Safari getting TABS and AutoFill!!

And last, here's one for anyone not convinced that Safari's bookmarks are weak...try opening a page from your history in Safari versus IE. Suppose that page in one you're not really sure of. In other words perhaps you looked at 20 pages on a site and you aren't sure which one you want to go back to. In IE, simply click on each in the History pane until you get to the page you want.

In Safari you have to keep re-opening the Bookmarks.

i checked this out. there is a history menu on the menubar that is pretty awesome. very organized into daily folders. they should probably subdivide it into domains though, you're right.

i think they should take the history integration out of the bookmarks, too, and implement something like IE or chimera. ultimately, the sidebar in chimera is MUCH better than IE or Safari's history stuff. and i prefer chimera's bookmark design. i mean, gosh, keywords rock. i missed that the first 5 minutes of using tabbed safari last night. i went back :(
 
I have updated to the newest version...

Installed safari enhancer and checked tabbed browsing and AutoComplete..

Now why dont my forms autocomplete?

Re: Tabbed browsing

Lotus Notes R5 (vintage 2000) looks pretty similar:

Use cocoa gestures with Safari

HAH! this is great and I can't wait for a final release with these features.... ya know why? Cause Safari is a cocoa app and that means you can use Cocoa Gestures with it (tried it out and it's awesome!).

If you haven't discovered the beauty of mouse gestures you are missing out on the best new interface feature EVER! Do a search and grab it up.

What it does is allow you to predefine per application mouse gestures to perform menu actions (like next tab/ prev tab/ open + close bookmarks/ minimize and more). Mouse gestures are defined as up and left or left/right/left or left up right down (a circle - i use as 'refresh') and are activated by holding down one or more button / key combos and performing a little wrist gesture with the mouse.... I use my middle button / scroll button (the best).

So now with tabs I can comfortable open a new tab (up) open my bookmarks (right / up) and open a site, then if I want to go back to a previous tab (left). So that's U, R-U, Click, L with mouse movement of barely an inch.

Try it, it is on par with Virtual Desktop and DragThing in the top new interface tools ever.

Trust me Safari w/ tabs and Gestures are a match made in heaven.

Well, he has a post count of 2 and both have had to be edited. That isn't the best way to get started out here.
 
Re: No need for the debug menu

I'm sorry, but I see plenty of need for the debug menu. Sure, not everyone will need it, but it is very useful. I not only use it for web design (testing efforts) but I also use it to access my account info online. I normally browse with the default user agent settings (just so sites know I'm a safari user), but I'll switch it to an IE user-agent for sites that restrict certain browsers. That's useful enough functionality that I certainly hope the debug menu, in some form (even as a set of options in the browser's preferences) makes it into the final product.

Where is this 'debug' menu?? :confused:

I know its not out yet...but is that menu new in the next version? Or am I just a little slow?

To activate the debug menu, get a copy of Safari Enhancer.

There are other apps and ways to do this, but I find this one the easiest!

Open up the app and the steps to activating the menu are straight forward! :)

Hope this is of use!

The other way is to pop up an instance of Terminal.app and type in the following line:

Code: 
defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

To disable the debug menu:

Code: 
 defaults write com.apple.safari IncludeDebugMenu 0

This must be done while Safari is closed.
 
soooo cool, i now have tabs :D


oh and i cant remember if safari has EVER crashed on me :D

I'm with you Doc. Does anyone know if this feature will not work till the public version is released?

P.S. TABS ROCK!!
 
I'm not impressed. The Safari implementation of tabs is weak, at best. On top of that, it's still the ugliest browser Apple could have churned out.

OK. but trust that apple will add features to its tabs, possibly before the official release. I also thing that there is a great deal of innovation in this browser. it is far from the ugliest browser apple could have made. you should be more creative:rolleyes:. if you dislike the brushed look, this is very easy to alter; i certainly did so. now it looks just about like every other browser i have ever seen, though i still have issues with some of its renderings.

The autocomplete feature is known to not work in v62. The next version is supposed to have this working (at least somewhat.)

The tabs on Safari v62 still have a little to be desired. For the most part, they're great, but there are issues when too many are open at once. Also, Cmd-W will usually close the current tab (as it's supposed to) but will sometimes close the entire window.

Everyone, keep in mind that Safari is in beta. Most companies would not release something this unfinished to the public. With that said, I feel Safari is a more polished application than the final versions of many apps out there. However, it is unfinished. You can bash it on appearance however much you like, but complaining about something not working properly is, at this point, a bit premature.

Thanks. I thought i was the only one. :) I was signing up for netflix.com and thought I was losing it.

I imagine it will use the data in our addressbook profile?

Thanks again.

Love the tabs, but not the bugs. After trying it out for a few hours, I uninstalled it. I would open up a window and the text would be huge...also too inconsistent with page rendering. Just wondering if anyone else was having the text problem. Page would be perfect one time and all askew the next. Has great promise, though!

Oh yeah and I noticed too many spaces next to the username. Dunno why...

Edit Whoops another bug it seems. I put 1 space after 'Post One' but more than 12 spaces after Post 2 and they Show up Top/Bottom of each other.
 
Hello:

I'm new and I've been reading over everyone's posts, so I found somewhere to get v62 but I can't get it to work with tabs. I put in the termainal code line thing, got the debug menu, turned on tabbbing, but the tabs don't come up.

thanks
