How to clear browsing history? (single adresses, one by one or whole history)

Settings -> OWB -> Privacy -> Save history

Yes, I can change it in prefs but it works 'from now on'. But how to clear history from past?
I let my friend to use my computer for 2 hours and my browsing history is messed up with entries I don't wish to see.

> how to clear history from past?

You can move the "History Entries" slider to 10. And if you move "History Age in Days" to 1 those 10 entries will be gone by tomorrow. Or simply have history saving turned on, click 10 random links, then restart OWB and the mess from your friend should be gone.

Thanks, I was considering this, but this way I will loose the whole history...
In firefox you just select the entry and press delete key. Simple and useful.
OWB developpers! Will you add this feature in next version?

> this way I will loose the whole history...

Yes, I meant to refer to the "whole history" part of your initial posting. I have no idea how to delete single entries in OWB.

DeveloperS? There's only one, actually. :)
Maybe I'll add that, i'll see.
But please note that for this kind of usage pattern that involves a guest who shouldn't add his personal data, you could tell him to enable "private browsing" option. This way, no cookie, history, password and co will be recorded at all as long as the option is set (on a per-tab basis).

The problem is, I noticed 'private browsing' AFTER my friend's session

I propose 2 more useful features:
- keystroke to switch between tabs (CTRL+TAB)
- RMB --> 'Search the Web' that opens in new tab

Good job any way, I would like to see OWB working in x86 linux.

How about Delete private data all / from last hour / last day / last week etc? (in other words, most recent data)

One more request:
Middle click on tab header closes tab
(so you don't have to click on [X] button)

Of course there are many more things I would like to see in OWB
like: mouse gestures, spell-checking etc, but the ones above are the most important.
At least for me

> spell-checking

Seems to come (scroll down to Fab's post):

This one is already implemented for a long time.

There's also ctrl + pgup/pgdown, and amiga+1, 2, n for specific tab indexes.

Indeed CTRL+TAB works. Not always though. If you click somewhere on web page it's deactivated.
[A]+PgUp/PgDown always works.
How about switching tabs using mouse wheel?
