Hi everybody, For Ubiquity 0.6 we want to include a whole bunch of new useful commands in the standard feeds. Let's talk about what should be included. I'd like to finalize the list of commands this week.
Commands that I would be really excited to have added are: - Go to (url) (where url uses a nountype based on your awesomebar, so it completes to URLs just like if you had typed into the awesomebar.) - Insert (url) (using the same nountype. I insert links into email a lot, and I always have to open a new tab to figure out the right URL, then copy and paste it. This command would save me a lot of time.) - Find (text) (Searches across all tabs for the given text, so can be used as a way to switch to a tab by content. Sort of like the "Leap" command described in The Humane Interface. I would use this all the time.) - Google (text) in this site (Uses google search-in-site with the domain of the current page. I would use this a lot too. I believe there's a third-party implementation that does this; we should approach the author about incorporating it.) I also think we should look at expanding the search commands to cover more international sites -- not just English-language sites. For example, I think we ought to include popular Chinese sites like Baidu, Taobao, and Youku. This is another way of reaching out to a more international audience, and complements our localization strategy. Beyond that, Heather has pointed out that the 3rd party commands for interfacing with Facebook are very popular and might be worth uplifting into the standard social feed. Heather, are there others that you know of too? I started a thread on my blog to ask about people's favorite 3rd-party commands. It's here: http://jonoscript.wordpress.com/2009/08/07/your-favorite-3rd-party-ubiquity-commands/ One person mentions a command called TextToLink which he thinks ought to be built-in. Finally, there was some discussion of image-editing commands during the last ubiquity weekly meeting, but that's another can of worms that I'd like to cover in a separate topic. Please share your suggestions for more commands to add in 0.6! --Jono --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ubiquity-firefox" group.
