(goes back to webpage) *************************************************** Quickmarks: Let's you assign a webpage to a specified key. Type M followed by key you wish to assign the page to. To open that page at a later time, type go[assigned-key] to open in current tab, or gn[assigned-key] to open in a new tab. *************************************************** Pressing f highlights all the links on the page and assigns them a number. At bottom of page, type the corresponding number after Follow: to go to it. *************************************************** Adblock for luakit: Use https://gist.github.com/1073680 and put it in your ~/.config/luakit. Name it adblock.lua Edit your rc.lua and include: ****** require "adblock" ****** Then create a file ~/.config/luakit/adblock.blacklist according to the comment in the adblock.lua. Here's what works for facebook for example: facebook%.com Here's a script which translates hosts files for adblocking into an adblock.blacklist file. Use it as an example only! http://pae.st/4aiQ/ (courtesy Army in Arch Linux Forums) *************************************************** How to change useragent: globals.useragent = "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chromium/14.0.825.0" If you append ?nobrowsercheck=true to the end of the gmail.com url (or any other url that rejects unknown browsers?) it will let you access it with the normal luakit user agent. *************************************************** How to group bookmarks: Type "B" and then after the link add a word, e.g. :bookmark https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=983863 Archlinux :bookmark https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=125310 Archlinux ************************************************** To use ctrl-c to copy to clipboard, go to insert mode first (press i) You can then use ctrl-v to paste. ************************************************** How to set luakit to save the current session every time instead of only by ZZ, even if it's closed by the window manager: In your rc.lua, place a session.save() at the top of the window.methods.close_win function: ******** local close_win = window.methods.close_win window.methods.close_win = function (w, ...) session.save{w} close_win(w, ...) end ******** Another option offered: Edit window.lua (should be in ~/.config/luakit, or you should copy it to there from the xdg folder). On line 658 you'll find a function called "navigate". Add a line just before the closing "end" which is on line 671. The line should save the current session by calling w:save_session(). ******** navigate = function (w, uri, view) view = view or w.view if view then local js = string.match(uri, "^javascript:(.+)$") if js then --return view:eval_js(luakit.uri_decode(js), "(javascript-uri)") return view:eval_js(luakit.uri_decode(js), "(luakit::navigate)", true) end view.uri = uri else return w:new_tab(uri) end w:save_session() -- THIS LINE WAS ADDED end, ********** ************************************************* To use userconf.lua to remap binds, paste the binding aliases there: -- Binding aliases local key, buf, but = lousy.bind.key, lousy.bind.buf, lousy.bind.but then add binds within the brackets: ------------------ binds.lua add_binds("normal", { --for example -- History key({}, "b", function (w, m) w:back(m.count) end), key({}, "n", function (w, m) w:forward(m.count) end), }, true) ************************************************** To disable/enable javascript, scripts, and plugins: Add this to your rc.lua somewhere between the 'require "webview"' line (make sure it is after "binds" as well) and the "end user script loading" ***** require "noscript" noscript.enable_scripts = false noscript.enable_plugins = false ***** Then use: ,ts to toggle scripts such as javascript and others for the current domain. ,tp to toggle plugins such as Flash for the current domain. ,tr to remove NoScript rules for a given domain. Note the , must be typed as well. **************************************************
