Hi,
While I was writing the bookmark-related nodes for the Info
documentation, I realized that one feature that I'd like to have is the
ability to quickly open bookmarks, without having to go to the bookmark
page, find the right link, and open it (I often visit the same
webpages). So I needed a "quick bookmark" feature, but the current
situation in emacs-w3m doesn't allow easy manipulation of URLs; the
`w3m-uri-replace' approach would work, but it isn't flexible enough for
me (I'd like to reuse my quick bookmarks with other Elisp packages).
The attached patch adds a generic `w3m-uri-modify' function which calls
functions from a hook on the URL, so that users can write simple
functions and use them to modify the URL. It also removes the
non-interactive call to `w3m-uri-modify', changes the libqsearch
handler and `w3m-uri-modify' to return nil instead of the original url,
and puts them in the default list of functions to call on the URL.
With this patch, my "quick bookmark" feature takes two lines of Lisp;
the following comes from my ~/.emacs{,-w3m}:
* From ~/.emacs:
(setq ore-quick-bookmark-alist
'(("gnu" . "http://www.gnu.org/")
("iam" . "http://orebokech.com/")
("sf" . "http://online.securityfocus.com/")
("/." . "http://slashdot.org/")
("ell" . "http://www.anc.ed.ac.uk/~stephen/emacs/ell.html")
("news" . "http://fr.news.yahoo.com/")))
* From ~/.emacs-w3m:
(setq ore-quick-bookmark-prefix "qb")
(defun ore-quick-bookmarks-handler (url)
"Check for a quick bookmark URL type.
If found, return the real URL of the bookmark, otherwise nil."
(when (string-match (concat "\\`" ore-quick-bookmark-prefix ":") url)
(cdr (assoc (substring url (match-end 0)) ore-quick-bookmark-alist))))
(add-hook 'w3m-uri-modify-hook 'ore-quick-bookmarks-handler)
I think my approach is better because:
- user configuration is made using hooks
- the URL manipulation is done only if called interactively
- using `w3m-uri-modify' is still possible for people who really want
to use it, but only for interactive calls (the fact that it was
called even non-interactively while the qsearch handler wasn't doesn't
seem really logical to me)
I might be wrong, though. What do you think?
Romain.
