many thanks for your response!

Ctrl-Home and Ctrl-End should already do it.

Indeed, they do. Is there a way to bind Home and End
to these functions (sorry, but I am used to this
type of binding :wink: - maybe this is one of these Unix vs. Windows
things again ?)

[Search features wishlist]

These may be possible, but would have to be done at the C++ level.
Enter feature requests for them.

Just to be sure: via sourceforge, right?
(Should I send an e-mail to Vaclav Slavik as well ?)

Probably very difficult, but that hasn't stopped Vaclav in the past. :wink:

     something which is possible/planned for the future?

Not with wxHtmlWindow, but once we have pluggable html viewer windows
(wxHtmlWindow, embedded IE, or embedded Mozilla, all available via the
same API) then it would probably be doable. That's going to be a while
though.

Should I enter (seperate ?) feature requests for f) and g) as well?

Many thanks,

Arnd

No, just the defaults from the wxScrolledWindow that wxHtmlWindow derived from.

You can catch the key events from the wxHtmlWindow and call Scroll yourself.

Yep. wxWidgets download | SourceForge.net

He will see it there, and is probably reading this message too.

Yes, the requests should be separate.

To be honest wxHTML will never display MathML, unless either somebody
else implements it or somebody pays me to implement it. You know,
it's not something you commonly need... OTOH, as Robin said we plan
to wrap Mozilla, which should help (you may wish to check out
wxMozilla project, too).

As for f), I plan to include it in Documancer (a separate project), if
I find an intelligent way to do it, so we can consider backporting it
to wxWindows if I succeed. I'm not sure it's worth it in generic
purpose help viewer, though (I have no intention to use any other
language than Python in Documancer, so it would have to be rewritten
in C++).

Regards,
Vaclav
