missing Find symbol/engines/"output web apps" list

Open 4www opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

In the case of a user starting to type in their omnibox, and wanting to "complete an action", such as ex:

  • would like to convert a/this file in an other fomat
  • would like to CRUDSearch information somewhere,
  • generally accessing a web app, and maybe getting a "url pipeable output"
  • etc.

some pattern of missing engines, symbols and semantics emerge, can try to list them until we find an app that provides the desired functionalities.

Maybe can also be discussed on:

Some examples

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_URI_scheme
  • https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/2312 matrix also uses prefix symbol similar to find to represent rooms(id,alias), users, events:
The following classes MUST be supported:
User IDs (@user:example.org)
Room IDs (!roomid:example.org)
Room aliases (#roomalias:example.org)
Event IDs ($eventid:example.org)
  • view-source: from mobile browsers polyfill; see possibilities with https://eruda.liriliri.io/
  • magnet: links protocol (to do something by default? browsers already request for selecting an application for this scheme, but could think about "registering a protocol handler")
  • magnet link utilities (to .torrent, decrypt etc.)
  • data:<mediatype>[;base64],<data> as a protocol/symbol, and not a set of + do actions
  • and other URI/protocol/scheme that one might copy/paste to a URL or want to "transform into an other URL/protocol" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_URI_schemes
  • also would be nice to be able to even "list links" that can "resolve to something in a browser", for applications like dns:[//<host>[:<port>]/]<dnsname>[?<dnsquery>]
  • dns://radio4000.com/A/ -> dns://radio4000.com/A/ (not rendered in github markdown, but would be in html)
