(Enhancement) Support for... stuff #184

Open alicerunsonfedora opened 8 years ago

Aloha again,

There should be support for Adobe Flash Player as websites still use this old code. Also, there should be support for setting Liri as the default browser, which should allow inputs and outputs from other apps (meaning app URLs and protocols). I am aware that it's hard to implement, but I bet it can be done. Also, there should be better copy and paste. If I'm wanting to paste something into a textbox on a web page, it should be able to go in that textbox, not the URL bar; in addition, I should be able to paste into other apps from the copy menu.

I hope all my ideas, suggestions, and comments are helpful.

@ubunturox104 Okay, let me split this up:

  1. Adobe Flash support should come with Qt 5.6 when QtWebEngine gets support for pepper plugins (see https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.6)
  2. What do mean with "input and outputs from other apps" precisely?
  3. Copy and pasting should work. What do you mean with "it should be able to go in that textbox, not the URL bar"? Do you mean tab focus? Or are talking about the Ubuntu mobile version? In that case copy and paste are not implemented (yet) as we use a different engine (Oxide) there. Thanks for your feedback!

In response to 2: You know how Apple uses some fancy URL to open up the App Store or how opening a link in Nylas N1 opens up the browser? I'm referring to this. Liri doesn't want to open because it can't be set as the default browser. I imagine that even if it was set now, it wouldn't open the link because it wasn't manually typed in.

In response to 3: Say that I'm working in a Google Doc and want to copy a link and paste it somewhere else into the Google Doc. I hit Command-C to copy, but when I paste it, it appears in the address bar instead of where I wanted the link to be pasted. This happens every single time in any website, too.

In my latest commit I've added mimetypes to Liri, and also have Liri in the web browser category on Linux, so this will allow you to set Liri as a default browser, as well as open files with Liri (in the future).

Nice work @nickgermaine!

@ubunturox104 Google docs does a bunch of weird stuff to the clipboard :) Try in some other text box and see if it works better. (The github comment box for example)
