[9fans] save a link in abaco

[Rudolf Sykora]

Hello,

if I have a link to a file in abaco, how do I save the file?
I noticed that a middle-button click copies the file URL to the bottom
of the abaco window, but my attempt to write hget in front of it and
middle-button sweep over it didn't work.

Also, is there any quick way of opening a link in a new window?

Thanks
Ruda

Hello,

it seems to me that it is nearly impossible to snarf a longer text
from abaco. As if the pertaining buffer was really small.
Is it only I noticing this behaviour? Also I am having problems with
marking the text in abaco from time to time...

Thanks
Ruda

exactly.  the html entities are generally very small.
if you find a big <pre> formatted section, you'll
notice you can snarf the whole thing.  the problem
is spanning entities.

the structure of libhtml makes the problem complicated
to solve.

searching can't work for similar reasons.

Ok. Thanks. That's a pity...
