Charon Extension

Charon: Effortless Shortcuts Using Google Chrome's Omnibox

Charon lets you create shortcuts and quickly access them through Google Chrome’s Omnibox, simplifying navigation.

Imagine you frequently visit a specific page on a website, like a YouTube video you plan to watch later. Rather than bookmarking the page and manually clicking through folders, you can now set a shortcut. Simply activate the Omnibox, type the shortcut keyword (e.g., “fav”), and go straight to that page.

## How to use Charon

1. **Set Up Shortcuts**

- Click the extension icon.

- Type in your shortcuts in JSON format:

{
\"pattern\": \"url\",
\"g\": \"https://google.com\",
\"yt\": \"https://youtube.com\"
}

2. **Activate Omnibox**

- After setting up your shortcuts, you can use the search bar to trigger them.

- In the search bar, type `c` followed by `tab` or `space` to activate the
extension.

- Then, type your shortcut, for example `g` for Google, and hit enter to
navigate to the site.
