Yank: URLs with non-ASCII symbols are escaped despite the option in about:config #43

Open selurvedu opened 9 years ago

selurvedu commented 9 years ago

In Firefox there is a preference in about:config called network.standard-url.escape-utf8 which disables escaping non-ASCII characters when copying URLs. When y is pressed, the escaped URL is always yanked despite of that preference.

I solved this for myself using this map snippet, but I skipped the util.losslessDecodeURI part because it ignores the about:config preference too, so my map line in .pentadactylrc looks like this:

map y -js dactyl.clipboardWrite(options.get("yankshort").getKey(buffer.uri) && buffer.shortURL || buffer.uri.spec, true)

This issue was reported earlier, and a patch was proposed, but Google Code issues are now all gone – by the way, why? The project status can be unset from 'Moved' on Google Code so all the issues are viewable again.

vimperator has an option "yankencodedurl", but it's apparently absent in pentadactyl :(
