1. Just tried out the new Prev/Next feature; but it doesn't seem to work properly.

   On google it matches the link 'More >>' instead despite the fact that '\bnext\b' pattern is before '\bmore\b' and the 'next' link is below the 'more' link on the page.

2. The new keybinding mechanisam is illuminating, but it doesn't work in some cases. I tried this

   nmap J :e VimbFunction()

   Instead of executing the command it puts "e VimbFunction" to the input box and then appends 'J' to the end of that (so that becomes 'e VimbFunction()J')

It would be nice to have the ability to execute scripts from vimb with
current URL as a parameter. What I actually want to achieve is
to have ability to store the current URL in a file other than the
bookmark file.

Implement hinting for links, images and other sources.

At the moment we add modkeys if a keybind is set but don't remove it if no keybind uses it.

1. Assertion failure: (vimb:1336): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_frame_clock_request_phase: assertion `GDK_IS_FRAME_CLOCK (frame_clock)' failed
2. Input autocomplete is slow. It takes few sec to show ~1.5K entries from history.
3. There's a scrollbar on the right side of the window.
4. src/main.c:667:5: warning: 'gtk_entry_set_inner_border' is deprecated (declared
   at /usr/include/gtk-3.0/gtk/gtkentry.h:155) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]
   gtk_entry_set_inner_border(GTK_ENTRY(gui->inputbox), NULL);

Save all search strings from within the inputbox/commandline in a list to allow to step through the history via 'tab' or 'shoft-tab' like the command completion.

Maybe we can reuse the completions mechanism to also show the last search requests.

The enable-display-of-insecure-content sebkit setting variable has big security impact and should be configurable by the user. I don't know why, but the default value for this is true that should be replaces by false in vimb.
The varaible enable-running-of-insecure-content should also be configurable and set to false per default.

The way the header should be configurable and on which request they should apply isn't clear at the moment. But I think vimb should allow to set the 'DNT' header to prevent some tracking http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-mayer-do-not-track-00.txt.

On some pages the hinting of links to be opened does not work if JavaScript is enabled.

This behaviour was seen on
http://www.heise.de/security/meldung/Niederlande-Gesetzentwurf-ueber-Entschluesselungsbefehl-1854652.html
where the 'nemo tetenur' link does not work. Maybe there is a event-observer
added to this element that breaks the hinting of vimb in this case.

It seems that also the normal mouse clicks do not open these links.

Followinng JavaScript could be the reason for the bug.

if (window.externalLinks === undefined) {
    var externalLinks = (function() {
        function external_blank() {
            if (typeof jQuery != "undefined") {
                jQuery( function($) {
                    $(document).on('click', "a[rel~=external]", function(e) {
                        e.preventDefault();
                        var url = $(this).attr("href");
                        window.open(url, "_blank");
                    });
                });
            }
        }
        var my = {};
        my.openBlank = function() {
            external_blank();
        };
        return my;
    })();
    externalLinks.openBlank();
}

It goes

  $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vimb/style.css
         File for userdefined css styles. These file is used if the con-
         fig variable

Adapt the key-mapping to the style that also vim uses. That means don't
distinguish between modkeys and the last key, instead take the whole key
sequence.

1. Every typed key, that is a prefix of one ore more key-bindings should be
   shown in the statusbar.
2. Show also special keys in statusbar for example <C-R> as ^R or <Tab> as ^I
   and so on.
3. Change key notation into the way vim does, for example <CS-R>, <S-Tab>,
   <Up>, <Down>, <F3> and <S-F5>. The format is <MODIFIERS-Key>.
4. If a full key sequence is a prefix of another key sequence, way some time
   if the other required keystrokes are typed, if not run the already matches
   binding.

Allow to search within the open webpage via keybind '?' and '/' like it is done in vim.

If you type ":" and press Enter, you cannot scroll the page using J/K keys until you press Esc.

The GUI should be styleable and themable by the standanrd GTK Style mechanism, to not brake the themes, the direct assigning of fonts or colors should be reduced to a minimum.

• Use only those style overwrites, that are really required to make the browser usable
• Feed the browser with some usable default styling
• Document how the diffrent gui and gint parts can be stlyed in GTK2 and GTK3 (project homepage and manual page)
• Also the hints should be designable by the users stylesheet, and only a default minimum style should be applied to have usable hints without any additional styling

When vimb shows the autocomplete list, the URLs are displayed
in order of access - from oldest to latest. I think it should
be better to do otherwise - show the latest URLs first.

There should be a default keybinding to switch into pass-through mode from input mode too. And the pass-through mode should be a submode so that we can switch vimb to insert mode but don't process the keybindings, otherwise it's not possible to write into forms if vimb is in pass-through mode.

Add the page titles to the bookmark and history file, so tha use can grep these files easily.

• show the title in completion list on the right side
• allow to used also the title for completion where only the url is used at the moment

It would be a nice feature to allow to make proxy exceptions by environment variable 'no_proxy' that is also used by wget. This variable can hold some ',' seperated url pattern that are excluded from proxy and are therefor requested direct.

export no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com"

Save all commands runned from within the inputbox/commandline in a list to allow to step through the history via 'tab' or 'shoft-tab' like the command completion.

Maybe we can reuse the completions mechanism to also show commands from the history.

Allow to set a custom configuration file via command line option -c --config that is used intead of the default config file in XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vimb/config.

