What other /slash commands should we add?
- any doc creation/storage app (Dropbox, Quip, Google Docs) for link sharing
- trello tasks
- github pull requests - something like
/github comand/Whwould show a link to this issue (could also be used with PRs) - foursquare/yelp
Two I'd love, one that's simple and one that's not:
- Some way of screenshotting another tab. Almost every PR I put on Github (any many comments) need screenshots and it's fairly cumbersome to get them in
- /shrug. Gives you ¯_(ツ)_/¯
How about /emoji cactus for :cactus:, with the same names that github/slack/basically-everyone uses? I know you can get to the emoji from menu Edit -> Emoji & Symbols, but as slack & github show, it's a much better experience to tab-complete a word than scroll through pages of icons.
Maybe something like: /map -> a geo-location feature that snaps a screenshot map plus google map link. Like when you need to quickly send someone your location.
I have an IFTTT recipe that does this.
edit: looks like google maps has an API call for this, just requires long and lat and an API key https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/intro
:+1: for /emoji
Or link to Google search results for a specific term. e.g. "Great, look who's winning the primary: 2016 Primary"
For /emoji , might have to add a polyfill for default emoji support for Chrome on Windows... Unless it's been updated more recently.
Just released an update (v0.0.14) that adds /emoji — it's not perfect, but it works. If anyone is around this weekend and wants to learn how to add a command, I'd be happy to help!
@jessepollak Maybe a way to add predefined templates for emails?
Loved the extension BTW
- Google Search - Search the web with Google
- Google Translate - Translate text using Google Translate
- Wikipedia - Search for articles on Wikipedia
- Imgur - Search for images on Imgur
- Twitter - Search tweets, @mentions and hashtags on Twitter
I've started working on the Wikipedia command! I've forked it here - https://github.com/cryptixdevelopment/command
The API is strange and returns three different arrays, each for the titles, excerpts, and urls. But I've got that converting to a more suitable array of clear objects.
It's "working" at the minute, just the results aren't formatted very well yet.
I think another good command would be to be able to quickly search on the App Store
I got bored and also added in an App Store command - https://github.com/cryptixdevelopment/command
It works fine, except the pagination isn't perfect.
@cryptixdevelopment so awesome! Do you want to submit a PR? Would love to take a look and merge them in :D
@jessepollak Yeah sure, the Wiki command still needs work but at least the functionality is there.
@jessepollak I think these could be added:
/googleplay- Android Apps OR add it to @cryptixdevelopment's command to make a
/appscommand that searches both (and possibly Windows 10, Ubuntu, etc. app stores)
- Android Apps OR add it to @cryptixdevelopment's command to make a
/search- Give a link to a search engine (your prefered could be set in a Settings page)
/lmgtfy- http://lmgtfy.com/?q=let+me+google+that+for+you
/deviantart- Share images from DeviantArt
/apkmirror- Search APK Mirror for Staged Rollout and Beta Android APKs
/producthunt/xda- Search XDA-Developers
Awesome extension! Just thought about something similar yesterday and found this.
Have you thought about allowing custom commands? I'm thinking this could be very useful as a productivity tool in a work environment but the commands would need to be very customized and connect to internal services.
Also, the ability to "pipe" commands together would be boss. Something like "/youtube searchparam | bitly".
Custom Commands are already supported. See the CONTRIBUTING.md file here: https://github.com/jessepollak/command/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md to learn how to create one.
You can also see the source code of existing command such as /emoji under src/content/commands folder
@ishu3101 I think @scrussell24 means a easy way for users to make them with a Settings UI (so you could add macro slashes (/omw=on my way) like Slash Keyboard does on mobile). That's for devs to implement API style commands (like the YouTube API for video search for instance)
/stackoverflow - Reference a Stackoverflow Page
/github-repo - Reference to a Github Repo
