Customization Options

  • Modify commands: Use your preferred keywords for any shortcut (e.g., "gh" → "git")
  • Customize names: Rename shortcuts to match your preferences (e.g., "Google" → "Search")
  • Hide shortcuts: Remove ones you don't use from the list
  • Add custom shortcuts: Create up to 10 shortcuts for your favorite sites

Note: URLs are protected to keep this extension free, but you have full control over names and commands.

💡 Tip: "App Launchers" open applications directly (like VS Code, Figma), while others search websites.
