navigate the tabs in command mode by hitting a key or pair of keys. I tried many keys. I tried typing in the key codes the same as they are displayed in the status bar.

gt works but I’m trying to use normal keys.

Any ideas?

PS: I looked and the normal keys for this are Ctrl-Tab to go left one tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab to go right one tab. That works in most browsers as well as Geany and Spacefm, and I changed mrxvt to use it also, so it would be real nice if it was same in uzbl.

I got it all working other than tweaking the Tab navigation to use keys I like and getting Add bookmark to work.

I liked the History and Bookmark ideas of just writing to a normal text file that could be used or maintained outside of the browser.

The browser worked fine and was not slow, but used quite a bit of memory, which would be fine for my 16 gb laptop, but not good for the one that is maxxed out with only 512 mb that is still in use and maintained by me, so I can’t really use it as a daily driver, but it was fun to get it working, and get it to do most of what I wanted in a way I liked.

Thanks again for your efforts and uploading and answering questions.

PS: I do have one application where the history and bookmarks files might make it worth using, and have left it on to use it for that. I don’t understand why most browser programs make bookmarks and history so tricky. I have to figure a way to “bookmark all tabs” and automatically eliminate any that are duplicates of ones I already have, and make the display a bit more “useable”, LOL. That was a pun 🙂
