A better way to access commonly accessed bookmarks/links.
After switching to neovim, I realized navigating in the browser could also be done by vim motions. So I got Vimium. But it had one problem, the bookmark feature doesn't function on the chrome's default new tab. Now that I love the customization of keybinds to various commands I can have in neovim, I thought why not have something like that for the links that I access often. Additionally, I'd get experience building my first extension!
Now I can just choose a shorthand (eg. ats
) for the url I want to access (eg. https://github.com/ParamBirje/auto-sslx) and whenever I feel like accessing that link -
- I press (
t
orctrl+t
) to open a new tab - Type my shorthand and enter!
turbomarks-demo.mp4
- Press the key
;
in the searchbar and press space to activate Turbomarks. - Now enter the shorthand you had set for a URL you want to access.
- To add a new turbomark, click the extension icon in the extensions toolbar/area.
- Choose a shorthand
- Enter the URL you want to map the shorthand to
- For now there's no update button on each item, but you can use the same form fields to update the shorthand URL
- Just enter the same shorthand (that you want to update the URL for)
- Assign the new URL and click
