I just updated my BTT and realized that it can now replace my app that lets me determine what browser to open a link in. However, I can't get it to work.
I've run through the Did Open URL / URL Based Trigger help file along with Reusable Named Triggers and I'm still unable to make it work. When I click on a link, nothing happens. I have BTT set as my default browser and the link doesn't open which makes me think BTT is trying, but I don't get a context menu.
Anyone get this to work? If so, I'd love help to see what I'm doing wrong. Thanks
I'm on Big Sur 11.1 (20C69) with BTT 3.540
Ah little misunderstanding:
Here you need to enter a pattern to match the URL for example *://www.google.com/*
Thanks for the quick reply.
A feature request would be to allow it to use any URL then. I don't feel it's an urgent need, but it seems like we're close today.
If you want to match any url just enter *
(or for all http urls http://*
)
Amazing! Just like that, I have exactly what I was hoping for.
Next question (related) how can we add other browsers to the list of browsers? Seems like BTT has a manual list. I'd like to add Opera and Vivaldi
you can use the „custom terminal command“ option and then enter something like
/usr/bin/open -a Opera '{url}'
Thank you again. Opera is working as expected but Vivaldi is not.
/usr/bin/open -a Vivaldi '{url}'
is what I'm using and it doesn't show in the BTT context menu when clicking on a link.
If I put /usr/bin/open -a Vivaldi 'https://www.google.com'
in Terminal it works so I'm pretty sure it's valid code.
Did you add it to the custom context menu action?
Yes, I had it in all the right places. However, I somehow had Open In Vivaldi
for the name and Open in Vivaldi
in the context menu. I'm pretty sure I checked that the names matched, but it seems I didn't.
Thanks again. Your support is fantastic and so is the app.