I'm a vimprobable2 user at the moment, but this project sounds intriguing. Unfortunately, I haven't as of yet been able to try it.

I've got the dependencies satisfied as far as I can tell, but the project won't build. I can build vimprobable2, which has the same dependencies.

Here's a paste of the build errors.

Warning libsoup-WARNING **: No feature manager for feature of type 'SoupCookie' is printed to console if vimp is started. Check what's wrong or if this is a Problem in the soup library. This issue seems also to exist in surf (another lighweight webkit browser) too.

Implement a command that allows to write the content of an editable form field (input type text and textarea) into a temporary file and spawns an editor with that. If the editor is quit successfully read the files content and put it back into the form field.

I would suggest using DESTDIR variable instead of those you are using now (BINDIR and MANDIR).

In hints mode, you can open URL by typing a part of its title. However, this feature is case sensitive; for example, typing "i" on this page won't select "Issues" link - you have to type "I".

Allo to save current page as tagable bookmark in a bookmark file.

• add command to save the bookmark
• add command to open all bookmarks with a given tag
• add completion for existing bookmarks

When you type a command in the input bar while the page is loading, the input bar loose focus occasionally.

Save the last closed page into a file and implement a command to reopen the last closed page into current or new window.

This feature allow to get a page back that was closed by mistake.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to en.wikipedia.org;
2. Type f15. Note that the wikipedia logo link has number 150.
3. Type 0.
   Instead of opening the logo link, vimb opens link to the printable version of the page. If you expand the "Print/Export" section on the left side of the page
   and type f15, you can see that now a link to the printable version has number

When I open any of the 'about' links, e.g. about:blank, vimb redirects
me to the duckduckgo instead of showing the expected page (blank page in
case of about:blank).

There's Shift-/ mapped to "input /" and Shift-? (not sure how it
is supposed to be entered) mapped to "input ?". Probably it
should be "/" and "Shift-/".

There is no command for setting proxy address. You can use http_proxy variable, but this does not allow to change proxy without restarting vimb.

Allow to use a proxy.

The usage of the proxy should be toggleable on runtime by :set proxy={on,off}. The proxysettings should be read out of the environment varibale 'http_proxy'.

When I close vimb using :quit command, a file with a random name is created in the current directory. This file contains "quit" string.

The following warnings are printed on exit:

(vimb:408): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_adjustment_get_upper: assertion `GTK_IS_ADJUSTMENT (adjustment)' failed

(vimb:408): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_adjustment_get_page_size: assertion `GTK_IS_ADJUSTMENT (adjustment)' failed

(vimb:408): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_adjustment_get_value: assertion `GTK_IS_ADJUSTMENT (adjustment)' failed

(vimb:408): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type (null)' in cast toGtkLabel'

(vimb:408): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_label_set_text: assertion `GTK_IS_LABEL (label)' failed

Add a file to defined quickmarks in, that can be easily opened by a new command or keybind.

• open quickmark 12 by :12qm or somethings similar

If vimb is started in foreground, there is no way to move it to background - Ctrl-Z is ignored.

Allow to define searchengines with shortcuts that can be used to open the search result via :open or :tabopen like ':open dd vimp browser' to open the search results for 'vimp browser' via duckduckgo.

Allow to set searchengine shortcut to search-url relation via config file. Something similar to the :nmap and :nunmap can be used (:searchengine dd=https://duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=%s and to remove :unserachengine dd).

If there are hidden fileds on the page, the focus-input command set the
focus to the hidden field.

The focus-input should only focus input fields and textareas that are
visible to the user.

• type is not "hidden"
• visibility is not "none"
• element is editable

Simpyfy the soup session handling.

• put the function in a own c file
• add file locking for cookie jar file

Allow to run JavaScript snippets from the inputbox nd show the result or error in the inputbox.

In function bookmark_get_by_tags, the parameter of g_strv_length is not checked,
causing GLib to spit errors in case the parameter is NULL.
There's a similar issue at src/command.c:385 - running :imap without arguments causes
a segfault.

If you select input bar with a mouse, type ":" and then press Tab, autocompletion list is not displayed. Probably it would better to make input bar not selectable.

Hi. I've got two problems during compilation:

1. js2h.sh generates invalid header file - in the last line of the script the terminating quote
   is misplaced.
2. libm is not linked.

The current used box backing for the completions is very slow under gtk3. This sould be replaced by the TreeView that should be faster in this context.

It would be nice to have some advanced capabilities for
editing text in the input bar, e.g. Ctrl-H to remove
character, Ctrl-U to remove the whole line (probably
except the command, only the argument), Ctrl-B/F and
Alt-B/F to move to the next/previous word/character, etc.

There's no way to download some types of files, for example, plain
text or video, without using a mouse. When you open a link to,
for example, .mp4 file, vimb shows a player instead of downloading
the file. Adding a separate hotkey for downloading files via
hints, may solve this problem.

If you have a bookmark without a tag, it is not displayed in
autocomplete list. Also, the bookmark is displayed only when
the tag is entered completely, i.e. if you have a bookmark
with a tag "wiki", typing ":open w" won't show this
bookmark. It would be better to have bookmarks matched in the
same way as history entries. In order to avoid having too many
links in the autocomplete list, separate keybindings for history
autocomplete and bookmark autocomplete could be added.

In right-click menu, "Open Link in New Window" shows the current page in a new window instead of opening selected link.
