Oh thanks! Sure, I’m happy if you can add VSW to the Firebug extensions list.
I will release VSW with Firebug support in a couple of days

Ha! So it does. I’ve always used your Color Tip macro since version whatever of Komodo, and it just transferred from one upgrade to the next– so I never needed to look for the built-in color popup function.

Thanks!

Komodo has a builtin ColorTip, hold down CTRL key (or cmd on Mac) while moving mouse over a color definition string.

My macro is no longer needed

Hi Davide,
I’m using your ColorInfoTip in Komodo Edit 6 (I can’t believe something like this isn’t incorporated into Komodo by default). I’ve recently been playing with Komodo 7 and I get macro errors with ColorInfoTip, and the macro doesn’t run. From what I gather, this has something to do with changes that ActiveState made in their macro coding involving ‘view.document’. The error in question is this:

“Error while running in macro ColorInfoTip:

TypeError: ko.views.manager.currentView.document is undefined

exception[fileName] = chrome://komodo/content/project/peMacro.js
exception[lineNumber] = 814″

Is there a quick fix for this? A bit of code I can change? I’ve never worked with Komodo macro language.

Thanks…

I can’t find another way to contact you, but regarding the snippet on http://dafizilla.wordpress.com/2010/01/08/how-to-programmatically-change-xul-trees-pseudo-classes/#comments – as of Firefox 6, it should be updated to use encodeURIComponent instead of encodeURI, since data URIs appear to support fragment IDs now. It’s backwards-compatible too. (Ran into a bug in RSS Ticker because of it.)

The number one thing I use Chrome on Mac: Integration with the Keychain app where I store all of my username/password pairs. It also uses the certificates in the keychain so I don’t have to have separate certificates for my browser and the rest of the system. Fix those and then I’ll have a look at Mozilla Chrome, I mean Firefox.

if you ask to normal users why they use Chrome they will say “because it’s faster”

In real life, I’ve never heard this; I’ve had people tell me (in person-to-person conversations) they switched to Chrome because of a more minimal UI footprint at the top of the window. One of those people is a senior in a computer science program (in the US), and said nothing of performance. I’m not going to say that it didn’t factor into the decisions subconsciously, though.

(I’ve had exactly one person tell me that they switched to Chrome and performance explicitly factored into the decision. He was switching away from Internet Explorer, though, not Firefox.)

Why I must ignore you? The idea is fantastic, I simply use a different approach
