net-im/kopete is unmaintained. It's being replaced by Telepathy. (net-im/telepathy-qt ?)

Thanks Alvin, let's request telepathy-qt instead of kopete for PBI in AppCafe.

OMG purgatori this Conkeror flies!
thank you very much!

You're most welcome, and I'm glad you like it I've been using it for quite some time now, so if you have any questions let me know.

purgatori, how to launch new tab and open links in new tab? Also how to find history and recently closed tabs?

purgatori, how to launch new tab and open links in new tab? Also how to find history and recently closed tabs?

To open a new tab (also referred to as a "buffer" in Conkeror/Emacs jargon) the key sequence is: C-u g (Ctrl+u followed by g).

To open a link in a new buffer, you can either a) click on a link with your mouse wheel (I think it's also called MOUSE 3? I could be wrong though), or b) pass what's called a "universal argument" to the "display link hints" command. Don't be put off the jargon, as that's simply: C-u f (Ctrl+u followed by f).

The Ctrl+u is the "universal argument part" and then f is the part that activates link hinting on whatever page you happen to be viewing at the time.

As far as I know, there's no command to re-open a closed buffer/tab right now.

History, on the other hand, can be implemented by creating a .conkerorrc file in your home directory, and adding the following entry:

define_browser_object_class(
    "history-url", null, 
    function (I, prompt) {
        check_buffer (I.buffer, content_buffer);
        var result = yield I.buffer.window.minibuffer.read_url(
            $prompt = prompt,  $use_webjumps = false, $use_history = true, $use_bookmarks = false);
        yield co_return (result);
    });

interactive("find-url-from-history",
            "Find a page from history in the current buffer",
            "find-url",
            $browser_object = browser_object_history_url);

interactive("find-url-from-history-new-buffer",
            "Find a page from history in the current buffer",
            "find-url-new-buffer",
            $browser_object = browser_object_history_url);

define_key(content_buffer_normal_keymap, "h", "find-url-from-history-new-buffer");
define_key(content_buffer_normal_keymap, "H", "find-url-from-history");

And if you want URLs from your history to appear during url completion (i.e. when you type g or C-u g), you can add the following to your .conkerorrc:

url_completion_use_history = true;

Hope that helps

Thanks purgatori, I hope many will try to and use Conkeror.
It is fast!

purgatori, i cannot some of this apps in AppCafe. Can you make a pbi request for them?
I hope also if somebody can develop a front-end gui for conkeror.

[purgatori]

^ Which ones couldn't you find? In all likelihood I have already made requests for any apps listed that aren't in the Appcafe already.

As for Conkeror: it is designed, intentionally, as a keyboard-driven browser (specifically, in the style of Emacs). Conkeror with a regular browser GUI = Firefox.
