Browser tips

Bookmarklets

Aren't really hacks, just very useful for me to use with my minimalistic theme (no MoinMoin buttons or links, just a search box). As javascript: protocol is not supported I require an HTML macro.

External editor for textarea

Use the mozex extension to cto edit textareas with vim /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -e /usr/bin/vim %t or your favorite editor. Recent mozex versions allow keybindings by itself, otherwise you can use keyconfig.xpi extension to assign a key. In addition to the GUI configuration dialog you may add it manually to your prefs.js file (Ctrl-e):

 user_pref("keyconfig.main.xxx_key____mozex_edit_textarea__", "control][E][][/* CODE */\nmozexEditTextarea()\n][");

Hide navigation helpers

Add the following to your user css URL (for modern theme)

•   #pagelocation{ display:none;}
    #navibar     {display:none;}
    #username    {display:none;}
    #credits     {display:none;}
    #pageinfo    {display:none;}
    .editbar     {display:none;}

Show navigation helpers

Add a custom footer to your configuration with some javascript code (for modern theme) It will allow you to show the hidden elements pressing n (navigation), u (username), l (pagelocation) and t (toolbar edition) Additionally you can press e and r to get directly to edit page and the raw view. Tested in firefox.

// stop if we are on a editable element
