Hey I am trying to get native messaging working on my system (Guix Linux). When trying to check if native messaging is working with :native I observed which message firefox sends to ~/.local/share/native_main and it is {"cmd": "version"} prefixed by the bytes 1100 0000 this leads to an error message Error: unhandled exception: input(1, 17) Error: } expected [JsonParsingError]. However if I try the same command with the 3300 0000 prefix as I got it from the command printf '%c\0\0\0{"cmd": "run", "command": "echo $PATH"}' 39 | ~/.local/share/tridactyl/native_main from https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/master/doc/troubleshooting.md it works. That mentioned command from the troubleshooting guide works too.
Now I want to ask three questions:

1. What is the meaning of these prefixes?
2. Who is at fault here? Firefox for sending 1100 0000 or native_main for not accepting it
3. Is there something I can do to fix this problem? The only thing I can think of is putting something in between firefox and native main that changes these message prefixes.

Is it possible to show closed tabs in the order of last closed time with Tridactyl?

In reply to @Lexi:matrix.org
Wait, if that's already there, isn't it easy / already possible to show a list of last visited pages as well?

In reply to @Lexi:matrix.org
I'm looking for general browsing history. But that explains why it's harder I guess :-)

mostly i didn't do this because i couldn't get my head around how to do the user interface

:back is already huge, with all your tabs forever it would be enormous

Hi.
I add set modeindicatormodes.normal false to tridactylrc file to hide mode indicator in normal mode. But I found it doesn't take effect until I trigger a tridactyl operation (any kinds of, e.g. hjkl to move, : enter command mode, / to search). What's wrong with my config?

it's tridactyl that's wrong I think

pretty sure we have a bug

we added that setting so people could hide it in ignore mode and didn't really think to test it in normal mode
