- 1.1.5
- Fixed bug note opening files with spaces in filepath via DBus notification on
Non OS2 systems.
- Remove spaces in url-bar when open urls
- New Shortcuts: Ctrl+F for pagesearch (On an empty page it opens the web-search)
Ctrl+G for websearch
- Experimental: 1 update/5 seconds on preview in tooltip and tabselector
To activate it, open the Lightweight2.conf and add theese lines
[Experimental]
autoPreviewUpdate=true
(If you have already an "[Experimental]" section, add the lower lone to it
instead of adding a new one)
- Made code working with Qt5 and Qt4
- 1.14
- Fixed crash when creating new bookmark folder
- Fixed not loading https:// sites, when typed directly
- Restored old download handling. So downloads should work normal again
- Changed Zoom-shortcut to [Ctrl]+[Shift]+Wheel up/down
- Added experimental URL filter for Googles redirection-URLs
To activate it, open the Lightweight2.conf and add theese lines
[Experimental]
filterGoogleRedirections=true
Note: This feature will stay experimental. Google can change the syntax very easy. To this feature can
be broken very fast. It could also break some URLs.

Perhaps i can make it more "intelligent": When going to buttom-left the progressbar goes to button-right, ans vice versa.
3. 1.4 will have the hovered url in the webview integrated. It behaves as it discribed as a proposal for the progressbar.

But: What is "better"?
So i am asking: "What is wrong with the current icons?"

2. Regarding the progress bar, it should be located above the scroll bar if there is one in its window and have a background (probably grey colored) so it looks nicer.
3. Regarding the url that's shown when hovering over a link, it shouldn't be in its own bar. Instead, it should be shown in the part of the window that shows the webpage.

If yes: Do you find configs saved by Lightweight2?
I think this problem is OS specific, so my only way to "fix" it, is to save theese data manually in an own file.

7. It should remember what state its window was in (basically, if its maximized when running, it should stay maximized when restarting it).

But for me there is one thing could be added and would be useful.

CTRL + E = Show the Edit URL toolbar
1 = Go to the tab on the right side of the currently selected tab.
2 = Go to the tab on the left side of the currently selected tab.
CTRL + ALT + B = Open the Bookmark Manager window with the option to bookmark the page in the currently selected tab.
CTRL + W = Close the currently selected tab.

1 and 2 : I think Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right are better
Ctril+B already opens bookmarkmanager. So i only need to add the ability in it.
I didn't mention it, but Ctrl+F4 closes the current tab (unless your system uses the yourcut for something else). Changin to Ctrl+W is no prob at all.

My knowlege about proxies are very low and i have no idea how to support costum procxy in the gui.
Perhaps you can build a proxy-support via a configuration-file.
