AmiBrowser: new modern web browser

[ernsteiswuerfel]

I must say I am impressed with the speed of the browser and compatibility with my favorite pages & youtube! It seems to run snappier than Wayfarer on my MorphOS G5. Not magnitudes snappier, but noticeably nonetheless. I would not have expected that. Guess that's working in-browser JavascripJIT in Amibrowser vs. no JIT on Wayfarer... Youtube video playback itself is faster on my G5 though.

I know current Amibrowser is just a preview, but I noticed a few things not working or not yet implemented:

• PageUp/PageDown for scrolling text do not work.
• No Tabs (yet?)
• No Fullscreen mode (yet?)
• No in-browser pull down menues with right- or middle-klick (yet?)
• No Preferences (yet?)

I noticed a problem with AmiBrowser when a german keymap is used.

It seems key combinations where CTRL or ALT is needed are filtered out in the AmiBrowser window. For the '@' character with german keymap I need to press  'ALT GR' + 'Q' on my german keyboard. This works in the shell, in Redit, in Finalwriter, etc. but not in the AmiBrowser window. Which is rather inconvenient as often email adresses are used as user names on various sites.  :'(

An easy workaround would be to just use American/British keymap and get the '@' via 'SHIFT' + 'ä' on german keyboards. But as I was 'smart' enough to use german umlauts like 'ß' in various passwords I need the german keymap for that reason... 

Is there a chance this can be fixed in the upcoming versions?

I will look into it.
Do you have the german keymap set at A600GS/A1200NG  level or at AmiBench level?

Tnanks!

Both. At A600GS level it's German + German No Dead Keys and at AmiBench level also German keymap.

With this setting German umlauts and key kombinations work as expected on Amibench. In AmiBrowser I do get umlauts like 'ö', 'ä', 'ß' where no key kombination is needed. But as soon I additionally need ALT or CTRL like for '@' it does not work.
