Lispkit

Overview

A WebKitGTK(GTK3, WebKit1) micro-browser based on Luakit

Interface with webkit in Common Lisp via Steel Bank Common Lisp’s C Foreign Function Interface

User interface via webviews using CoffeeScript/Jade/Stylus and functions exported in to the Javascript Context

WebKit2 features thread separation, preventing raw access to the Javascript Context needed to insert native functions.

Key events

Key events are processed using the default X Input Method enabling XCOMPOSEFILE sequences

The event propagation is then stopped so they don’t leak to the webview like a current bug in luakit

defscript

A system for modifying webviews selected by uri matches

• Apply css
• export functions
• evaluate javascript
• base html for user interface pages

Installation

WebKitGTK

Patch

Allow ui webviews to request a size smaller than than their page content.

Set the gtk3 natural and minimum height of a view to 0.

Haven’t found a way to override this through cffi.

sed -i 's/\*minimum = \*natural = view->contents\(Width\|Height\)();/\*minimum = \*natural = 0;/g' ./Source/WebKit/gtk/webkit/webkitwebview.cpp
