You can also use it to make edits to a uri (press tab to load it into the search field) or type a url from scratch, though dmenu is not the most suitable editor. We're looking into a better way to make edits. -Zenity is also an option, if you want copy-paste support. +Tools such as Zenity are also quite suited for this. +And you can always make keybinds to load the current uri in the command field, paste/load urls from +clipboard etc. ### Where are the widgets (forward, back,.. button etc) Uzbl's layout only contains what you really need to see. we only have a statusbar, which even can also be disabled.

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. You have to look at the bigger picture. In fact, we do support all these things. Take bookmarks as an example: |
