Hey, how can we add custom commands? For example, I need an action shortcut to open Google Calendar. I self-hosted the extension and also changed the hotkey to CMD+Shift+K but I get a few extension errors.

If opened multiple instances of Chrome, tab switching to tab in inactive window switches to tab with the same number as selected, but in current window.
OS: Windows 10;
Browser: Brave;

Don't know if it's fixable, let me know please

Great plugin! It is really useful :) Unfortunately, currently is not very performant for me, probably because I have a lot of bookmarks.

I've profiled the issue and here is the recording:
Omni.Performance.js.zip

I think the issue comes from updating the huge (in my case) list while I'm typing. For now, a quick solution I can see is to debounce the list update while a user is typing, so that only after the user finishes typing for some seconds, it refreshes the list. This will decrease a little bit the UX, so ideally there are other ways this can be more performant. I'm not a js dev, but I'll try to research and well help you if ofc you need any help, if you already have an idea how to fix it, great!

Thank You!

Please add shortcut to open developer tools to inspect console messages and network calls.

ctrl + k shortcut is not working when the browser is in a fresh new tab.

Thanks for the tool! Unfortunately i found omni unusable on my system. Whenever [Shift] + [Ctrl] + [K] is pressed on the Edge Browser, the action bar is not opening, but instead the "Get Started" Screen.

When the Extension is launched from the Extension Toolbar via mouseclick, however, it works as supposed.

If current tab has actions on keyboard (like escape key in telegram web) it overrides action in Omni, and Omni does not closing

Love the extension! I've been using alfred app for age and this is a perfect browser companion.

I often open Omni while looking at a tab I want to keep open. It would be nice to be able to hold ctrl or cmd and press rtn to open in a new tab :)

like open github.com

for example:

it's very hard to recognize URL only through the title

Looks like when im in jira I can open the omnibox normally with the shortcut, but the input has no focus at all.
Clicking the input has no effect, and I can't write at all on that page.

Clicking items work as expected, so i can change tabs, the problem is just on the input field

Thank you for creating a great tool. I fall in love with it right after the first try.

I think the tool can be better if directly showing the search suggestion in the results. Like the way we search in the Chrome address bar.

Not sure is it possible, but I think it'll be very helpful :D

Hello,

I have notices that I can't login to my phpmyadmin server because the browser refuses to create the session cookie.
Upon further investigation, looks there is a request to an http page inside the login page, which breaks the security and prevents the site from creating cookies. View attachment.

From what i can see, the omnibox is loading an item from my history, which is a localhost server without https, and thus rendering the whole site insecure and then i cannot login.

I have verified this by disabling the extension and then i can login without problems.

I suggest you eiter

• dont inject the omnibox DOM directly into the page
• dont perform searches on page init until the user invoques the omnibox
• dont display images until the user opens the box

When I enable the Omni extension, seems like it messes up the smooth scroll bezier curves on all websites.

For example, on https://webflow.com/pricing#account if you click on any of pricing plans, the scrolling is weird and bouncy. Same on any other site that uses js-based smooth scrolling.

When I open Omni the first result is focused. If I type and the first result is still the same, it is still focused. But if I type to get other results, the first result is not focused.

Expected behaviour: It should be focused

The easiest example would be example.com, which displays a blank screen instead of the page content. Deleting the omni-extension element in DevTools fixes it.

How the page looks:

How the page should look:

I use Chrome engine too but Omni doesn't work very well.
Thanks

Would be great if Omni has support of external bookmark tools here, I mean the Raindrop.io.

Hay!

Whenever I try to load the extension, I get an error saying.

Situation: Pressing Ctrl+K on a new tab page.
Expected output: the menu should pop with all the info
Actual output: there is not activity in the new tab.

device: HP laptop, Windows 11, chrome latest update.

Hi 👋🏻

Your project is really interesting, but JQuery is kinda deprecated, and not recommanded to be used. You can find more explainations here.

I was starting to make a pull request without JQuery, but i prefer to discuss about it before.

It's totally possible to make this extension respond to a command or user action rather than request permission to all_urls. This is an unnessecary permission, only activeTab is needed.

Scratch has styles which apply to #footer, and they make the footer in Omni look wrong. To reduce the chance of collisions, it might be helpful to use names like #omni-footer and so on.

P.S. I absolutely love this extension! Such a cool idea, and really well executed. 😄

Awesome extension.
I'd love to pay for it if it can be listed on AppStore.

From the search bar menu, if I choose "Clear local storage", for example, there is no feedback if the operation was successful or not. Hence, I suggest adding something like a snackbar to inform the user of the output.

This is a great extension and my use for it will increase immensely if the search also includes installed extensions. I have way too many chrome extensions I use everyday and pinning them all near the address bar makes it look cluttered while searching for the one I want to launch from the extensions menu (list) takes too much time.
It would be immensely convenient if I could just type "Cookie Editor" or "Teleparty" on the omni search bar and press enter which then does the same thing that would usually take me at least 10 seconds or cost me a cluttered address bar.

Please optimize the extension for Microsoft Edge, as some features are buggy and don't work.

Thanks for this tool.
I just began to test some of the features.
I found the up arrow not working ( the down arrow is ok).
To be detailed, the up-arrow will only work once to select two items, as follows:

My environment is Win10.
Please check it.

And, I found this tool reacts really snow in my side, wondering some problem here in Windows?

