Tips

I like Seamonkey 1.0* but some features that Firefox has were missing until I found these sites:

http://www.ironspider.ca/browsers/extmozilla.htm

"Here you can use an extension to add a Home button to the Seamonkey Navigation toolbar and hide your personal toolbar for more screen area."

"'Preferential' will allow you to run around backstage and make all kinds of advanced configurations to Seamonkey that are otherwise either not available or buried deep in the Seamonkey menu system."

"'Web Developer Toolbar' is a web developer's dream and if you want to see Seamonkey beat the pants off of that other big monopoly browser..."

Also this site has a fine extension just for Seamonkey that adds many features called MonkeyMenu:

CTRL + T Opens a New Tab.

CTRL + R
Reloads Current Tab.

ALT + Home
Loads your Home/Start Page.

CTRL + TAB
Changes to Next Tab.

CTRL + SHIFT + TAB
Changes to Previous Tab.

CTRL + Z
Undo.

CTRL + SHIFT + Z
Redo.

ESC
Stop.

CTRL + Click a Link
Opens in a New Tab.

CTRL + ENTER
Auto Complete URL to .com

SHIFT + ENTER
Auto Complete URL to .net

CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER
Auto Complete URL to .org

CTRL + SHIFT + T
Restore Last Closed Tab.

Seamonkey Composer Publishing

When you want to publish and you put in the site like so:

ftp://ftp.example.org/puppy/

composer assumes "directory" is relative to the path shown when you ftp to the site.

For example
If when you ftp to the site and the directory that it starts with is /htdocs
and you have a file to publish in /htdocs/puppy your URL would be
ftp://ftp.example.org/puppy/
NOT
ftp://ftp.example.org/htdocs/puppy/

NOTE:
I noticed that MonkeyMenu is not compatible (already fixed - see the italic statements below) with extensions like StumbleUpon that add toolbars. When MonkeyMenu over-writes the Seamonkey UI it improves it a lot by adding many features but at this time 2/2007 it can't see other toolbar type extensions so if you use Stumbleupon or other add-ons that add toolbars you should test how you like it with a live cd.

http://markbokil.org/index.php?section=tech&content=c_linuxmonkeymenu.php

"...add about 28 buttons to the Seamonkey user interface, collapse any toolbar, add/remove search engines, have your font zoom size reloaded, and use the new Search box feature. Basically the extension revamps the browser UI making it easier and faster to use."

I'm running them now in Puppy 2.13 and they work perfectly for me.

There is also a link to an experimental extension installer/uninstaller.
Be careful using this as it may mess up Seamonkey.

I am Mark Bokil, the developer of MonkeyMenu, SeaFox and SeaGnome. I saw on this that it says that Monkeymenu does not work with Stumbleupon and other toolbar extensions. This was fixed in the last version of MonkeyMenu and all toolbars work as expected.
