 ½ | oh, I found browser.quitShortcut.disabled in firefox config and setting that to true fixes this for me! | 03:09:30 |

is there a way to open the menu for an extension while having the firefox gui disabled? like if i want to toggle dark reader on a webpage without having tabs or an addressbar of any kind, can I? I'm not sure, I set mine to auto hide so I can still access the address bar | 08:21:54 |

I tried to use this to override ` ` (which, for the uninitiated, closes all your windows) but it seems this is one of FF's *special* bindings? I can override ` ` (no shift) just fine. oh wow i didn't know, sorry, i picked one at random that i thought wasn't bound to anything | 08:22:04 |
 gamingjones223 | Yeah I'm doing this right now but I keep using the GUI instead of tridactyl just from muscle memory. If it wasn't there I would stop doing that and get more comfortable using b and J and K to navigate tabs or o to search. | 10:57:30 |
| gamingjones223 | Was using Vieb yesterday and it does this through direct integration with dark reader in the command line so if I want to disable it I say :set darkreader=false | 10:59:56 |
| gamingjones223 | There is a Firefox limitation that stops tridactyl from interacting with extensions in that way, yes? | 11:00:32 |
| bovine3dom | I'm not familiar with vieb but we can only talk to extensions that built an interface to allow other extensions to talk to them (which is roughly TST and nothing else) | 15:27:02 |

| gamingjones223 | similar idea to qutebrowser | 15:27:35 |
| gamingjones223 | its very cool and you should look at it | 15:27:41 |

or if you want to retrain your muscle memory quickly bind it to qall to quit Firefox every time you slip up :) | 15:28:19 |

its very cool and you should look at it they seem to be re implementing every single necessary extension manually and building that into the browser instead of trying to build an extensions system, and have gotten pretty far, which is crazy to me. | 15:28:46 |

:bind <C-t> tabopen
or if you want to retrain your muscle memory quickly bind it to qall to quit Firefox every time you slip up :) I have set this bind! I often do this with ctrl + l too, so i guess ill just set that to open? | 15:30:55 |
| gamingjones223 | is there an edit current url command? | 15:31:06 |
| gamingjones223 | like if i wanted to go from
reddit.com/r/sub1
to
reddit.com/r/sub2 | 15:31:24 |
| bovine3dom | O opens :open with the current URL prefilled | 15:35:40 |
| gamingjones223 | Thanks! | 15:35:48 |
| bovine3dom | T/W for tabs/windows | 15:35:48 |
| gamingjones223 | Have you considered having your own firefox fork which removes all the limitations on what tridactyl can do ? | 15:38:06 |
| gamingjones223 | cause it currently cant run on:
loading pages
extension pages
about:newtab / about:preferences type pages
by default, the firefox addon store
and i imagine there are a ton of other limitations associated with operating purely as a browser addon | 15:39:41 |
| gamingjones223 | or would forking firefox not allow you to solve that? | 15:40:12 |
| bovine3dom | we would have to fork Firefox and then also make a new web extension API for it | 15:45:41 |
| bovine3dom | I am not remotely tempted | 15:46:01 |
| bovine3dom | Using something like servo to make a qutebrowser-alike would be cool but a lot of work | 15:46:34 |
| bovine3dom | if i was personally really upset by those limitations i would use qutebrowser | 15:47:12 |
| gamingjones223 | In reply to @bovine3dom:matrix.org
if i was personally really upset by those limitations i would use qutebrowser then you have all the limitations that qutebrowser has though | 15:47:25 |
| gamingjones223 | which are really really annoying | 15:47:31 |
| bovine3dom | qutebrowser is much nicer if you have a very slow internet connection | 15:47:37 |
| gamingjones223 | In reply to @gamingjones223:beeper.com
which are really really annoying "i cant change the options of my extensions without using a mouse" is a much smaller problem than "I can't install extensions", im not really willing to live off purely userscripts. | 15:48:29 |
| gamingjones223 | i would go vieb over qutebrowser any day | 15:48:56 |
