Fast Dial Feature Requests

Djblois —Sun, 09/21/2008 - 17:29

I would love it if Fast Dial would become even more useful than the current implementation.

1) Have a section to keep track of last 10 opened tabs (make it user configurable. In case I went to a website and didn't save it for later.
2) Have a save it for later section. In case I want to save a website for a temorary period
3) Have a search bar that has focus when I open a new tab, so I can start typing if that is what I want to do. And make it even better by filling the search box with any text that I just copied, so if that is right all I have to do is hit enter.

This would make Fast Dial extremely useful.

Please make all logos transparent. Then everybody can choose their own colors.

What you can do is give it a logo, or give it a screenshot that you make.

To get the search box to auto-focus:

Edit: \Documents and Settings\[[USERNAME]]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[[PROFILENAME]]\extensions\[email protected]\chrome\content\template\template.html

Replace:

With:

function setFocus(){ document.getElementById('searchbox').focus() } window.onload=setFocus;

Tested in FF 3.x and FastDial 2.14.

@sandwich

Many thanks for your most helpful post
A request was made some time ago if anyone know how to do this.
Good news

I tried copy pasting your code into template.html
And indeed it seems to have the desired effect.
Perfect
Thanks

A specific request was made for what you have achieved by Mafi0z here

Your fix will also go very well with Search Gradient Web 2 Stylish

Please try out the above Style in Stylish for the Search Bar in Fast Dial 2.14.

Please feel free to post in the other threads and I will remove my link there to this post.

The developer of Fast Dial has been made aware of your post, so hopefully this modification will be included in the next Version of Fast Dial.

Hi guys! I'm using Fast Dial 2.22b and there is no file named Template.html in the Template folder... So I created one and innocently pasted the "with" part of the script given submitted by Sandwich but it does not do the trick!

Anyone knows if it's normal that I don't have the Template.html file installed? Is it because Fast Dial 2.22b does not need it?

Still bottom line is there is no focus given to the searcbox...

Thanks in advance
