localhost URL does not work #254

awsp commented 5 years ago

It works for URLs but does not seem to work for any kind of http://localhost:xxxx It will be terrific if I can have my editor fullscreen while having the browser open. :)

Also one more minor issue:

When pressing Option+L the input focus is lost will require to click back to the input field to open URL.

Localhost support would require running a local web server. I think you can switch out the http:// protocol in your URL for file:// instead and that would work.

ps. I agree that the input focus being lost is an issue, too. Can confirm. Fortunately, @slashlos said in #250 that Helium will copy the URL from the clipboard if present.
