chore(plugins-web): Change aliases to address complaints #66

Closed mmstick closed 2 years ago

mmstick commented 2 years ago

People don't like that a features Amazon and b features Bing. I'm sure the same could be said for g for Google. Single-character aliases seem to be a bad idea. Other aliases could also use some improvements to add additional obvious aliases.

I would recommend pinning a comment on each reddit thread pointing to this.

I would like to propose, on top of what @mmstick suggested, to add a toggle for disabling web searches from the launcher and make this toggle persist through updates.

@K-e-d-i What you're really asking for is just a way of enabling and disabling plugins. There isn't currently a configuration mechanism for that, but it's planned.

@mmstick Ahh, if that is the case, +1 for that future plan. Current solution to disable this feature is less than user friendly in my opinion.
