works fine for me in chrome stable branch on ubuntu 32bit edit-- no i'm in 6.0.472.14 dev

I'm testing on Chrome 9.0.570.0 dev on win7 right now. CTRL-N causes a new window to open. Curious if this is platform specific. Can you switch to dev and let me know what results you get? If different than a new bug is warranted.

Works fine on the same version on Mac. Of course, ctrl-n normally goes down a line on a Mac.

Dear god, If you could combine this with a Google-docs-like collaborative editing feature, I could once again enjoy a life free of word processors, where the true meaning of Meta-Shift-^ could become known to the masses. That would rock. Just sayin'.

I felt the same way and started making my own editor: http://vianedit.appspot.com Unfortunately I had to make it use vi key-bindings since the emacs ones were incompatible with most browser defaults. But it's extensible like emacs, through Javascript. Someday I'll have time to finish it.

I see that you and I think alike... http://editmole.com (also on appspot).

I'm lazy so I went with the "notepad" style editor.

Now what I'd really like is the reverse: Webkit in an emacs buffer. That would totally rock I'd never have to leave emacs. I wonder how hard it would be to hack something up like that?

Maybe you could hack uzbl into emacs

That's called ezbl. https://github.com/haxney/ezbl

(I don't know if that's the best link; it was just the first that came up.)

Odd, I'm using "GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.2.0, NS apple-appkit-1038.25) of 2010-03-27 on gallifrey.local" and it still has the dashes on the modeline.

If you are going to use a prerelease Emacs, you should update it more frequently than every 7 months! (This particular change is from about two weeks ago.)

In my defense: it's a very stable prerelease copy.
