Are there any key shortcuts? It would be great to be able to navigate without the cursor!

Active items should not be cleared from the download list.

Viewed content shall be downloadable (saved by user on disk) and copied to clipboard.

It's really frustrating, because I have multiple JDKs and JREs installed on my system, and Gophie seems to refuse to run from .exe with them. It seems like the minimum supported version is Java 8.

Allow creating, editing and deleting bookmarks.

There are two small typos in the exception error message:

"Ouch, an unknown error occurred."

This is a nice, elegant little client. One request: how about an option to move the nav bar to the top instead of the bottom?

I would love to see a feature to change the text size and font (preferably from a choice of system fonts).

Telnet items are currently not supported, but should launch the Operating System's preferred Telnet-client.

CCSO is currently not implemented, but should be natively rendered in Gophie.

Gopher urls around the internet tend to use a scheme in the form of
gopher://{host}:{port}/{type}/{selector} (?{query} is appended in the case of search results, though Gophie does handle this already). Entering these urls currently make Gophie send a selector called /1/ instead of (none) or /, bringing up a not found error on most hosts. Support for this form factor would be beneficial as it would be more compatible with the urls other clients use.

Also, at the moment (under Gophie 1.0) if I enter the URL gopher://gopher.somnolescent.net/aphrodisiac/aphrodisiac_-_01_this_nadir.wav, it will (as far as I can tell) try to load it as a menu and hang up. This would be resolved without any guesswork on the client's end by supporting and using item types in the URL, like gopher://gopher.somnolescent.net/s/aphrodisiac/aphrodisiac_-_01_this_nadir.wav (where s is the type used for wave files). It could then show the download prompt depending on if the type is text-based or not.

(As for why URLs in the form of gopher://{host}:{port}/{selector} aren't typically used, it's a matter of lessening the guesswork the client has to make. Not having the type in the URL itself would mean that I could have a file at gopher://example.com/file and the client would not know whether it is a directory, text file, generic binary, image, etc.. With HTTP this is a nonissue, as headers and MIME types could be used to tell the client what it will be receiving, but in the case of Gopher which is a headerless protocol it would be left up to the client to try and figure out what kind of file it is, going against the philosophy of the intelligence being held by the server as in RFC 1436.)

I might've overwrote/overstated a bit but feel free to let me know if you have questions, since I'm really liking this client and it's looking to be one of the best current graphical ones I've used. Cheers!

There is no home button in the navigation bar

Some gopher items have incredibly long text lines (e.g. floodgap root) and currently either exceed the horizontal space or break the line causing the line-numbers to mismatch.

Implement a handler that will ask the user to launch the system's maito handler.

Scaled images are distorted and they do not seem to be displayed properly in JEditPane. Find a different way of displaying Images with maybe more native components.

Cancel requests might throw an error later

The Gopher Home can currently only be changed through the ini file configuration. There should be a GUI-way to change the Gopher Home.

Is there a way to hide the line numbers down the left side? If not, could this be a feature request?

Thanks

Provide packages for Windows and Mac using the javapackager.

After a request is cancelled, no new requests can be made.

Currently downloads are only kept in memory and the history is not stored on disk. Use the ConfigFile class to also store the downloads.

The config file should also have a UI in the application which further provides configuration for all the font and color settings as well as importing predefined color settings from theme files.

It would be great it Gophie supports this file, especially ServerDefaultEncoding parameter as it's not possible to change encoding for site without editing program's config.

When the host was not found or the user enters a search keyword into the address bar, the host not found error is shown. Other browsers use a search engine in that case.

Allow the user to configure a default search engine and use that search engine when no host with the provided name was found
