Alhena 5.5.4
Version 5.5.4 is out. The two notable enhancements:
- An option to restore tab and window state at launch
- Tapping the F key displays link shortcuts
Saving tab state creates a json file for each open window on exit. These files can be found in the .alhena directory. There's an alhena:pagecache command to control how large these files can get. Oldest pages are discarded first if cache size is exceeded.
The F key is like holding down shift-control except you don't have to continue pressing any keys to use link shortcuts. I borrowed this from a well-known Gemini browser.
Soon after building and posting, I realized there's no way to access right-click options for a link without using the mouse. It only took a few minutes to make the G key display link shortcuts. The difference from F is that it performs a right instead of a left click. This lets you access popup menu options. That change is already committed if you build from source.
