Charon

Carlbernal's omnibox extension implementation.

Source code: https://github.com/carlbernal/charon Charon lets you create shortcuts and quickly access them through Google Chrome’s Omnibox, simplifying navigation. Imagine you frequently visit a specific page on a website, like a YouTube video you plan to watch later. Rather than bookmarking the page and manually clicking through folders, you can now set a shortcut. Simply activate the Omnibox, type the shortcut keyword (e.g., “fav”), and go straight to that page. ## How to use: 1. **Set Up Shortcuts** - Click the extension icon. - Enter your shortcuts in JSON format using the following schema: ```json { "pattern": "example.com", "pattern2": [ "example.com", "google.com" ], "fb": "facebook.com", "w": "wikipedia.org", "yt": "youtube.com/@HappyConsoleGamer" } ``` *Shortcut Rules:* - **Single Shortcut Mapping**: `"pattern"` opens a single web page. - **Multiple Web Pages**: `"pattern2"` opens multiple web pages at once. The shortcut saves automatically after typing. If there are errors, the extension will notify you at the bottom of the text area. 2. **Activate Omnibox** - After setting up your shortcuts, you can use the search bar to trigger them. - In the search bar, type `c` followed by `tab` or `space` to activate the extension. - Then, type your shortcut (e.g., `fb` for Facebook) and press Enter to navigate to the site.
