K-Meleon - Adding a Macro Module

The K-Meleon web browser allows you to extend the functionality of the browser using macros. The K-Meleon Macro Module files have a .kmm extension. The kmm files contain K-Meleon Macro Language. Examples can be found in the K-Meleon MacroLibrary. And, if you wish to create your own macro, you can find guidelines on how to write the macro modules for K-Meleon at MacroGuidelines.

To make a macro available in K-Meleon, store the .kmm file in the macros directory beneath the install directory for K-Meleon, e.g., on a Microsoft Windows system that might be C:\Program Files (x86)\Network\Web\Browser\K-Meleon\macros, if you wish the macro to be available for all users.

E.g., if I wish to add the KmmW3C macro, which allows you to validate the HTML code on a webpage using The W3C Validation Service, you can use KmmW3C.kmm.

You can see that the macro file is recognized by taking the following steps in the browser:

  1. Click on the gear icon at the upper, right-hand corner of the browser window.
  2. Select Edit.
  3. Select Preferences or you can skip the first two steps by hitting F2.
  4. Click on Macro Extension under K-Meleon Plugins.

    K-Meleon Macro Extension

    You should see the macro in the list, e.g., the kmmw3c macro extension, which I've added, appears in the Macro Extension Plugin list above.

To use the macro, though, you will need to close and reopen the browser. For the W3C macro, once you reopen the browser, you can right-click on a web page and invoke the macro by choosing Send Page To then W3C Markup Validator or W3C CSS Validator for a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) URL.
