keyconfig 20110522

[morat]

Omit.

Thanks for your answers.

I'm not sure if I expressed myself correctly. I want to achieve having two (or more) functions, which are already built-in the browser, combined to one key. The simplest example I'm currently using would be this: F5 + Pos1 set to one single key.

I don't know what more I can say. I mean the above is just a small example. It may even sound ridiculous to you. But for us it has become important. I'm totally willing to try .cfg files, other addons or even a different browers (although it would hurt).

Omit.

I don't understand anything. I think this is way too complicated for me. I'm really sorry for wasting your time.

And on top of it, looking at the others answers, I don't even know if there is hope for an addon like keyconfig. Is it even possible? Yes? No? I don't get it.

I am completely lost. Stupid me for expecting an easy answer I guess.

The easy answer is to downgrade to FF56 and stay on it. Or choose a forked browser that retains legacy addon support. (Basilisk, Pale Moon, Waterfox)

As I wrote before, I'm already on FF52 ESR to avoid problems at the moment. But that only works as long as 52ESR is supported. What happens when support for it ends and there are no more security fixes? So staying on an old version is not a solution and i guess you know that.

So, is what keyconfig did so far possible on FF57+ or not. I'm not talking about an available addon, just asking if it is possible at all? I'm coming to a point where I'm totally willing to pay someone to write an addon just for a few key commands... IF it is possible with FF57+ at all.

As far as I know it isn't.

Only if you're hell bent on upgrading, and you know that. Security fixes are of no significance IMO. Anyway you can use Basilisk and probably Waterfox for a while longer with classic addons.

I still don’t get it. Is it impossible or is it just too much work to build a new add-on?

[nohamelin]

Not possible.

Hello.
Just discovered a bookmarklet, which translate a page thru Google translate, without loading url to google site.
I.e. it grabs text from opened page, send it to a translator and then exchange existing text to translated.
Link
googlesystem.blogspot.ru/2009/11/google-translation-bar.html

Addon which do the same thing
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gtranslate/

I want somehow execute this process with a help of keyconfig, with one keystroke, without set parameters on the Google Translation Bar. Is it possible?

I've been trying to open a new tab next to current with the homepage instead of new tab page, and to empty + focus on the urlbar. These are my tries so far, but to no avail.

Code: Select all

var home = Services.prefs.getCharPref("browser.startup.homepage").split("|")[0];
openLinkIn(home, "tab", {inBackground: false, relatedToCurrent: true});
// The following is faster than Firefox itself: after load, FF refreshes the url bar and puts back the URL
gBrowser.addEventListener("load", function() {
  gBrowser.removeEventListener("load", arguments.callee, true);
  gURLBar.value = "";
  focusAndSelectUrlBar();
}, true);


Code: Select all

var home = Services.prefs.getCharPref("browser.startup.homepage").split("|")[0];
var to = gBrowser.mTabContainer.selectedIndex + 1;
var tab = gBrowser.addTab(home);
gBrowser.moveTabTo(tab, to);
gBrowser.selectTabAtIndex(to);
openLocation();
// Sometimes removes already typed stuff
setTimeout(function() { gURLBar.value = ""; }, 250);

There are no parameters in the bookmarklet so I don't know how to change the parameters to non-default values.

Google Translation Bar

Bookmark Builder

Example:

Code: Select all

// Header Language: Russian
// Source Language: English
// Target Language: Spanish
var url = "http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=ru&sl=en&tl=es&u=";
url += encodeURIComponent(content.document.location.href);
gBrowser.loadURI(url);

@ltGuillaume

Try this:

Code: Select all

var homePage = gHomeButton.getHomePage();
var urls = homePage.split("|");
var index = gBrowser.tabContainer.selectedIndex;
var tab = gBrowser.selectedTab = gBrowser.addTab(urls[0]);
gBrowser.moveTabTo(tab, index + 1);
gBrowser.getBrowserForTab(tab).addEventListener("load", function (event) {
  event.currentTarget.removeEventListener(event.type, arguments.callee, true);
  event.originalTarget.title = "Cowabunga";
  gURLBar.value = "";
  focusAndSelectUrlBar();
}, true);

Unfortunately, this time your code is not working.
It reads page from a server and i figure out myself this way, with a help of some addon, years ago.

Real-time translation
googlesystem.blogspot.ru/2009/06/google-toolbar-improved-page.html
can even translate locally saved file and i need it only for this.

So, thank you for try.

You can get a bookmarklet to execute with keyconfig.

Translate:

Code: Select all

gBrowser.selectedBrowser.messageManager.loadFrameScript('data:,(' + ( function() {
  var d, b, o, v, p, e;
  d = content.document;
  b = d.body;
  e = d.createElement('script');
  e.text = 'Element.prototype.addEventListener=(function(){var cached_function=Element.prototype.addEventListener;return function(){if((arguments[0]=="mouseover" || arguments[0]=="mousemove" || arguments[0]=="mouseout" || arguments[0]=="focus" || arguments[0]=="blur") && arguments[1] == "function(c){return a.call(b.src,b.listener,c)}"){return;};var result=cached_function.apply(this,arguments);return result;};})();';
  e.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
  b.appendChild(e);
  o = d.createElement('script');
  o.setAttribute('src', 'https://translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit');
  o.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
  b.appendChild(o);
  v = b.insertBefore(d.createElement('div'), b.firstChild);
  v.id = 'google_translate_element';
  v.style.display = 'none';
  p = d.createElement('script');
  p.text = 'function googleTranslateElementInit(){new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage:\"\", includedLanguages: \"en,pt\", layout: google.translate.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE},\"google_translate_element\");}';
  p.setAttribute('type', 'text/javascript');
  b.appendChild(p);
} ).toString() + ')()', true);

Yes, it works even with HTTPS and local files.

In my case I'm interested in converting to english (en) or portuguese (pt), change according to your need.
