per-domain/URL-pattern default to passthrough

[hyiltiz]

I would like to set the default input mode to passthrough for some websites, e.g. *.gmail.com, email.*.edu and localhost:8787 (RStudio). Reading #27 and issues linked to it and the documentations, it seems I could edit config.py using the command enter-mode passthrough, but the documentation only shows how to change settings based on domain/URL, but not run commands. If this is an implemented feature, could we include a few lines in the official documentation (and here)?

Duplicate of #35
There is no such facility at the moment.

Great, thanks! I'll stop tweaking and hacking.

I put this in the tabbedbrowser class.

if "localhost:888" in  str(tab.url()): 
            modeman.enter(self._win_id, usertypes.KeyMode.passthrough,reason='evil hack', only_if_normal=False)

To save some time anyone searching how to configure it:

with config.pattern("example.com") as p:
    p.input.mode_override = "passthrough"

This is very useful feature! Thanks for getting it in!

If you only want to set one setting for that domain, you can also do:

config.set("input.mode_override", "passthrough", "example.com")

if you prefer. See the documentation.
