Request: context menu exposed when right-click, add a "view-source" command.
Choosing this will open a new tab and "display as text" the raw page content.
In this view, hyperlinks do not need to be clickable (user can cut/paste into addressbar)
and "Find text" toobar command function whould remain available for use.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I can make this even better: Add extra HTML (or "Page source" etc..) tab that
will show the source after page has loaded. That way user can keep that tab always open on the right and keep on surfing and it will be automatically updated without need for click.
I have been long thinking of implementing this basic functionality. Only thing that has keeped me back is the syntax highlighting.
Probably I will add that later and first just show the raw source without coloring.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If the right-side pane auto-updates, displays source of the currently focused browser tab, that would be good... but better IMO would be to display the source in a content tab, and specifying mimetype text/plain. When such a tab has focus, the app titlebar displays the source url.
This way, multiple view-source tabs can be opened simultaneously. Important because it's often desirable to jump back and forth between them, comparing A vs B.
Anyhow, thanks for your openmindedness in considering this idea.
