(11:49:45) sl: is it possible to select text in charon?
(11:53:39) mjl-: nopes, not that i know of
(11:54:01) mjl-: i think you can copy urls of links with button2
(11:55:18) sl: yes, apparently you can button 2 on links and they show up in the status bar. then click snarf.
(11:57:01) sl: was it just an oversite, or was there some compelling design reason not to add mouse selection?
(11:57:16) sl: s/oversite/oversight 
(11:57:50) mjl-: probably it was a design reason :)
(11:57:57) mjl-: it does require effort to get text selection
(11:58:15) sl: i think my mouth actually fell open when i realized it wasn't there :)
(11:58:28) mjl-: it's pretty much the difference between "rendering the text and forgetting about the text" and "constantly keeping trace of text and which mouse positions map to which text"
(11:58:33) mjl-: yeah, it sucks :)
(11:58:35) sl: out of all the browser complaining i've read in the 9fans archives i never saw it mentioned
(11:58:59) sl: aside from that though it's very snappy
(11:59:45) sl: inferno was so sluggish on plan 9 accessed through drawterm; it feels incredibly fast hosted on openbsd
(12:00:08) mjl-: too bad it doesn't do css either.  there is a css library, so i've wondered where it was used for.
(12:00:19) sl: interesting
(12:00:32) mjl-: drawterm makes it much slower than you want
(12:00:39) mjl-: so it's not really a fair comparison :)
(12:01:10) sl: right, i didn't realize the factors involved, before. i just read some technical discussion about the reasons why on 9fans (circa 2005).

(14:19:09) MrWGW-: 1fun stuf
(14:19:16) MrWGW-: by the way,
(14:19:24) MrWGW-: I was porbobaly the very first guy ever to fire up Solaris on OS X 10.5
(14:19:40) MrWGW-: the night it was released I bought a copy of it and one of the first things I did later that night was install Inferno in a VM
