The browse-url-dwim from rolandwalker

browse-url-dwim's Issues

Some years back, I wrote a browse-url library similar to browse-url-dwim, in that it would search for for urls around the current context, and present a menu to choose from among the urls that were found, if more than one was found. Once you had selected an url though, it would ask you what you wanted to do with it - a selection of web browsers (user-configured), copy, or one could imagine other useful things like bookmarking via org-mode, etc.

This library has remained unfinished and somewhat buggy in my .emacs for several years, and now I am looking around to see whether there is some alternative, or whether I should finish it and make a package, and that is how I discovered browse-url-dwim.

Would you be interested in browse-url-dwim having an optional action menu as I have described, thus we could perhaps combine our efforts instead of there being two very similar browse-url libraries in the world?

Thank you,

How can I set the (browse-url-dwim URL) key (C-c b) to nil?

I want to bind the (C-c b) to 'org-iswtchb, then did (setq browse-url-dwim-keystrokes nil). But the (C-c b) still is binded to (browse-url-dwim URL). How I can unset it?

Thanks.

Ability to set default length of suggested URL within a prompt

I've modified the file browse-url-dwim.el to add a custom variable that lets the user specify the max length for the suggested URL within a prompt. This was necessary because the call to browse-url-dwim-get-url provided no opportunity to pass this value in.

Patch below (minimal modifications needed)
