I tested in Firefox on Linux. It works well except:
1. Copy and paste does not work and this could be bad for basically every editing task (programming etc).
2. The screen freezes sometimes and keypresses don't appear. Usually pressing backspace unfreezes the screen. Firefox about:performance doesn't show any CPU usage in the tab. Linux's htop (on my machine) doesn't show anything strange with Firefox.
And a question: I saw that new files persist after closing the tab and opening it again. I didn't investigate my localstorage etc with Developer Tools. Did you use that or some other browser feature? How truly persistent are those files?
- apignotti 2y ago1. Support for traditional copy/paste shortcuts is problematic, since Ctrl-C is interpreted as the SIGINT signal. Copying via the mouse menu should work. Pasting is supported via Ctrl+Shift+V. 2. We had these reported from several users and we will investigate as soon as we can: https://github.com/leaningtech/webvm/issues/102 https://github.com/leaningtech/webvm/issues/102 To answer you question: filesystem chunks are cached/persisted using a local IndexedDB. It provides a fairly strong level of persistence, although the user can wipe it out of course.
- pmontra 2y agoThanks for the reply. Copy&paste via menu works (I didn't think about it) and Ctrl+Shift+V works too. Ctrl+Shift+C opens Firefox's Developer Tools. It's difficult to find a reasonable shortcut.
- efreak 2y ago> it's difficult to find a reasonable shortcut I don't believe I've ever seen Ctrl+insert and shift+insert makes to anything _other_ than copy and paste.
- pmontra 2y agoIt works in GNOME Terminal on Linux too. I had no idea of that shortcut. Thanks. Why have everybody kept using Ctrl-Shift-C and Ctrl-Shift-V since forever included myself?
