I like Safari. I used to use the Safari Omnikey plugin. But change in Safari's specifications, Safari Omnikey is no longer available. I tried several alternatives, but could not find anything I liked, so I created this plugin.
Searchlight can be called up by double tapping the Option key anywhere on the screen.
Combine keywords and search words to display search results in the browser.
G bettertouchtool plugins
In this example, the first "G" is the keyword to search on google, and the following "bettertouchtool plugins" is the search words.
The following key combinations can be used when performing a search (only for safari/chrome).
enter: current tab
command+enter: new tab
shift+enter: new window
In the search form, press the up and down keys to view the search history.
Type "," in the search form to open the settings window. In the settings window, you can add a search provider or select a browser.
I' ll be working on performance improvements, bug fixes, and adding new features. If you like this, please buy me a coke https://www.buymeacoffee.com/sw27
Follow the steps below to create a new preferences.json.
Update to searchlight 1.1.
Double-tap the option key once to launch serachlight.
Exit searchlight.
Next is how to edit preferences.json.
Open terminal.app. (You can find it by typing "terminal" in spotlight (not searchlight ))
Copy and paste the following command into your terminal and press enter. open -a textEdit ~/Applications/BetterTouchTool/Presets/Searchlight/preferences.json
TextEdit opens preferenses.json. The bottom line has the following three lines. "fnEnter": "currentTab", "fnCmdEnter": "newTab", "fnShiftEnter": "newWindow"
Rewrite "fnEnter": "currentTab" to "fnEnter": "newTab".
Now you can just press enter and it will open in a new tab.
It is recommended to replace "fnCmdEnter": "newTab" to "fnCmdEnter": "currentTab".
