Question

Conkeror has changed the way I browse the web: it’s basically Emacs + Firefox with javascript based configuration in .conkerrorc rather than elisp configuration in .emacs.

I’ve built up a huge library of .emacs customizations over the years by getting little bits and pieces from others. I’m just starting with Conkeror but the fact that it uses JS (far more widely known than Elisp) must mean that there’s some amazing stuff out there.

Care to share your pieces? I’m particularly interested in stuff that interacts well with pages produced by Django (or other dynamic web pages).

For example, I’d love a Conkeror-based action recorder that let me browse a site and find bugs, and then immediately save & submit the sequence of actions as a bug report with a single keystroke. By including the JS actions required to replicate the error, it would be the ultimate testing harness — even better than Selenium because it would be totally keyboard driven.

Answer 1

Since no one else seems interested in posting an actual reply, I will.

function my_title_format (window) {
   return 'conkeror {'+get_current_profile()+'}'+window.buffers.current.description;
}

I find it helpful to have the profile name in the window title as I use multiple profiles. It doesn’t help me so much now that I use StumpWM and don’t look at the window list much, but it’s very helpful in other window managers.

define_key(content_buffer_normal_keymap, "C-x C-c", "confirm-quit");
can_kill_last_buffer = false;

These two keep me from accidentally closing a conkeror window by closing the last buffer.
