Safari 12 blocks the extension. #14

Open birnstiel opened 6 years ago

birnstiel commented 6 years ago

Trying to install it in Safari 12 does not work anymore. It says it's not supported, and that I can get extensions from the App Store or from the Apple Website.

Are there workarounds? Or plans to make it supported? Can't live without it! 🙁

Edit: Here is a workaround, but it might only be temporary.

Would love to have this work again. BTW the workaround mentioned doesn't work for me because I can't find the extension in the Safari extensions folder. It is also quite convoluted and, as you suggested, possibly temporary.

dbergey commented 5 years ago

I’m going to need to publish it in the App Store. I’ve got a build that runs in Mojave but it needs a little bit more work.

birnstiel commented 5 years ago

Having it in the App Store would be awesome - looking forward to that!

I'll summarize the steps for the workaround here:

  1. Download the extension with the terminal command wget http://dbergey.github.com/Type-To-Navigate/typetonavigate.safariextz
  2. Extract that extension with xar -xf typetonavigate.safariextz
  3. Go to Safari settings -> Advanced -> check box "Show Develop menu ..."
  4. Go to the Developer menu -> "Show Extension Builder"
  5. Click the "+" in the lower left and on "Add extension"
  6. Select the extracted folder typetonavigate.safariextension
  7. Click "Run"
  8. It should work on new / reloaded pages
  9. It might stop running if you restart/update Safari. If so you need to repeat from step 4

Thanks for the write up!

A version will indeed be coming to the App Store; I’ve been testing it on my computer. Thanks for being patient!

Any updates here? Many thanks for your work on this!

dbergey commented 5 years ago

I just fixed the last big bug in the new version last night. I’ll probably release in the App Store after the new year (heads up; it may be a few dollars since I have to pay for an Apple dev account).

lippytak commented 5 years ago

Awesome, thanks! I will happily throw you more than a couple bucks especially if it will help you justify more development.

lippytak commented 5 years ago

@dbergey any updates? 2019 goal!?

ilyakamens commented 5 years ago

I'm going to get fired if this doesn't get built.

ilyakamens commented 5 years ago

Specifically, @lippytak will fire me.

dbergey commented 5 years ago

I have some App Store assets together but the extension is still a little bit buggy. (I wish Testflight worked for Mac apps.) I will try to get something up on the App Store soon.

BryanSchuetz commented 5 years ago

This is literally the only thing keeping me from abandoning Chrome and coming back home to Safari. How can I help?

birnstiel commented 4 years ago

If anyone knows how to get the workaround to work in Safari 13, please let me know! Hope this will be on the App Store soon! 😢

BryanSchuetz commented 4 years ago

@birnstiel FWIW, I've been using type-ahead-find for Chrome—and it's pretty good. But, yeah..Chrome.

birnstiel commented 4 years ago

thanks, but chrome is not an option for me.

birnstiel commented 3 years ago

Is this still being developed? I saw that there is a keys extension for Safari that is similar, but I'd love to have both the search and link opening capability of type-to-navigate.
