HowTo, FAQ and Hints

This is a plain and unsorted collection of yawk related hints. If this list ever gets enough entries I'll think about structuring this better.

Access key hint for Opera

To make access keys work a little bit better in Opera do the following: Under "Settings" (usually "Ctrl+F12") you can define the key combination ". ctrl alt" to have the function "Enter access key mode | Leave access key mode" which does then the same as the original "Shift+Esc". Notice that "Alt+Ctrl+." is "AltGr+." on my keyboard which is only two keys to press.

How can I load a yawk wiki as sidebar?

The easiest way is to go to a wikifile's infopage and to choose the "Bookmark as sidebar" link.

What is the "side-search" mode?

The side-search mode is searching a wiki in sidebar mode with the framing option set to "new window". This will open all links of matching documents in a new browser window.

Why behaves the sidebar sometimes wrong? I use Firefox as browser.

Firefox insists on the link attribute TARGET="_self" to open links from the sidebar in the sidebar. I think this is wrong but nevertheless I try to support it. It is however difficult and some link I might have missed to adapt.
