q/ shortcuts
4 ratings
)Overview
Type q/<phrase> or q/ <phrase> in the address bar to jump to a URL you've mapped.
q/ shortcuts turns Chrome's address bar into a personal command palette. Map a phrase once, then type q/<phrase> + Enter from anywhere — the omnibox, the new tab page, a search box — and you'll jump straight to the URL you set. Or type q/ + Tab to open the built-in launcher with live typeahead over every shortcut you've saved. No bookmarks bar clutter, no fuzzy history search, no hand-typed URLs. EXAMPLES q/gh → https://github.com q/cal → https://calendar.google.com q/pr → https://github.com/your-org/your-repo/pulls q/aws → https://console.aws.amazon.com HOW IT WORKS 1. Type q/<phrase> in the address bar and hit Enter — or press q/ + Tab first for a typeahead launcher. 2. Chrome will either try http://q/<phrase> directly or send q/<phrase> to your default search engine — both are intercepted. 3. The phrase (or any of its aliases) is looked up in your mapping table and you're redirected. 4. If there's no matching shortcut, the options page opens so you can create one on the spot. FEATURES - Works from the omnibox, the new tab page, and any search box. - Built-in launcher: q/ + Tab gives live, ranked typeahead over your shortcuts, showing the target URL and any matched alias. - Every shortcut can have aliases — extra phrases that resolve to the same URL. - Phrase and alias matching is fully case-insensitive. - Duplicate or overlapping phrases and aliases are blocked, so shortcuts never silently collide. - Mappings sync across your Chrome profile via chrome.storage.sync. - Clean options page for adding, editing, and removing shortcuts. - Zero tracking. Zero network calls. Your mappings never leave your browser. PERMISSIONS - webNavigation — to detect when you've typed a q/ phrase and redirect you. - storage — to save your shortcuts and sync them across devices. No host permissions. No access to the contents of any page. Open source and auditable.
