Mozilla Keywords

Posted by Doug Mon, 14 Feb 2005 15:09:00 GMT

I knew this feature existed, but I never did anything about it. In the Mozilla browser (and any of it’s derivatives I’d guess), you can assign keywords to entries in your bookmarks. If you assign a keyword of ’/.’ to http://slashdot.org then you can simply type that in the location bar and it will open that bookmark. Cool for sure.

Here’s why keywords ROCKS! You can pass arguments to your keywords. So, I have a bookmark for my main twiki page with a keyword of ‘lathi’. I modified the bookmark to accept a parameter like this:

http://lathi.net/twiki-bin/view/Main/%s

Now I can type ‘lathi PhotoContests’ in the location bar and jump right to that page. Since a lot of my TWiki pages are kindof launching points to other places on the web, this makes finding them a lot easier.
