'Home' button for toolbar/Seamonkey

Postby jksteinhauer » Sat 18 Feb, 2006 11:35 pm

Some time ago there had been a 'Home' button that could be installed in the navigation toolbar for Mozilla Suite so that if you wanted to do away with the Personal toolbar in 'view' you could so and still have access to your 'Home' button. I've done a search here in the forum to no avail. Does anyone recall this and is it available now for current Seamonkey suites?

You're most likely thinking of Project Home Button. I have no idea if it works or not in the newer Seamonkey builds, but given its simplicity, I don't see why it wouldn't.

Absolutely! Thanks Don. As soon as I saw the page open - that was it! Much appreciated. Thanks.

JK,
since I got you, and see that you are using the latest nightly, I am wondering how you are doing with your mail settings.
If you have a single mail account, you may not notice anything, but I have five accounts set up, but only one's settings are expandable. There is no plus or minus at the left of the name, so there is no way to set or change the server settings, or anything else which is variable. The last nightly which worked properly is the 2-10, which I still have. I tried at least four since then, and they have consistently failed. I tried to remove, and then add or set as default any of the weird account, and they stayed weird. I even tried two different profiles, with different order, and more accounts, and I got no more that two accounts working right. But, I get mail fine.
And, this must be a program problem, because I can use the same profiles with the 2-10 build, and it is ok.
Quite interstingly the 2-10 and the later builds are different in size. The 2-10 unzipped folder is 38.2MB, while 2-18 is 36.3 MB. did they leave something out? I will be checking this.

It does indeed work in SeaMonkey, and it's an extension that I definitely recommend.

That involves putting a finger from one hand on the Alt key, and taking your other hand off the mouse
and using a finger (index finger preferably) from that hand to press the Home key on the keyboard.

It's a lot easier to keep that hand on the mouse, and move the mouse pointer to click on an icon.

The button works fine. But, my other problem puzzles me. I will have to post separately.

ah yes - hopefully some day we can do away with that pesky keyboard altogether - and live in a world of icons and buttons.... :roll:

It's a bug, see this Bugzilla report. I've switched to the SeaMonkey 1.0 release, until this bug is fixed.

Out of pure curiosity, what kind of keyboard are you using? I can do that with one hand, though with a laptop trackpad, my hand is usually off the mouse anyway.

Confirming that ALT-HOME loads in the specified home page in SeaMonkey 1.0 for Linux.
