I have written a couple of commands for the firefox addon
Ubiquity, a simple
sort of "command line" (not really, but I am just playing along
with their PR). Ubiquity is
based off of
enso,
which does more or less the same thing, except for the Windows
desktop, and it was written in Python and C. For a bit of reference,
the company that wrote enso, Humanized, was purchased by Mozilla recently
(mostly UofC CS guys!). I saw a talk on Enso at a Chicago ACM meeting from
one of the companies founders, so I was happy to see something cross-platform
developed. I think it is still mostly a toy, but it seems like a great replacement
for bookmarklets. Since it is an extension, it runs from your browser window's
environment, which is dangerous to say the least. It also means that it is a pain
in the ass to mess with the current page. I only have written a couple at the moment,
but I may write more when I am board sometime.
My Commands
- serialize-dom - a port of a bookmarklet I use a lot. The XML serializers in firefox is one of my favorite features, but I think other browsers are starting to bring it in now too.
- doit - Making it easier for you to DOIT
