Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention enable navigation in a web browser to be supported by a session browse history. In embodiments, a session browse history may be an n-ary tree data structure. Embodiments of the present invention integrated into a browser enable a user to access a session browse history tree via browser UI displays such as a navigation bar, a main tool bar, or a combination thereof. In embodiments, a session browse history tree may be exported to persistent storage, and may be imported into and integrated with an active session browse history tree. In embodiments, a stored session browse history tree may be updated in response to handling a caught browser event such as a “browser refresh” event, and in response to processing a user-initiated “go to” request from the browser UI. In embodiments, a currently stored session browse history tree may be returned in response to a request received from the browser UI.

Abstract: Particular embodiments provide a toolbar menu that includes one or more options that are valid for an object. A hot-key input is received that indicates a request for the toolbar menu. The request may be received while a user is using an application, such as a text editing application. The hot-key may be received from one or more keys on a keyboard and the request is associated with the object, which may be highlighted text. One or more options are determined that are valid for the object. For example, the application may be queried to determine which options are valid for the object. A toolbar menu is then displayed that includes the valid options. A selection from the user of one of the options causes an action for the option to be performed.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, an interface is provided between a software application and a hardware device transferring data between the software application and a network. The interface posts a request from the software application and, in response to a first polling inquiry received from the software application, determines whether or not an event signal corresponding to the request has been provided to it from the hardware device. The interface carries out a rearm routine if an event signal has not been provided at the time of the polling inquiry. A second polling inquiry is made by the software application after the interface is rearmed and the interface determines whether or not an event signal has been provided to it by the hardware device. The interface then carries out a wait routine which waits for the event signal if an event signal was not provided at the time of the second polling inquiry.
