Would it be possible to emulate into Egoist/devdocs-app the following features of Thibaut/devdocs:

  1. the mouse-less usage.
  2. the ability to create/usage tabs and links.

It is by far easier to use Thibaut/devdocs mouse-less. However, Egoist/devdocs-app is much lighter in resource usage. So, if Egoist/devdocs-app emulates/adopts the above functionalities then it will have major advantage over Thibaut/devdocs. Until then i'll be working in Thibaut/devdocs.

Keep on the great work!

  1. the mouse-less usage. What functionalities do you want to make this possible?

  2. tabs is in the plan, and should be easy to implement. However I don't have much time for this, so maybe it comes in weeks.

@egoist: mouse-less as a minimum I would suggest the following (available in Thibaut/devdocs): 1) Ability to select and activate any hyper-link which enables jumping across devdoc and external articles. I very often use this functionality for example in Thibaut/devdocs: i open Firefox (equipped with Vimperator add-on), open devdoc, any article with hyper-links, keyboard scroll to any page; next esc and press f (Vimperator functionality) -> highlights hyper-links and enables selecting a number and keypad to jump to that particular link. See it at work below: hyperlinks_heighlighted_ready_to_jump

2) tabs (available in Zeal) - very handy.

Let me know when you release the functionalities above. Keep up the good job!
