I want to add a suggestion to the hotkey shortcuts section: I use the Chrome/Firefox addon SurfingKeys [0] with my own configuration [1] in which I’ve added search engine auto-suggestions for just over 50 sites. So, for example, to start searching Google Scholar I type `ags`, or to search GitHub I type `agh`. Check out the screenshots [2] to see what I mean.
I’m currently working on cleaning up the code and making installation as simple as pasting a GitHub release URL into the SurfingKeys settings. I hope to have this done within a week or two.

- jraby3 5y agoThis sounds similar to the !bangs in DuckDuckGo, like !yt for YouTube or !gi for google image search. It’s one of my favorite features.
- maddyboo 5y agoYeah, it’s essentially the same concept, but with suggestions shown immediately for the context you’re searching in. For example when searching Wikipedia you’ll get snippets of articles and thumbnail images. You can even access DDG bangs using `aD!<bang>`. I’m also looking into adding first class support for DDG instant answers.
