Add a popup to the UI #5

I like the simplicity of your chrome extension, but I would find it a lot more useful if it had a popup as well for adding new aliases.

What I think would work well would be something like what Vimium does for the 'exclude keys' for each site. You could have the options page with the full UI you have now, but you could also have a popup that, when opened, will automatically put the current URL in the destination box, leaving the user to type in an alias and click "save." This could also have a link to easily open the configuration page that already exists.

I like constantly configuring things, but I hate going to chrome://extensions/, scrolling through to your extension, clicking options, copy-pasting my URL, and figuring out a suitable mapping.

Good suggestion. Will look into it.
