Re: Navigation by pages

Hi,

>Works fine for me!

Thanks! I have also added two other improvements (last ones I promise). 
Clicking on the up and down buttons of the scrollbar in page mode jumps 
to the top and bottom. And scrolling a full page, now takes into account 
if the horizontal scrollbar is visible or not when computing the 
overlap, so the number of pixels of overlap you specify are always 
duplicated in the next page.

Now I'm starting to miss the page scrolling mode in other programs...

I agree. Okay, so I will flip those then.

I decided to leave on YES for a simple reason: the laptop I was using 
Dillo on didn't have a middle button, so the only way to close the tabs 
was to press both buttons at the same time to emulate the middle one (or 
the X button). So I assumed that it is possible that the same scenario 
happens to other people too which only use an old laptop, and they may 
think that the only way to close tabs is on the X button on the right, 
as we don't have an X over each tab.

Of course you can always change it to your preferences, but I think it 
is a safer default this way to be easily discovered. In any case I have 
not done any research to back my claims.

On my desktop I also use the right button, because I don't like clicking 
the mouse wheel (I think in my mouse is really hard to press), but this 
doesn't justify the defaults.

I would also prefer opening new tabs without the mouse wheel button or 
the keyboard. So far I can to by clicking and holding the right button, 
dragging a couple of pixels to the right to open in a new tab, then 
releasing it. I'm thinking it may be nice to make this work without the 
need of dragging, so by default it selects open in a new tab. We can 
place a threshold to not consider quick press and release events to 
cause the selection to be clicked.

The same may be also doable with the left button, so if you click but 
keep it pressed for a configurable threshold it is opened in a new tab 
(of the other way around).

Best,
Rodrigo.
