The site-specific search examples cited in the blog post are just about the lamest possible implementations of this API. I'd like to see things like an implementation of the built-in Bash commands, but mapped to various Web-centric commands:
ls: Parses the current page and lists the links.
cd: Change to another directory or page on the current site, relative to the current page.
history: Show the user's history.
source: execute a given JavaScript file in the context of the current webpage.
alias: Creates a new bookmark with a keyword shortcut.
export/echo: Set/echo JavaScript variables on the current page.
[...]
Actually, now that I've taken the time to write that out, I may just write this extension myself rather than wait for someone else to do it.
- cfinke 16y agoUpdate: The Omnibox API doesn't allow a single extension to register multiple keywords, so I'm moving ahead by registering "$" and then parsing the input for the shell command.
