Thanks for the tip. I just installed it, and it seems really nice. The autocompletion of flags is pretty amazing.


sort by: page size:

It also has 'Automatically popup New Flag dialog' which seems to be similar to what you want.

Is that what "flag" does? I like the minimalist interface, but it goes to far into "what the crap does this do" territory in a few places.

For anyone who forgot, we have a flag feature. Try it out. :)

I never realized it was a program until just now that you mentioned it. I only ever used that single page I linked when I came upon it one day while searching for how instructions affected the flags register.

Just use the 'flag' feature.

good to know, hopefully they will add it soon to work without flags

Ok, thanks I've updated that. Anybody have a hard number for the 'flag' option?

You can enable it in about:flags

You can actually search for ' -l' (two spaces in front) and abuse the man layout engine to find the point at which the flag itself is defined. Makes the man pages a lot more useful in my opinion.

this is perfect. might be a great way to handle feature flags for me.

Awesome concept! I've never been a fan of looking up flags in another tab, and hunting down which ones are in use. Just seems like it should be an automatic process. The explainshell website is great, but it doesn't work offline. Fish's man page auto-completion is useful, but it lists all the flags, instead of the ones currently in use. If I could have this for every command out there, along with the binary's location/version at the top, I'd be a happy camper.

Thanks. Would you mind moving the flag link location to not be on the rightmost edge? I think if you see below others also feel the same way. The right edge is the first place I instinctively click, and flag is the least likely use case.

I wrote my own flags package called flaggy and think its the easiest to use and makes the most sense! Up to 600 stars om github now. https://github.com/integrii/flaggy

There's also an experimental option to turn on in edge:flags.

Still being integrated - the next release will have a flag you can turn on.

Thanks for the feedback!

The flag is a bug not a feature! It was supposed to display the flag of the country the user is connecting form but I messed up the geolocation api and forgot to remove it :-) It is gone now. (actually replaced by a white image until I have time to work on geolocation again).

Having a "cool", darling of the media competitor is not so bad actually keeps me from getting too lazy.


See? You’ve already managed to figure out which flag to click despite your VERY exceptional situation.

This is great UI design.


You can use this now. Go to "about:flags" and enable "Tabbed Settings"

All it needs to do is move the flag you click on to the first free square starting at the upper-left. The cheat helped me see this in action, but I've forgotten how to activate it now. I'll have to look that up again to see if it's implemented in this version.
