If you need to access all your history, right arrow into Chrome, and the history entry there will contain all of the history.</li> <li>There could be a slight delay when loading all of the history. I have tested the functionality on a four year old Macbook Pro with 7000 history entries and there is only a slight delay when loading, so I think it should be acceptable.</li> <li>The search entries are searchable both by their names as well as the keywords you would use in Chrome.</li> </ul> <p>In addition to the history and search engines, I have also added specific functionality for URLs coming from tabs in Chrome, namely revealing the tab:</p> <img src='/images/posts/2012-05-01/reveal.png' alt='Reveal tab in Chrome' /> <p>and reloading the tab:</p> <img src='/images/posts/2012-05-01/reload.png' alt='Reload tab in Chrome' /> <p>These commands work on the URLs under &#8220;Open Web Pages&#8221; as well as the proxy object &#8220;Current Web Page (Chrome)&#8221;. That means you could set up a global trigger for reloading the current page which is quite nice when doing web development.</p> <p>Read the documentation here:</p> <p><a href='https://github.com/ndreas/GoogleChrome-qsplugin/blob/master/Documentation.markdown'>https://github.com/ndreas/GoogleChrome-qsplugin/blob/master/Documentation.markdown</a></p> <p>Grab the latest version here:</p> <p><a href='https://github.com/ndreas/GoogleChrome-qsplugin/downloads'>https://github.com/ndreas/GoogleChrome-qsplugin/downloads</a></p> 2012-04-27T11:55:00-07:00 http://stdin.se/2012/04/27/google-chrome-quicksilver-plugin <p>I have put together a plugin for accessing Chrome info and functionality in Quicksilver. I have tried to match the features of the Safari plugin as far as possible.</p> <p>The 1.0.0 release of the plugin contains functionality for right arrowing into Chrome, giving you access to the current open pages and the bookmarks:</p> <img src='/images/posts/2012-04-27/right-arrow.png' alt='Content under Chrome' /> <p>The bookmark folders will have the same name as displayed in Chrome, that&#8217;s why the folders are in Swedish in my example.</p> <p>In addition to this, both the current open pages and the bookmarks are available in the catalog:</p> <img src='/images/posts/2012-04-27/catalog.png' alt='Chrome catalog content' /> <p>There are also two proxy objects, the current page:</p> <img src='/images/posts/2012-04-27/current-page.png' alt='Current page in Chrome' /> <p>and search the current site:</p> <img src='/images/posts/2012-04-27/current-site.png' alt='Search current site in Chrome' /> <p>The next feature to add is access to the Chrome history and I&#8217;ll start working on it right away.</p> <p>Read the documentation here:</p> <p><a href='https://github.com/ndreas/GoogleChrome-qsplugin/blob/master/Documentation.markdown'>https://github.com/ndreas/GoogleChrome-qsplugin/blob/master/Documentation.markdown</a></p> <p>Grab the latest version here:</p> <p><a href='https://github.com/ndreas/GoogleChrome-qsplugin/downloads'>https://github.com/ndreas/GoogleChrome-qsplugin/downloads</a></p> 2012-04-01T03:10:00-07:00 http://stdin.se/2012/04/01/version-1.5.0-of-the-iterm2-quicksilver-plugin <p>In the new version of my plugin, I have added open in tab-alternatives to all of the iTerm actions in the plugin:</p> <img src='/images/posts/2012-04-01/actions.png' alt='iTerm actions in Quicksilver' /> <p>The new actions are mutual alternatives, meaning that if you select <code>Open Directory in iTerm</code> and press ⌘↩, it will open in a new tab, and if you use <code>Open Directory in iTerm Tab</code> and press ⌘↩, it will open in a new terminal.</p> <p>As you can see in the image, the tab variants are disabled by default. The reason for this is I did not want to clutter the action list more than necessary, and as stated above, the new actions are reachable by ⌘↩.</p> <p>Should you want to open in tabs &#8220;by default&#8221;, just disable the normal commands and enable the tab commands. Or enable them both.</p> <p>I have also added a tab variant for opening sessions:</p> <img src='/images/posts/2012-04-01/session-actions.png' alt='iTerm session actions in Quicksilver' /> <p>I actually released a 1.4.0 version with just the session action, but just as I had built and uploaded the release to GitHub, I realized that I might as well add alternatives for all the other actions, so I didn&#8217;t bother annoncing it.</p> <p>I have no ideas for further development as of now, so this release is going to stick for a while.</p> <p>Read the documentation here:</p> <p><a href='https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/blob/master/Documentation.markdown'>https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/blob/master/Documentation.markdown</a></p> <p>Grab the latest version here:</p> <p><a href='https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/downloads'>https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/downloads</a></p> 2012-03-29T10:00:00-07:00 http://stdin.se/2012/03/29/version-1.3.0-of-the-iterm2-quicksilver-plugin <p>A little bit of new functionalty - you can now right arrow into iTerm2 and open sessions:</p> <img src='/images/posts/2012-03-29/sessions.png' alt='iTerm sessions in Quicksilver' /> <p>The sessions can (as of now) be opened in a terminal window. I have plans to add actions for opening in new tabs.</p> <p>I also refactored my code a bit. Since this is my first Objective C project, I&#8217;m still getting a feel for how to structure my code.</p> <p>Read the documentation here:</p> <p><a href='https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/blob/master/Documentation.markdown'>https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/blob/master/Documentation.markdown</a></p> <p>Grab the latest version here:</p> <p><a href='https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/downloads'>https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/downloads</a></p> 2012-03-26T12:46:00-07:00 http://stdin.se/2012/03/26/version-1.2.1-of-the-iterm2-quicksilver-plugin <p>New release, no new features though. I only migrated to Scripting Bridge so the plugin doesn&#8217;t rely on an AppleScript to run commands in iTerm.</p> <p>Should have been 1.2.0, but I forgot to lazy load the bridge, so 1.2.0 opened iTerm when Quicksilver started.</p> <p>Grab the latest version in my GitHub repo:</p> <p><a href='https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/downloads'>https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/downloads</a></p> 2012-03-25T04:30:00-07:00 http://stdin.se/2012/03/25/version-1.1.0-of-the-iterm2-quicksilver-plugin <p>I have added iTerm-specific commands to my iTerm2 Quicksilver plugin. The commands supported are:</p> <ul> <li>Run a Text Command in iTerm</li> <li>Run in iTerm [&#8230;]</li> <li>Open Parent Directory in iTerm</li> <li>Open Directory in iTerm</li> </ul> <p>These commands are straight copies of the corresponding commands of the Terminal plugin, but instead of using the configured Command Line Interface, they always use iTerm.</p> <p>Grab the latest version in my GitHub repo:</p> <p><a href='https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/downloads'>https://github.com/ndreas/iTerm2-qsplugin/downloads</a></p> 2012-03-24T04:00:00-07:00 http://stdin.se/2012/03/24/iterm2-quicksilver-plugin <p>I have written a very simple plugin for <a href='http://qsapp.com/'>Quicksilver</a> that makes <a href='http://www.iterm2.com/'>iTerm2</a> available as a choice for Command Line Interface.</p> <p>Right now, the only commands the plugin supports are the &#8221;&#8230; in Terminal&#8221; commands provided by Quicksilver&#8217;s <a href='https://github.com/quicksilver/Terminal-qsplugin'>Terminal plugin</a>, but I have plans on adding more functionality to the plugin.</p> <p>The latest build of my plugin can be found in the download section of my GitHub repo.
