Can I open urls from the gui?

[mcarifio]

There doesn't seem to be a window to type in urls. This is by design?

[jdm]

By default, yes. A GUI with a url bar can be used by running index.html from https://github.com/glennw/servo-shell instead of another URL at program launch.

At the moment, Servo is a rendering engine rather than an "entire" browser.

There has been a couple experiments to add a UI on top of it (https://github.com/glennw/miniservo-gtk, https://github.com/pcwalton/miniservo-mac, https://github.com/glennw/servo-shell, possibly others) but I believe our current plan is to port https://github.com/mozilla/browser.html. See #5394

The README says on Mac Ctrl-L will spawn a dialog that allows browsing to a new URL, but this doesn't seem to work for me. Removing this might result in less confusion?

#7655. Thanks!
