First of all the braille terminal is specific to links the chain not lynx the cat. But in principal maybe a good idea. One configuration file could also be setup so that all options are expanded while another could be setup where the user would see the view of the dropdown box as you would in windows, one box. If you're going to do this be sure to get the right file. there's both a .cfg file and a .lynxrc file for the cat and I assume a .linksrc file for the chain. Initally it'll be on your website so do with what you will. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim grimsby" <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.'" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, April 04, 2005 3:31 PM Subject: RE: getting off my windows dependency Conf files are helpful but many of these will reflect personal preferences. I've looked often at some conf files that have been shared over time and I'll find parts that look interesting and helpful but other parts I would totally disagree with so I usually end up rolling my own. Yes, I'm experienced now so perhaps would sing a different tune if I was new to this stuff. The idea was to get the user started. The idea is not to say this is the only way but this is a method to get you started. So let say that in lynx show_cursor was turned on number links and forms and the braile terminal mode was enabled. One configuration and then lets say we have another just wish show_cursor turned on. This way instead of having from the get go go in and configure it they would have a base line starting point. What yall think. Somebody mentioned tab controls or tab navigation. I use both linux and windows and I don't mind tab controls at all. The latest Firefox for windows allows the opening of links in tabs and you can use ctrl-page up and down to cycle through the tabs or I think there's a way to open the list like a standard windows tab control. These tabs are definitely far better than opening separate instances of the program or separate processes. Someone mentioned separate consoles or subprocesses or inferiror shells to run other tasks. That is hardly a way to deal with the exploding of web documents. Screen is an interesting way to have "multiple windows" but still, I don't think web browsing could be accommodated this way. Hmmm, interesting idea if a text browser could some how open up another screen window for links when a tab browsing session is desired. Actually, it comes to mind that w3 for Emacs might enable web browsing where one could simply scroll down tthrough the page since you're in an emacs buffer. This would surely work with emacspeak anyhow; but that's another subject:). - -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://ld.net/?holmesgrown -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCUaj7WSjv55S0LfERAzwaAJ43LQ8uHSVuIXT7tLjAghmYRruuMgCgstzO +rMX3J9iXQGsYj9ZSGNM6ao= =5q/f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup at braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
