I don't particularly want to spend time making the new tab page better because in my opinion if you're using Tridactyl "right" you should almost never see it ... but, that said, what would make it "useful" to you? What is it missing?
list of all your bookmarks with favicons for them that lets you navigate to each with f + a description of the weather would be my ideal new tab page. I totally get this though that you wouldn't think it would matter because people wouldn't use it if they could just t + reddit + enter

Sorry, I had missed this message

1) I barely ever see the new tab page since I open pages with tabopen/winopen

2) faststream is probably not something we could ever solve :(

3) Tridactyl can control proxies directly, see :apropos proxy

4) since I use tabopen/winopen completions I almost never make typos for URLs

faststream is the kind of thing that would be solved by a browser fork though right ? if you had access to extension pages and could load tridactyl on them?

i was aware tridactyl could control proxies but each time i have wanted to control proxies i have been in enough of a hurry to not learn how to do it in tridactyl.

I guess we could have a little box that could display some html/js on it

It's a bit better than hosting your own page because it would have access to web extension apis

  • actually hosting a page would add the load time of that page to each time you open a new tab which sounds horrible to me.

the fillcmdline one is still not successfully overriding the normal firefox ctrl t
Any idea what's happening here though ?
15:14:03
@gamingjones223:beeper.comgamingjones223Don't you see the new tab page each time you first open the browser ? 15:24:57

no, Firefox restores the previous session for me. I don't know how I would cope otherwise, browser tabs are my to-do list

either:

1) Firefox doesn't allow you to rebind ctrl+t (which would be surprising to me because I have been recommending that people do it for years), or

2) Your config is messed up somehow, or

3) Tridactyl doesn't have focus, or

4) ... some kind of other PEBKAC :)

@bovine3dom:matrix.orgbovine3domI could check 1) easily if I wasn't on a hiking holiday 05:52:01
@bovine3dom:matrix.orgbovine3dom2) i guess i could look at your config but I would rather check 1) first because it would take ~10 seconds at a computer05:52:49
@gamingjones223:beeper.comgamingjones223I'm imagining 4 but I do not know what I did to stop it from working 10:22:37

I can't get C-t to work either. Tried with bind --mode=browser <C-t> escapehatch. It did show up in the completions for bind and in the list of extensions' shortcuts

I have a matrix channel where I just send stuff to myself when I want to look at it again, so I don't have to bother managing my tabs, so I can just kill my browser when I'm done with it each time. Do you do all your tab management with tridactyl?
12:09:47
@bovine3dom:matrix.orgbovine3domtab management is a strong word for it, i have tabsort mru so ones that I don't care about slowly fall off the list of tabs. Every now and then I go through them and close them with shift delete17:10:31
@bovine3dom:matrix.orgbovine3domI think the oldest tab I have open is four years old now, some long magazine article I wanted to read17:10:59

Keep a readable version of that (and even an offline version of that) and I use my epub of that article so I can read them easily on eink device.
So it build a habit to read them not just bookmark or keep open. Tab for 4 year.
Like pocket but data is yours and you have control over that.

After a restart only the focused tab gets loaded into memory iirc so just restart the browser to free up all the RAM :-)

@gamingjones223:beeper.comgamingjones223Did switching from mode browser to mode normal fix C-t for you? 01:49:59
