I replied on the blog post to vote for a "go (to)" command. I
mentioned text2url but I didn't really feel like that meshed with the
Ubiquity way of doing things so I looked around for a true "go"
command.
I found something but it was not compatible with parser 2 so I
modified it to my liking. It took me about an hour as it was my first
Ubiquity command but you guys did a great job of making it super easy!
It was so easy, in fact, that I quickly made a second one to fulfill
another wish of mine: I hate it when someone references a bugzilla bug
outside of bugzilla and you don't get that handy little tooltip that
tells you the bug title and status. Ubiquity to the rescue!
The source for both are below. Feel free to modify or make
suggestions as there is certainly room for improvement.
