Open new private window command

[omar-selo]

I wonder if there is an open private window command similar to that to winopen. If not would it be possible to add one? Also using hinting to open a new private window would be nice too.

winopen -private, which I now realise is undocumented. There isn't any hint mode for it, yet, but I don't believe anyone else has asked.

Should we add a hint -P (private) option, or something similar?

Thanks for pointing out the winopen -private option. Is there a
default keyboard shortcut assigned to it?

If not, may be we should assign one as default. Is patching
config.ts still the preferred way to adding default shortcuts?

I'm still using the tri.config.get("nmaps") to review the current
bindings. Is there any other way to see them?

Thank you.

I think this could be very useful given that the hinted link would
open in the private window.

On the same train of thoughts, it might also be useful to have a
hint-mode to open targets in different Firefox context i.e. Work,
Personal etc.

Thank you.

P.S.

Going through the existing issues, it seems that #283 might be
along the same line as my request above.

No, but I am not sure we need a bind. We don't have many keys left. Which keys did you have in mind? Yes, config.ts is still the home of the default settings.

:get nmaps now works in a pinch by dumping the config in the command line, but the debugging approach has a much prettier JSON formatter.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I understand. Thanks.

I'm currently using ,w to open a new window, and ,wp to open a
new private window, where , is the preferred leader key.

On that note, do we have any setting to set the leader or
localleader keys in Tridactyl. In Vim, this is usually achieved by
the following:

  let mapleader = ","
  let maplocalleader = ","

  nnoremap <localleader>l :command-name <cr>

:get nmaps now works in a pinch by dumping the config in the
command line, but the debugging approach has a much prettier JSON
formatter.

Thanks for the :get nmaps hint and it works you mentioned.
However, I agree with you that the tri.config.get("nmaps")
approach indeed produces much more readable output.

Thank you.

Can you close this issue if you have no more questions? It helps to reduce the clutter.

Thanks. I have no more questions. But I don't seem to have
permission to close the issue.

May be @Bazalia (opened the issue) would have to do it.

Thank you.

Just one last question regarding the hinting. Will the open in private window be added?

[bovine3dom]

@Bazalia I've added it to the hintprivate branch but can't test it right now.

[bovine3dom]

@Bazalia, @IsaacKhor: added as hint -w and hint -wp in c042fd1 and bound to ;w and ;W
