The forin rule forbids using the `for (let key in object)` syntax. This
is because iterating with `for in` also iterates over keys obtained from
prototypal inheritance. This is most of the time wrong and using `for
(let key of Object.keys(object)` protects against that.
This rule requires that all single line comments must start with a
space, i.e. `//hello` is forbidden and `// hello` is allowed.
This made me discover a few pre-processor macro in files that aren't
taken into account by the macro-preprocessor and so I've decided to
remove these directives.
Note that this rule must stay disabled for excmds.ts as it would break
our preprocessor macros.
This commit removes commandline_background.ts. I believe this is useful
because the only thing it did was provide recvExStr, which just
triggered a synthetic "onLine" event the only consumer of which was the
parser. Since we already used controller_background + acceptExCmd in
some places, it made sense to me to directly use controller_background +
acceptExCmd everywhere.
Using `-w newtab` wouldn't allow us to use selectors with `-c`, and
using composite would always open a new empty tab on cancel (esc).
Other changes:
- Better flag handling in hint().
- `-c` is now a flag (can be combined with others like `-t`), and is
handled in the `default` case
- support flags `-c`, `-J` and `-t` in any position
https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/pull/1355 introduced a bug on
systems where profile names do not match profile paths. Fixing it
required implementing proper profiles.ini parsing, which should help
making profile discovery work on windows.
The new getProfileDir() function breaks compatibility with previous
versions. The previous version turned backslashes into slashes on
windows. I believe doing this is wrong since paths such as
`C:/Users/Bob` do not make any sense on windows. They might work in
mingw and wsl but I believe we should aim to have everything work on
'normal' windows.
Having `:editor` in the background script and constantly messaging the
content one to update the page doesn't really make sense. This commit
moves `:editor` to the content script and thus simplifies the code a
little bit.
All functions in native_background.ts use browserBg in order to interact
with the native messenger. This means that these functions can also be
used in the content script. This means that there's no point in keeping
these functions in the background/ folder and that there's no point in
having a native_background message type.
This commit does two things:
- If the user didn't specify any arguments, try to detect what profile
is currently being used and specify it in the command passed to
firefox. This makes sure tabs opened with `:nativeopen` are opened
with the right profile if multiple firefox profiles are running.
- Quote url argument to enable adding spaces and quotes to the URL
(closes#555)
There were two problems: first, the format string used by terminator and
termite was wrong: tuicmd was appended after "%f", which resulted in
tridactyl telling the emulator to execute the file rather than the
tuicmd.
The second issue was that, as mentionned in
https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/issues/1346, `-u` was missing
from terminator's options.
These flags are -a, -b, -e, -s and can be used to help Tridactyl know
what it should jump to in case of conflicts (e.g. when there's an `h`
binding and an `h` alias).
Loadreplace will make openInTab() replace the current url in history if
possible. This is useful for winopen and tabopen as this will remove
Tridactyl's newtab page from history.
setsearchkeyword has been deprecated for a while now and it was the last
place where forceURI was used.
It doesn't make sense to keep forceURI because using it for its intended
purpose (opening new tabs/windows) would make Tridactyl inconsistent:
while openInTab() is able to use Firefox's search engines, forceURI
isn't and search engine usage can't be added to forceURI due to API
mismatches.
Winclose was already there but was much less useful (could only close
the current window). This commit enables closing other windows and
provides completions for it.
