Using command line actions in Midori

2.9k views Asked by At

I'm trying to control an existing instance of Midori, I launch it with

midori -e fullscreen

which works properly. Then commands like

midori -e next

midori -e back

work properly. But when I try to do

midori -e Location www.google.com

it gives me the error

** (midori:1107): WARNING **: Unexpected action 'www.google.com'.

I've tried a dash, colon, double quotes around the URL, but everything gives the same error.

I know that I can just pass a URL on the command line but that launches a new instance of Midori which is what I'm trying to avoid. Any help is appreciated!

I found another question asking this same thing but it was unanswered so I wasn't sure the proper approach to reopening it...

Using a full URL (including scheme) works for me. Try

midori -e Location https://www.google.com
