| Author/Contact Info | jZed |
| Description: | Zedulator is a chatterbox client that allows you to explore links mentioned in the chatterbox or entered in the search in the same window as the chatterbox. It requires only a javascript-enabled web browser to run, supports Perlmonks and customizable search shortcuts, and provides more control over screen layout than fullpage chat. You can see 309074 and 575798 for previous discussions about Zedulator.

<b>ZEDULATOR</b> tiles your browser with frames as shown in the diagra

The search results are, by default, targeted to the browsing frame. Li

The default search goes directly to Perlmonks search. However, if the
+search term starts with a forward slash, it gets treated as a <i>zedu
+lator</i> search and uses the built-in or custom zedulator shortcuts
+and goes directly to the requested page, bypassing Perlmonks. Custom
+ shortcuts can be calls to local javaScript functions, see the shortc
+ut definitions in zedulator.html.<br />
