Luakit

benj1 · 2011-01-18 19:39:23

Just start using Luakit a few days ago, and so far I'm liking it, I've tried Uzbl in the past but didn't realy get past setting it up, Luakit is ironically usable out of the box, its in the early stages of development but I haven't had any problems using it, it uses webkit so everything works (I haven't had any problems using it anyway)
any other crunchbangers using it?

link to arch forums pagehttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=97375
and debian sid .deb http://packages.debian.org/unstable/main/luakit

Installing it now, it's in the Wheezy repository

corenominal · 2011-02-07 01:44:59

Luakit looks interesting, I think I will have a play. Thanks for sharing. smile

Laudan · 2011-06-28 14:26:05

How can I download from the sid repository?
Could you please provide the apt-get instructions?
Thanks

EDIT: if you can, please provide the exact command-line to install luakit

@Laudan - Please read this thread:

Thought I'd revive this thread since I have started using it since yesterday and loving it. The defaults are wonderful since it uses the vimperator plugin and has noscript baked right into the browser. Oh and it runs and loads faster than the heavier apps like iceweasel or chrome (almost instant boot).

Current problems:
1. How to clear history [SOLVED]
2. Userscripts can be installed, but they're not working as intended.
3. How to install userstyles from userstyles.org
4. xmarks support?

After installing it, I was not able to do anything with it.
Where is the address bar?

sunfizz98 · 2012-01-02 21:39:25

^Press "o" and then type your desired address.

Thanks. Where can I find the instructions for the other commands?

^Luakit beginner's guide

This should get your feet wet for the time being. It's very similar to firefox's vimperator extension so you can try googling a manual for vimperator.

2ManyDogs · 2012-01-03 03:35:29

Also take a look at the "/etc/xdg/luakit/binds.lua" file -- it contains the default key bindings.

I've been playing with luakit a bit today and I have to say it's growing on me, especially when I see how fast it loads and how little memory it uses.

according to this thread you can clear your history by deleting ~/.local/share/luakit/history.db.

2ManyDogs · 2012-01-08 20:05:43

dammit! now I try to use "b" to go back a page in iceweasel.

sunfizz98 · 2012-01-08 20:23:56

^Why is that? vimperator/luakit usually has "ctrl+o" for going back one page.

2ManyDogs · 2012-01-09 00:02:13

binds.lua:

-- History
    key({},          "H",           function (w, m) w:back(m.count)    end),
    key({},          "L",           function (w, m) w:forward(m.count) end),
    key({},          "b",           function (w, m) w:back(m.count)    end),
    key({},          "XF86Back",    function (w, m) w:back(m.count)    end),
    key({},          "XF86Forward", function (w, m) w:forward(m.count) end),
    key({"Control"}, "o",           function (w, m) w:back(m.count)    end),
    key({"Control"}, "i",           function (w, m) w:forward(m.count) end),

"Ctrl-o" and "b" both work. I learned "b" first.

sunfizz98 · 2012-01-09 02:19:30

huh...I learned something new today. Btw, is there a way to....

1. copy selected text from keyboard
2. always open links in new tabs instead of new window panes
3. save passwords

1. Should be possible; I'll see if it's easy.

2. Ctrl-left mouse click will open a link in a new tab now. If you want it to always work like this (never open a new window for navigation), copy /etc/xdg/luakit/webview.lua to your home folder ~/.config/luakit and edit it as follows:

find this section:

-- Action to take on window open request.
    window_decision = function (view, w)
        -- 'link' contains the download link
        -- 'reason' contains the reason of the request (i.e. "link-clicked")
        -- return TRUE to handle the request by yourself or FALSE to proceed
        -- with default behaviour
        view:add_signal("new-window-decision", function (v, uri, reason)
            info("New window decision: %s (%s)", uri, reason)
            if reason == "link-clicked" then
                window.new({uri})
            else
                w:new_tab(uri)
            end
            return true
        end)
    end,

and edit it to remove the window.new decision portion:

-- Action to take on window open request.
    window_decision = function (view, w)
         view:add_signal("new-window-decision", function (v, uri, reason)
            -- always open a new tab, never a new window
               w:new_tab(uri)
            return true
        end)
    end,

So far this seems to work with no issues, but it may prevent a window from being opened when we want it to be, so proceed with caution (back up the file first, all that).

3. I probably won't work on this; I never save passwords in the browser.

Not sure exactly what you mean here. If you select text with the mouse and right click, you get the copy option. Do you want a "copy with keystrokes" option?

If so, you can add this to binds.lua in the "yanking" section:

buf("^ys$",                     function (w)
                                        local uri = luakit.selection.primary
                                        if not uri then w:error("Empty selection.") return end
                                        luakit.selection.clipboard = uri
                                        w:notify("Yanked selection: " .. uri)
                                        luakit.selection.primary = ""
                                    end),

and then after you select text (with the mouse) type ^ys to copy the selection to the clipboard. You can paste into the destination with ctrl-V as usual.

If that's not what you mean let me know.

@2ManyDogs

Your last post was extremely useful, but I'm new to Lua, and when I added your code to enable copying with keystrokes, it just displays the following error:

Error: In bind call: /etc/xdg/luakit/binds.lua:188: attempt to index field 'selection' (a nil value)

Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance

So.. I am having trouble logging in to the #!-Forums with luakit (#! forums claim that I don't allow cookies).
Here are the cookie related parts of my luakit config files. Am I missing something?
rc.lua

-- Add sqlite3 cookiejar                                                                                                                                                                        
require "cookies"

-- Cookie blocking by domain (extends cookies module)                                                                                                                                           
-- Add domains to the whitelist at "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/luakit cookie.whitelist"                                                                                                                   
-- and blacklist at "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/luakit/cookie.blacklist".

-- cookies default.allow = false

globals.lua

cookie_policy = { always = 0, never = 1, no_third_party = 2 }
soup.accept_policy = cookie_policy.always

I'd be glad if someone could help me with that.
Thanks in Advance.

Did you get this sorted yet? I'm no luakit expert, but I use it to browse #! every day (including right now). The only thing I see different in my rc.lua is this section you did not mention:

-- Block all cookies by default (unless whitelisted)
--cookies.default_allow = false

It's right after --require "cookie blocking" in my rc.lua.

gensym · 2012-03-16 08:58:32

Yes. It's there and commented out, I must have missed it when copying.
Edith says: Can anyone suggest a method of overriding the font specified in the html file of the website with user specified fonts (like firefox does). Maybe a client side css can do that, but I am not terribly good at creating css files, any ideas?

Edith says:
This does the trick.

* {
        font-family: "Font-Family-Name" !important
}

An update:

The issue is not luakit related. I see this message with every browser except for firefox.

Googling the error message,

#! wrote:

You appear to have logged in successfully, however a cookie has not been set. Please check your settings and if applicable, enable cookies for this website.

I have found the following thread: Clicky

I also found another link which gives some possible user workarounds for the problem. I'll post if the user workarounds solve my problem.

Edith says: Yay! Clicking the automatic login button did the trick.

I've been using Luakit for a while on an old laptop, it's a great little browser. I'd like it to block ads, like adblock for Firefox. I'm using privoxy but it seems slow. I found some scripts for adblock for Luakit, but I don't know how to use them, I've put them in /etc/xdg/luakit and linked to them in /etc/xdg/luakit/rc.lua, but they don't work.
