A symbolic link for 5.8 pointing to 5.8.0 seems to work.


Yes, indeed there was a missing link in 4.1.

Thanks again for your report.

Actually the missing link is better served in the gtk2 extension.
DSL offers perl 5.8.0 the extension overwrites (updates) to perl 5.8.7 and with the link 5.8 to 5.8.7 the extension loads without errors. I have updated the gtk2-0507.dsl extension.

I'll spare you my full list of bindings because I don't use a mouse on my laptop or P200. You also added a redundant call for the root:1 menu (alt-f1 is default, you added ctrl-z) and windows close on alt-f4 (so the x binding is also redundant). I use different bindings for window control tasks (alt-f2 also gives the window control menu), but these are the ones in 4.1 that clobber applications:

Code Sample

<!-- DSL 4.1 -->
<Key mask="SC" key="s">shade</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="x">close</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="m">maximize</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="v">minimize</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="d">desktop</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="b">resize</Key>
<Key mask="SC" key="n">move</Key>

<!-- mine -->
<Key mask="CA" key="r">restart</Key>
<Key mask="CA" key="Return">exec:aterm</Key>
<Key mask="CA" key="v">exec:aterm -T "vim" -e vi</Key>


FWIW, JWM is very mouseless-friendly with one notable exception: minimized windows get left out of the toggling in alt-tab and require a mouse to unminimize.

What about this idea?

I'm not opposed to it. Which one is the standard, which one do I rebind? Want a cheat-sheet wallpaper to go with it?

It'd be good to see these in the Dillo Getting Started page as well.

Much thanks

The cheat sheet is a good idea.  It will help people ramp up.  Anything that helps people help themselves is a gift.
I just converted a new-style Firefox icon (32x32 xpm).. It's 2.1kb, with the minimum amount of colors to still look good (about 50, it originally had 768 and produced a 15kb xpm)

Gif preview (browsers interpret xpm as text)

What do you think?
