URL Aliases

URL aliases with keyword 'aa'.

Allows you to create URL aliases. Add aliases in the form <alias> <optional description> <url> To go to an alias, type aa <alias> in the address bar. Background: I used Chrome's Site Search feature to also store many URL aliases. I could just type <alias> in the address bar and go to a website. In these cases my URL had no %s in it. I wasn't doing a search, I was using the Site Search feature of Chrome to store aliases for various URLs. However, a recent Chrome update changed the behavior so that Site Search entries *must* have a %s or they no longer work. This extension adds URL aliases back to Chrome, but unfortunately you have to type "aa " before typing the alias. One feature I might add to this (or you could!), if anyone's interested, is the ability to store the aliases in Drive, so that you can share them across devices. New in version 1.7: * https:// isn't needed when you save a URL. Whether you add it or not, it won't be seen in the UI. * You can save the URLs in a file, or load them from a file. * The UI is changed so that there are separate fields in each row. * Aliases are stored alphabetically. * If you start to enter a URL and it exists already, the UI turns red to alert you that you are going to possibly delete it (if the other two fields are blank) or edit it (if at least one of the fields is not blank).
