[with patch, positive review] add support for Google's new browser to the notebook

[Martin Albrecht]

It renders fine (rendering is done by WebKit?) but the keyboard input doesn't work completely (since it is a new JS engine I suppose).

Here's what I could get out of

As you can see, the good keys aren't recognized at all.

key_shift = "16,16!" key_ctrl = "17,17" key_alt = "18,18" key_home = key_end = key_pgup = key_pgdn = key_bkspc = key_spc = "32,32" key_enter = "13,13" key_tab = key_q = "113,113" key_w = "119,119" key_e = "101,101" key_r = "114,114" key_t = "116,116" key_y = "121,121" key_u = "117,117" key_i = "105,105" key_o = "111,111" key_p = "112,112" key_Qu = "81,81!" key_Wu = "87,87!" key_Eu = "69,69!" key_Ru = "82,82!" key_Tu = "84,84!" key_Yu = "89,89!" key_Uu = "85,85!" key_Iu = "73,73!" key_Ou = "79,79!" key_Pu = "80,80!" key_a = "97,97" key_s = "115,115" key_d = "100,100" key_f = "102,102" key_g = "103,103" key_h = "104,104" key_j = "106,106" key_k = "107,107" key_l = "108,108" key_Au = "65,65!" key_Su = "83,83!" key_Du = "68,68!" key_Fu = "70,70!" key_Gu = "71,71!" key_Hu = "72,72!" key_Ju = "74,74!" key_Ku = "75,75!" key_Lu = "76,76!" key_z = "122,122" key_x = "120,120" key_c = "99,99" key_v = "118,118" key_b = "98,98" key_n = "110,110" key_m = "109,109" key_Zu = "90,90!" key_Xu = "88,88!" key_Cu = "67,67!" key_Vu = "86,86!" key_Bu = "66,66!" key_Nu = "78,78!" key_Mu = "77,77!" key_1 = "49,49" key_2 = "50,50" key_3 = "51,51" key_4 = "52,52" key_5 = "53,53" key_6 = "54,54" key_7 = "55,55" key_8 = "56,56" key_9 = "57,57" key_0 = "48,48" key_bang = "33,33!" key_at = "64,64!" key_hash = "35,35!" key_dollar = "36,36!" key_mod = "37,37!" key_caret = "94,94!" key_amp = "38,38!" key_ast = "42,42!" key_lpar = "40,40!" key_rpar = "41,41!" key_minus = "45,45" key_under = "95,95!" key_plus = "43,43!" key_eq = "61,61" key_lbrace = "123,123!" key_rbrace = "125,125!" key_lbrack = "91,91" key_rbrack = "93,93" key_pipe = "124,124!" key_slash = "92,92" key_colon = "58,58!" key_semi = "59,59" key_quote = "34,34!" key_apos = "39,39" key_bslash = "47,47" key_quest = "63,63!" key_comma = "44,44" key_dot = "46,46" key_tilde = "126,126!" key_tick = "96,96" key_lt = "60,60!" key_gt = "62,62!" key_left = key_up = key_right = key_down =

From ddrake:

When using the notebook with Google Chrome, tab completion does not seem to work; when one hits tab, you just get an orange box around the "evaluate" link. It seems to be using tab in the usual way (to move from one input box to another, etc) instead of doing the completion.

Of course, Chrome is so new that this may very well be a bug on their part, but it's worth investigating.

I found something related in their issue tracker

​Issue 1355: Arrow keys do not work in Street View popup window from Google Maps

i think, let them first get google maps right ;)

Keyboard support for Chrome 2 & Safari 4 on Windows and Chromium 3 on Linux.

[Mitesh Patel]

Modified keys_capture.html that formats key information for keyboard.py.

[Mitesh Patel]

keys_capture_v2.html can capture key information and output it in keyboard.py's format.

According to its output, Chrome 2 and Safari 4 on Windows XP have the same key codes. The same codes, except for KEY_SHIFT, work for Chromium 3 on Linux.

Note: There's still a serious stylesheet gzip-encoding problem with Chrome 2 on Windows, but that should be a separate ticket.

Merges fine, and Chromium detects keys properly now.

What should be merged and in what order?

Replying to mvngu:

What should be merged and in what order?

Just trac_4046-chrome_and_friends.patch​. The key capture utility might be useful in the future, but it'll be available here. If/when we switch to using ​jQuery Hotkeys in the notebook, the patch may become obsolete, too.

There is no 4.1.2.alpha3. Sage 4.1.2.alpha3 was William Stein's release for working on making the notebook a standalone package.
