Display list of "keywords" on new tab (Feature, not Bug) #123

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Not a bug, sort of a feature or minor css/design option.

I have a lot of saved "keywords" in Fauxbar such as "imdb" or "ebay" which let 
me search their respectives sites.

I have many. Most of the time I can't remember half of them so I need to either 
look and see or just do it manually.

It would be nice to be able to have a space beneath the combo search & 
history-bookmarks bar on Fauxbar's "new tab" option  that would display a few 
columns that contained all the various keywords and their respective sites.

I still want the apps and sites, but maybe just have the option to "squidge" 
them down an inch or two and have a box that lists out the search keywords.

I've only been using Fauxbar for a week or two but absolutely love it. After 
one day it became the entire focal point for all my web work.

I attached a screenshot. Doesn't really help much. Sorry :(

Thanks very much!

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I'm pretty slow with adding new features (and 
slow enough with fixing bugs as it is), but...

Currently you can click the little arrow/triangle on either Fauxbar's Address 
Box or Search Box, and it will display the search engines you've added. Is that 
sufficient?

Or perhaps if the Address Box (and/or Search Box) results also showed matching 
search engines, so you could click or select to search? That way you wouldn't 
have to remember every keyword? At the moment you really do have to know a 
search engine's keyword exactly :(  (unless you click to show them all) So 
there's room for improvement here at least.

I want to make the area below the faux bar heaps more customisable than it is 
now (issue #61) so it sounds like this sort of request would fit into that 
nicely, but I have no ETA.