Mabe a default favicon is needed in these cases:

Will there be support for browsers on chromium below the version? I'm using the Cent browser in which the version of chromium is 86. And I can't add Omni in any way. An error appears Invalid value for 'web_accessible_resources[0].

First of all, great plugin! I'm sure this is going to save me lots of time!

I noticed this issue when trying to use Omni to pin or unpin a tab. It opened the history page instead. I started debugging a bit and noticed that when Omni retrieves the available actions for the following list the "action" attribute is set to "history":

• Bookmark
• Pin tab
• Mute tab
• Help
• Compose email
• New Notion page
• New Sheets spreadsheet
• New Docs document
• New Slides presentation
• New form
• New Medium story
• New GitHub repository
• New GitHub gist
• New CodePen pen
• New Excel spreadsheet
• New PowerPoint presentation
• New Word document
• Create a whiteboard
• Record a video
• Create a Figma file
• Create a FigJam file
• Hunt a product
• Make a tweet
• Create a playlist
• Create a Canva design
• Create a new podcast episode
• Edit an image
• Convert to PDF
• Scan a QR code
• Add a task to Asana
• Add an issue to Linear
• Add a task to WIP
• Create an event
• Add a note
• New meeting
• Browsing history
• Incognito mode
• Extensions
• Scroll to bottom
• Scroll to top
• Go back
• Go forward
• Duplicate tab
• Close tab
• Close window
• Manage browsing data
• Clear all browsing data
• Clear browsing history
• Clear cookies
• Clear cache
• Clear local storage
• Clear passwords

I've tried to dive deeper into the clearActions() function but didn't manage to find the actual problem.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any webpage
2. Trigger Omni to open (I was using the keyboard shortcut I configured: Ctrl + Shift + K)
3. Select one of the actions from the list above

Expected result
The chosen action is executed

Actual result
The browser history page (chrome://history) is opened

System Info
OS: Chrome OS
Version: 96.0.4664.111 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Extension version: 1.1.3

Could be a quick but very useful feature - simply if I can type url and open a website from the search. e.g. by typing: "alyssax.com".

Awesome product, congrats with the launch! ;)

Can we have tabs' ordering by last open at the top, same as chrome tabs search do? It will be a huge boost in productivity. While working people usually keep switching between 3, 4 tabs, putting them on top of the list makes it much much easier to navigate.

VM27 content.js:201 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'ctrlKey')
    at handleAction (VM27 content.js:201:12)
    at HTMLDocument.<anonymous> (VM27 content.js:305:4)
    at HTMLDocument.dispatch (jquery.js:2:43064)
    at HTMLDocument.v.handle (jquery.js:2:41048)

Looks like the event in handleAction is always undefined

Once you life up an arrow key (down or up) it shifts the focus right back to the first item

Note; The only key I pressed in the recording was the down arrow (repeatedly)

I'm using this and loving it so far ❤️ . One thing that is conflicting with my workflow. The default shortcut to open omni is Command+K. Don't take me wrong, this is configurable through the chrome://extensions/shortcuts panel, but I think the right default shortcut would be Shift+Command+K, for the following reasons:

• And many text editors (e.g. Github text fields) Command+K is the default shortcut to add links to selected text in markdown
• In Slack Command+K is the most used shortcut to navigate DMs
• maybe others?

Anyways, since I'm foreseeing quote a lot of users running into the above I would suggest the suggested default key to change to

"commands": {
	"open-omni": {
		"suggested_key": {
			"default": "Ctrl+Shift+K",
			"mac": "Command+Shift+K"
		},
		"description": "Open command menu"
	}
},

I cannot access Omni on default browser tab states like in an empty tab.

But I noticed my other browser extension shortcuts work, e.g. Notion:

First of all, nice work on this, it's awesome.

Just thought you could add the link to chromestore on the right, so others can find it on time. I didn't find it on time. 🙂

Add plugin support just like alfred, so we can contribute make this tool stronger

Would be great to have a discord community just so that people who have questions, support or want to discuss, do not need to have a Github account, and instant messaging is always better for organization over forum based

Just throwing out the thought!

After typing in the /bookmark I type a couple of letters to populate a particular bookmark. If I click the result or select and hit enter/return I am directed to a search result in my default search engine for "/bookmark" + any text I had entered.

Hello!

Can we have support for searching and opening items added to chromes reading list?

Regards,
Luke.

Hi 👋🏻

Right now i'm on Firefox, and would like to use the extension! But this one is not available yet on Firefox. Is it planned? If not, this becomes a suggestion 😄

Hello,

Loving the extension so far, but as I am very bad remembering things, i have set the shortcut to open omni as CTRL+P (just as in VSCODE).

This shortcut is used to print a page, which I rarely do, and chrome hasn't given me any problems assigning the shortcut.
The thing is that I think that having the option to do CTRL+P and search "print" to print a page would be something awesome to have.

Thanks for the work

First off, congrats on the launch and thanks for making this extension. It is quite useful to search browser-related everything (tabs, history, bookmarks) with a single shortcut and without using a mouse.

That said, I have a bit problem that browser history can't be searched on Omni.

For example, I searched for "manhole". It is showing in my browser history as follows.

However, it is not showing in the omni search results.

It was the same when I searched using terms "plan", "Business", "Xcore". Do you know why it occurs?

My environment:

Browser: Brave (Version 1.34.80 Chromium: 97.0.4692.71 (Official Build) (64-bit))
OS; Windows 10 education

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if you stole my idea or not, it's possible you came up with this on your own, but it seems like you copied my extension which I made about a month ago.
