With Firefox: instead of a simple bookmark or the browser homepage, I added a bookmark with a "g" keyword ( http://www-archive.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html http://www-archive.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html ).
Then I can use the GitHub launcher without having to touch the mouse:
⌘+T, g, ⏎, my-github-command, ⏎.
- bbx 14y agoCan you tell me how you made it work? Adding a keyword for that field uses the following URL: https://github.com/search?q=&type=Everything&repo=&langOverride=&start_value=1 https://github.com/search?q=&type=Everything&repo=&#... which ends up as a regular search. So typing "g @mojombo" doesn't bring me to his profile but rather triggers a regular search.
- ludwigvan 14y agoHe doesn't do that, he presses enter after g to get to the launch page, and searches from there.
- burke 14y agoWith Alfred on OS X, I created an extension (http://cl.ly/image/3U3V2h1X2U02 http://cl.ly/image/3U3V2h1X2U02) and a hotkey: (http://cl.ly/image/3s3A0B0g2120 http://cl.ly/image/3s3A0B0g2120) Then I can do: ⌥⌘L, my-github-command, ⏎.
- tankbot 14y agoBeat me to it, nice :) But why do you use that keyboard combination over the default option+space? EDIT: Ugh, nevermind - brain fart, my apologies for the slight odor...
- skidding 14y agoSorry if I'm missing something that's right in front of me, but can you tell me how to setup that for myself? EDIT: My Alfred interface looks considerably different (http://cl.ly/image/1c3K1w0U182R http://cl.ly/image/1c3K1w0U182R) yet it seems to be up to date (1.2) EDIT #2: OH, it's the paid Powerpack isn't it?
- mofle 14y agoWhy do it so convoluted? Just create an URL hotkey: http://i.minus.com/ivEwdZPVJYHA7.png http://i.minus.com/ivEwdZPVJYHA7.png
- kmfrk 14y agoSame concept in Opera: 1. Right-click bar. 2. Add search shortcut 3. In your address bar, type: <shortcut> <query> You could also just add the site as a Fluid app, I guess.
- sp332 14y agoNot quite the same functionality but on that page you can click the drop-down on the search bar and "Add GitHub". Then the github command line is one of the options for search providers alongside Google, Wikipedia etc. If you select it as the default, you can Ctrl-K up to the search bar and type a command without leaving the keyboard. Also (and I'm not sure how useful this is) you can select some text, right-click it and execute it as a GitHub command.
- samirahmed 14y agoThats fantastic. However github would be better served if the github.com put the tab focus right inside the command bar. That way their would be no need for /launch at all...
- acabal 14y agoI've been using FF for years and never knew it could do this. This is awesome, thanks!
