Reddit Omnibox Extension

Navigate to a subreddit or user from the Omnibox, with subreddit suggestions through the Reddit api.

Typing 'r chrome' navigates to /r/chrome. Specify a page with /hot, /new, etc. 'r chrome/new' navigates to /r/chrome/new.

/top and /controversial can also specify a time period with /day, /all, etc. 'r chrome/top/all' navigates to /r/chrome/top?t=all

Leave the subreddit name blank to navigate to the frontpage. 'r ' navigates to the frontpage, while 'r /top/all' navigates to the top frontpage posts of all time.

You only have to include enough letters to specify which page to view. Typing 'r chrome/t/a' navigates to /r/chrome/top?t=all. The selected page is indicated as the first suggestion in the Omnibox, so just add more characters if it's wrong.

Navigate to a particular user with 'r u/name', using similar page breakdowns as in subreddit completion. Username suggestions are gathered from the friends list. For example, 'r u/spez//c/a' navigates to /u/spez/overview?sort=controversial&t=all

Respects 'include not safe for work (NSFW) search results in searches' option in Reddit user preferences.
