I was using Vimperator so far that supported the keybinding C-i to open up Emacs (or whatever editor) so you can continue writing your text there. That was accomplished by creating a temporary file, putting the text you had so far in there, invoking the editor with that file as an argument and when the editor process died it would read the contents of the temporary file back into the textbox. Is that possible in Chrome or in Firefox's WebExtensions API, and if so how?
This is doable with the native messaging API: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Native_messaging
I created a simple demo extension a while back that does a very limited verstion of what you're asking about here: https://github.com/aswan/connectNative-example

Example, qbittorent can be made to open links that are of torrent files.

Is it possible to create links in a browser that will open the given file in Intellij? (Not full path, but entire package possibly ).
Idea is that this will be created for bitbucket.
There is an open feature request to add idea:// protocol handler.
At the moment it works on macOS only out of the box. For other platforms you can try the third-party solution or other workarounds from the ticket comments.
There is also a built-in web server providing the REST API to open files.
It will work with the relative paths only when the IDE is already running and the project is open: http://localhost:63342/api/file/relative/to/module/root/path/to/file.kt.
With the JetBrains Toolbox App installed one will be able to use jetbrains:// protocol for navigation, it's work in progress and should be available in 2019.2.
See JBProtocolNavigateCommand.kt for the reference:
// handles URLs of the following types:
// jetbrains://idea/navigate/reference?project=IDEA
// [&reference[X]=com.intellij.navigation.JBProtocolNavigateCommand[.perform][#perform]]+
// [&path[X]=com/intellij/openapi/project/impl/JBProtocolNavigateCommand.kt[:23[:1]]]+
// [&selection[X]=25:5-26:6]+
Sample URL:
jetbrains://idea/navigate/reference?project=IDEA&fqn=com.intellij.openapi.application.JetBrainsProtocolHandler#getParameters
Toolbox URL matches regexp:
"${JetBrainsProtocolHandler.PROTOCOL}([\\w\\-]+)/navigate/reference\\?project=(?<project>[\\w]+)(&fqn[\\d]*=(?<fqn>[\\w.\\-#]+))*(&path[\\d]*=(?<path>[\\w-_/\\\\.]+)(:(?<location1>[\\d]+))?(:(?<location2>[\\d]+))?)*(&selection[\\d]*=(?<line1>[\\d]+):(?<column1>[\\d]+)-(?<line2>[\\d]+):(?<column2>[\\d]+))*"
There will be also UI for copying TBX protocol URLs directly from the editor similar to the Copy Reference action in the context menu. The same will work for IDE settings navigation.
As an update to #CrazyCoder's answer
This works* on Mac currently. (unable to test on anything else personally)
* There are some issues:
There is no context menu option for generating this link from clicking on a line of code
The keybinding (see below) generates the incorrect path, and it needs to be modified manually by either changing the sources root temporarily, or typing the missing path parts by hand.
There is a keybinding you can use to generate the url, under Preferences > Keymap > Copy Path/Reference > Toolbox URL. Note that the cursor location when using the keybinding matters. From what I can tell, if the cursor is at the beginning or end of a line, it generates a url with &path=..., else it generates with &fqn=.... The fqn option will often link to the wrong area of the code, especially when interfaces, libraries, auto-wiring, or anything not a direct vanilla class/object/function is attempted to link to.
I have filed an issue with more details on the broken path generated by the keybinding: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-290640
I am trying to select a printer and print on chrome browser, using pywinauto, but I am not able to access the gui components. I can see the components in Microsoft Inspect.exe in UIAutomation mode. (See screenshot).
I have started chrome with --force-renderer-accessibility flag.
I tried several things but I am not able to access anything in the chrome window. Is it possible to access the chrome gui components using pywinauto?
screenshot: ]1
Probably you use default backend="win32" which is used when you call Application(). To use MS UI Automation you have to set backend="uia" when instantiating Application object:
app = Application(backend='uia').start('chrome.exe <other params>')
My student wrote example script dragging file from explorer.exe to Google Drive in Chrome. Is it working for you?
P.S. If you already use backend='uia', please provide more detailed description with some code and output.
I have recently downloaded my facebook archive, which is a very old account I started in 2009.
There is some conversations I would like to read, the main problem is that messages.html inside the zip weights 98 mo.
Unfortunately,neither mozilla or google chrome can open those 21109 lines of codes in a webview without crashing.
I could open the document with Notepad++, but it's just like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Could you help me please ?
Further to the LINUX comments, we can only assume you are trying to look (or search) inside the html file. You can use any good, text editor like: TextPad, EditPad, etc. You can also download "Unxutils" (not it is not mis-spelled) and use the Windows ports of grep/sed/awk/head/tail/cut etc. There maybe comments or answers posted to use Cygwin which work fine, but require the use of DLL libraries and such. The UnxUtils are stand-alone exe files are work right out of the box with no installation required.
If you are interested in getting some readable files for each conversation you can use the first part of this tutorial which generates csv files which are easily searchable.

Is it possible to build a Chrome extension, that when installed or updated, automatically adds a list of words to the user's custom dictionary?
We use a custom-designed Chrome extension at my company, and essentially I'm looking for an easy way to synchronize everyone's spellchecking.
(it would be messy to have everyone download the custom text file and move to C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Custom Dictionary.txt, or whatever the location is)
Thanks!
The best way to create your extension is probably with content scripts that detect user input fields and edit their input on the fly.
Chrome 45 and below does not have an API for dictionary access. Doesn't look like it's planned for either.
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/api_index
However, if you can find the path they use to their dictionary, and if it's not just bytecode or the likes (SPOILER: it probably is), - then you can probably append your dictionary to it. Use the fileSystem API to edit it:
https://developer.chrome.com/apps/fileSystem
Also, if you choose the fileSystem-path instead of the content-script-path then know that extensions cannot use the fileSystem API. You need to create it as a packaged app.

I have a simple flash activity that loads its text from an external file called QA.txt using the URLLoader function. I wanted to convert this file to html5 using Google Swiffy, which I have done, expect it doesn't seem to be loading the QA.txt file anymore. I believe it says this functionality is supported on their main website, so I'm wondering why it might not be working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Swiffy does indeed support URLLoader!
I think your problem is this: if you open up your converted html file in your browser and also open up the developer tools console (try hitting F12), you should see an error message along the lines of:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load .../...myText.txt. Cross origin requests are only supported for HTTP.
Because you've open up the converted html page by itself, your browser isn't letting the code in that page fetch any other files, because they aren't being treated as coming from the same origin (even though they might well be sitting in the same directory) due to the same origin policy.
To get around this, you should access the swiffy html by fetching it through a local web server, something like apache (php) or node (javascript).
(It should also be working normally if you upload it onto the internet.)
