Check out an update to the last post about the Ubiquity for Opera project I just started.
This is getting more serious than even I expected. At this point, you can see that it's not like the real thing yet, but it starts to be reasonably cool. For me, this is already past my best expectations.
If you install and try it, please give me your feedback and, most important, if you have some cool commands you want to add, just tell me. Opera's UserJS can't do everything though. They can't access remote sites via XMLHttpRequest
because of security reasons.
But even with this limitation, I think the result is worth a try. Anyway, I realize that the power of Ubiquity is really the power of the Opera's location bar and custom searches, which are already builtin in every Opera standard browser :-)
There's one really nice feature in the translate
command, and it's that it can automatically translate for you 3 kind of inputs:
- the text you enter at the prompt
- if no text, the selected text on the originating page
- if still nothing, the current window (by URL)
This solves all my translation needs! :-)
Command list follows:
- amazon-search
- answers-search
- ask-search
- back
- bugzilla
