[Feature Request] Ability to add prefix search for each plugin

Open CoinAxe opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

For my setup, I've been using ueli for make searching in Google as default, by using the fallback option and removing the prefix for Google. Because for my use scenario I would say I'm using google search 90% of the time, and occasionally I would be searching my files and some apps I have to launch.

For my case and for similar people, I suggest making a prefix option for each plugin. So for searching files in the computer I would go with something like f? for apps a? and b? for bookmarks ..etc

It would be really great having this feature and would definitely improve ueli

Definitely agree. It should be standard for all plugins. Thankfully for me my most used plugin mdfind has a prefix character I can change. :)

Definitivamente estoy de acuerdo. Debe ser estándar para todos los plugins. Afortunadamente para mí mi plugin más utilizado tiene un carácter de prefijo que puedo cambiar. :)mdfind

if you have Mac OS, why don't you use the Alfred app?

I used to for many, many years. But I recently upgraded to latest MacOS and my old version of paid Alfred stopped working and I didn't want to rebuy it :)
