It’s pretty much too late to add any new features to 3.2.1.8, so I want to list out a few things that I want to add in 3.2.1.9, if 3.2.1.8 doesn’t introduce any critical bugs. Here’s the list of some features I want to add:
- Allow for Control+Left Click or something. It will be user definable with 4 different actions. The command will only work on webpages and emails. Nothing in the rest of the TB interface will respond to this command (or atleast, shouldn’t). The actions planned are: Load in new tab, Load in popup window, Load in External Browser, or Nothing.
- Some users want to have a Control+T key combo to open a new tab. This will obviously conflict with the newer Thunderbird builds and with Thunderbird in general. Control+ALT+T might be the new tab combo. For users who want this now, you can always install KeyConfig. You would want to use the
ThunderTabBrowser.addTab(); function (though if you don’t pass any args, you get a blank tab [this was changed in 3.2.1.8]).
- Sooner or later, I would like to redo the settings window. A lot of the code for it is really old, messy and dirty. Some reorganization would be awesome. This also brings the downside of being translated. If an option has been translated once, and then the string is changed in the en-US pack, it messes up everyone’s translation.
Personally, I really don’t think I need to add a ton more to ThunderBrowse, it’s got a lot of features already, and while it doesn’t do a lot of things (plugins [unless you use TB 3], checkboxes, file uploads, onsubmit, printing, yada yada) it still gets the job done.
Though I have noticed support requests are starting to get more frequent, mainly for a “Stop asking on Visit in Browser”. I’ve added something about it to the FAQ now.
Edit: I changed the combo to Ctrl+Alt+T as Ctrl+Shift activates my 3D Desktop window.
