@@ -33,13 +33,15 @@ have lots of keybinding possibilities. We stick to "one page per uzbl instance" because that's a simple, clean and flexible method. We believe "multiple instances management" is something that must be handled outside of uzbl by a separate/different program. Here are some solutions: - * many window managers can (and should) handle this by default. Xmonads tabbed layout, Wmii's stacked layout and so on. - * you can write a custom script.

Xmonads tabbed layout, Wmii's stacked layout and so on. + * Uzbl supports acting as a GtkPlug to plug into GtkSockets (Xembed) so you can embed uzbl instances in other Gtk applications. + This allows several implementatinos, a popular one is [uzbl_tabbed.py](http://www.uzbl.org/wiki/uzbl_tabbed) (TODO: include with sample scripts) + * If you want highest customizablity, you need the 3rd option: + You can also write a custom script. The only thing you need to do is focus/maximize the instance you want, keep the others out of sight and use tools like dmenu and wmctrl to switch instances. This allows you to use application-specific properties (such as uzbl tag, name etc). - For more information about this approach, see docs/multiple-instances-management - (we'll maybe include some sample scripts in the future) - * We might implement a GtkPlug (Xembed child) in the future. So you could abuse that. + For more information about this approach, see docs/multiple-instances-management. + (If you want to work on such script, let us know and we might include it along with the other sample scripts) ### What? No support for bookmarks/history/downloads/cookies/... ? Your project sucks! We do not support *management* of those things, because we believe a browser should only do browsing. We are firm believers in the unix philosophy. |
