input mode when quitting inputbox #630

Open Rhylx opened 4 years ago

Rhylx commented 4 years ago

Hi,
I don't understand why vimb is going to input mode when quitting inputbox. I would like to be in normal mode.

Steps to reproduce

When pressing o in normal mode and entering a URI and then pressing the page is loading but I'm in insert mode and I don't know how to change this behaviour.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Rhylx

@Rhylx If you open a new url and vimb is in insert mode it means the page set the cursor via JavaScript into an input or textarea field. If you open a page without JS and forms like https://fanglingsu.github.io/vimb/ you should end up in normal mode.

Oh, I see. But for example if I'm searching for something with searx, I get in insert mode, but you're right it isn't the case with Google for example. So I could maybe try to look at how searx works

But actually I tried it in qutebrowser and it doesn't directly go to insert mode. It stays in normal mode. Couldn't it be the same here in vimb?

In the past there was an option in vimb to disable going into insert mode without interaction. I assume that there is something similar in qutebrowser too, that pervents pages from disturbing the user by forcing focus on form fields. As I can remember, I didn't git it working in an acceptable way and different use-cases:
